Sewer Line Repair

Sewer Line Repair and Sewer Line Replacements are common in Louisville and surrounding counties because of the number of homes that were built in this area before the mid-1970s. For years Terra-cotta Sewer Piping was the most common piping material for sewer installations until the 1970s. If your home was built after 1980 the sewer pipe is most likely a PVC material.

PVC piping makes a Sewer Line Repair more predictable however if your home was built prior to 1972 there were multiple materials used for these installations and are prone to deterioration. If your home was built in Louisville Kentucky between 1972-1980 your sewer pipe could be Terra-cotta (clay), Orangeburg (compressed paper), or PVC sewer piping.

If your home fits one of the above timeframes and you're having frequent sewer problems then you might want ASI Plumbing to use a Sewer Pipe Inspection Camera to view the inside of your sewer pipe to evaluate its condition. Often we'll find a broken and fractured sewer pipe and aggressive roots that have made a home inside your sewer. Perception would be to just cut the roots out of the sewer, however, like any tree pruning, the roots will grow back and more aggressively. The only REAL FIX for a cracked and broken sewer piping is a Sewer Line Repair or Sewer Line Replacement. If you're in need of a Sewer Line Repair we strongly recommend replacing the entire sewer if your budget would allow it. If your sewer is completely replaced you can rest easy with many trouble-free years.
