How long it takes to repair a sewer line depends on a few factors such as the location of the pipe, the size of the pipe, and the type and extent of damage that has occurred. That being said, most sewer line repairs take one to three days to complete. However, more complex repairs can take up to a week to complete.

The main culprit of a collapsed sewer line is typically tree roots. Tree roots naturally seek out water so they are highly attracted to all of the moisture that exists within your sewer line. Unfortunately, these tree roots can end up growing into the actual pipe itself, through the joints, and after decades of use, the tree roots degrade from the constant exposure to moisture. Eventually, the sewer line itself will weaken to the point of completely collapsing. If you are struggling with a collapsed sewer line, call Enco Plumbing to help you replace it right away.

If you have slow draining showers and sinks, gurgling toilets, foul odors from drains, or sewage backups, these can all be signs of a sewer line in need of repair. Other indicators include patches of lush green grass growing over your sewer line as well as reduced water pressure in your home.

Common signs of a sewer line problem often involve slow drains, sewage backups, and foul odors. Slow drains are a sign that there is an obstruction or clog in the pipes that may require professional help to clear out. Sewage backups can be caused by clogs further down the line or even tree roots intruding on the pipe resulting in blockages and backups.
