• Most people dont think about their drain
  lines until they start having problems such as
  being clogged or slow draining. Sometimes these
  can be fixed by cleaning out the drain, but it
  can also mean that your pipes need to be
  replaced. Here are five common questions people
  have concerning sewer line replacements in Utah.

1.What are the signs that I may need a sewer line
replacement?

• If you have a single sink or toilet that is
  draining slowly or is clogged, the pipes may just
  need to be cleaned. However, if youve noticed
  that multiple drains are slow or there are
  frequent backups, it may be time for repair.

2. Is there a sure way to know if my pipe needs a
replacement?

• A camera inspection done by a plumber in Utah
  can determine if you need a replacement. This
  type of inspection is done by threading a camera
  in the sewer line and seeing if there are any
  cracks, holes, roots, or collapsed sections of
  pipe. Depending on the situation, the plumber
  will recommend a drain cleaning or pipe repair.

3. When should I start thinking about sewer line
replacement?

• When you notice an increase in clogs or slow
  drains is when you should consider getting your
  pipes looked at. Sewer lines have a lifetime of
  at least 75 years. However, this can be decreased
  from different factors such as any installation
  errors, the types of things you put down your
  drains, or if you have any tree roots that have
  got in the way.

4. Can I just clean out the pipe myself without
replacing it?

• People in Utah like doing their own home
  repairs. However, this is one that may be best
  handled by a plumber. If the pipe has collapsed,
  trying to use cleaner will not help, as the
  chemicals will just sit and dissolve the pipe. If
  you try flushing out the pipe with water, it may
  create more backup and cause additional damage.

5. What are the types of replacements?

• There are two common types of sewer
  replacements traditional or trenchless. The
  traditional method involves digging a trench,
  removing the old line, and adding a new one in
  the trench.
• With the trenchless method, the plumber will
  either burst the pipe and install a new pipe in
  the same tunnel or add a liner in the original
  pipe. Trenchless methods require minimal digging,
  which makes them ideal when you dont want your
  landscaping dug up, or the sewer line runs under
  sidewalks and driveways.
