All homeowners should know about a few common causes of sewer issues. Typically, sewer problems are caused by tree root infiltration, corroded pipes, clogged sewer lines, and shifting soil. We’ll review these factors and explain how they affect your sewer line.
As the roots of your trees grow, they move toward sources of water and nutrients, such as your sewer line. The tree roots may find weaknesses in your sewer line and break through, causing severe leaks. They could also trap debris and create clogs that lead to your sewer line bursting. You likely won’t be able to spot the tree roots on your own, but fast-growing trees and high water bills may indicate tree root intrusion.
Do you have discolored water or rust-colored flakes coming out of your tap? Your pipes may be corroded. Pipe corrosion is common for homes that use galvanized steel piping. Sewage produces hydrogen sulfide gas, which oxidizes within the sewer piping. Then, sulfuric acid weakens the pipes until they crack.
If your toilet is frequently clogged or your showers and tubs are draining slowly, you may have a blockage in your sewer line. Hair, debris, grease, or even soap and shampoo buildup can clog your sewer line. Tree root infiltration can also cause sewer line blockages. These blockages can be removed with help from a plumbing contractor with hydro jetting equipment.
Over time, the soil surrounding your sewer line piping will shift. Heavy rain, erosion, temperature, and moisture level changes usually cause the shift. Shifting soil can bend or misalign your piping — or even uproot tree roots that could crack your pipes. Soil may also enter the pipes and form blockages.

Thank you, Dekota, and thank you Blanton's. Dekota was awesome! He walked through everything with me. I feel smarter, but not ready to be a plumber yet! Thank you for coming out the same day and giving me a fair price! I'll be requesting him for any future jobs! Cheryl D.
Nick and Jacob were awesome! They went above and beyond fixing our piping. Both were very knowledgeable about their job and kept us updated on what they were doing and explained to us. If we could give more stars we most definitely would. I highly recommend Blanton’s for plumbing and will be using them for electrical as well because of their quality of work. Dayna W.
