  • waterdropWeather can cause pipe cracks. Frequent ground freezes and thaws can result in sewer pipes cracking or bursting.
  • waterdropEven one big freeze within the pipe can block, crack open or burst the sewer pipe from within.
  • waterdropEarthquakes or nearby earth movement.
  • waterdropAging of pipes.
  • waterdropBad sewer pipe layout, installation and/or design.

Possible Broken Sewer Line Solutions

Mr. Rooter Plumbing uses specialized video camera equipment to locate and assess your sewer pipe cracks and damage. Your property layout and sewer system are unique, but based on typical sewer pipe problems we see, trenchless repair options can include:

  • waterdropPipe relining: Pipe lining gives you new pipes from the inside out. Mr. Rooter Plumbing can line existing sewer pipes with a “sleeve” to eliminate pipe cracks. After cleaning the pipe, we apply lining material, which hardens over a few hours to make your sewer pipe system whole once again.
  • waterdropBursting: Depending upon the situation, Mr. Rooter Plumbing can pull a new sewer pipe through the remnants of your old one, using hydraulics. This technique further breaks apart your old, cracked sewer pipe--and installs a new seamless pipe in it’s place--all at the same time.
  • waterdropPreventive maintenance: At Mr. Rooter Plumbing, we also offer regularly scheduled inspections and drain cleaning to help keep grease, hair and other household debris from clogging, cracking or bursting your pipes. This helps to prevent sewer pipe cracks and/or discover sewer pipe cracking early when repair is easier, less costly and more convenient.
