This describes a process where we insert, through trenchless technology, an inflatable lining that hardens once it\u2019s inserted into your sewer line. This is the easiest way to fix leaks and other damage that may have occurred to your sewer line.<\/p>\n<p>Most homeowners don\u2019t really think about this much, but the sewer line of your plumbing system is probably the most important part <em>of <\/em>your plumbing system, removing wastewater from your home safely and hygienically.<\/p>\n<p>Sewer lines are usually buried beneath the yard, which keeps them unexposed so they\u2019re less likely to suffer from damage that can come due to weather-related wear and tear or animals. Unfortunately, this doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re immune to problems, and those problems can be hard to spot <em>since <\/em>the sewer line is underground.<\/p>\n<p>So how can you spot sewer line trouble, such as a leak?<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>Puddles in Your Yard<\/h2>\n<p>Sewer line leaks will often produce odd puddles in the yard\u2014meaning puddles where there shouldn\u2019t be puddles. If you see standing water but there\u2019s no explanation for it like rain or a broken sprinkler head, then it\u2019s probably time to give us a call.<\/p>\n<h2>Excess Greenery in Your Landscaping<\/h2>\n<p>The grass and plants in your yard can and will use a leaking sewer line as a source of fertilization. As we\u2019ll talk about more below, it\u2019s even possible for tree roots to break through and create cracks in your pipes.<\/p>\n<h2>Slow Moving Drains<\/h2>\n<p>A backup in your drains or a clogged up pipe isn\u2019t that uncommon for the average home. When the sewer line is backed up though, it will probably leave <em>all <\/em>the drains in your house nonfunctional or at least slow. This is absolutely not something that should be ignored if it occurs in your home.<\/p>\n<h2>Mold and Bacteria Growth<\/h2>\n<p>Leaks in the sewer line can and will create an explosion of mold growth and bacteria in the home. It\u2019s never a good sign to see mold growth on your property\u2014mold and mildew can make you sick, especially if you already suffer from allergies or asthma, or if anyone else in your household does.<\/p>\n<h2>Running Water<\/h2>\n<p>A sewer line leak can produce the sound of dripping or running water sometimes. This sound will typically be localized somewhere where there shouldn\u2019t be any running water.<\/p>\n<h2>Foul Odors<\/h2>\n<p>As you are likely very well aware, there is a high amount of gasses and similar odorous particles that travel through the sewer line. If there is a blockage or backup with this plumbing components, you\u2019ll likely pick up on these strange odors.<\/p>\n<h2>Cracks in the Foundation<\/h2>\n<p>Any liquid that\u2019s released from a sewer line can create pressure that damages the concrete of porches as well as pools, and can damage the foundation of your home itself. Cracks usually are indicative of a problem that\u2019s been around for a while.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>For professional <a href=\"\/service-areas\/des-plaines-il-plumbing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">24 hour plumbing in Des Plaines, IL<\/a>, contact <a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Reliance Plumbing Sewer &amp; Drainage, Inc. <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heed these signs that you need pipe relining to keep your plumbing in good shape. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[81],"tags":[187,128],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1164"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1168,"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1164\/revisions\/1168"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1164"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1164"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.relianceplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1164"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
