Are Your Sewer Lines Creating Smells in Your Home?

If you’re occasionally getting a whiff of rotten eggs, you could have a gas leak. If the smell isn’t constant, there may be something wrong with your sewage system. Oftentimes, the sewage smell comes from bacteria that are living in your pipes. It could also be from broken or cracked pipes, a blockage, tree roots, and leaking pipes. Determining why you are smelling sewage can be difficult without the proper training. Our technicians have been carefully trained to not only diagnose the issue, but make recommendations on repairing or replacing areas of pipe.

Part of our diagnosis may include video inspection of your sewage pipes. This will help us correctly find the root of the problem and suggest a course of action. Once we’ve agreed on how to handle the problem, we will get started and help you get rid of that sewage smell in your home!

Sewer Line Installation in Salt Lake City

When you need to replace your sewer line, a non-invasive option is a trenchless method. There are two main processes to doing this - pipe lining or pipe bursting.

Pipe bursting involved using a machine to break out the old pipe while it puts the new pipe in place behind the old one. This process creates two holes - one at the spot where the sewer line enters your house, and the other where your sewer line meets the main. For this process to be efficient, your new pipes should have the same diameter as the existing pipes.

The other option is a pipe-lining method. During this process, a resin-coated flexible pipe is pulled through the old pipe to replace it. When the new pipe is set in place, a machine inflates it as the resin hardens in place, creating a new pipe within the old pipe.

Do I Need To Replace My Sewer Line?

Because your sewer line is located underground, it can be difficult to know when it needs to be replaced. Since you can’t visually spot issues, you need to watch for symptoms that can signal you need to install a new line. Some top signs to watch for include:

  • Age: If your home is more than 50 years old and you have not replaced your sewer line, you should schedule a sewer video inspection to determine the state of your system and see if it’s time to replace it.
  • Bad odors: If you smell bad odors around your home or property, it’s essential to have your line inspected.
  • Gurgling sounds: If you hear gurgling - or bubbling - sounds coming from your pipes, it can indicate a problem in your line. You should have it inspected by a professional to determine if it can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced.
  • Back-ups: If you have wastewater backing up in your house, it’s essential to have your line looked at by an expert immediately.
  • Tree roots: If you have a lot of trees on your property, the roots can infiltrate your pipes and cause a rupture.
