Your sewerage pipes are responsible for transporting waste from your home to the public sewerage system of your area and are hence a very important system in your home.
However, since it is generally buried underground, it may be difficult to spot the causes of certain problems, and locating the spot needing a repair can also be tricky.
Outlined below are a few of the most common causes of sewer line problems, that, if spotted, can be discussed with a professional Sydney plumber to sort out any repair work needed.
Broken Sewer Pipe
A broken sewer pipe can be identified by noting any strange puddles and smells in your yard, or by noticing a drop in water pressure in your home.
Common causes of a broken sewer pipe include corrosion of the piping, tree and plant roots, or a shift in the ground nearby due to any construction projects or simple digging in the yard.
Blocked Sewer Pipes
Clogs in sewerage piping are typically caused by the same culprit; a build-up of icky materials in the pipes, preventing the water from flowing into the sewerage system. (You know what materials we’re talking about).
These back-ups are also commonly caused by complications in the larger civic sewerage system, hence, it is recommended for homes to use an automatic shut-off valve to avoid these complications.
