Sewer Repair In Bessemer, AL

Sewer line damage can occur for several reasons: tree roots infiltrating pipes, pipe corrosion, shifting soil, clogs from non-degradable items, collapsed pipes from construction activities, or freezing and thawing conditions in colder climates. Aging materials like clay or cast iron are also a common culprit and an inevitable reason for your sewer line crisis.

Sewer line repairs can be done in a couple of ways. The traditional method involves digging up the old pipe and replacing it, but there are also trenchless options like pipe relining or pipe bursting, which cause less disruption and are less messy. With these methods, a new liner is inserted into the existing pipe, or a new pipe is pulled through the old one without digging up your yard. Mr. Drippy is a licensed NuFlow Trenchless Pipelining contractor, a leading pipe relining method.

Standard homeowners insurance generally does not cover sewer line repairs unless the damage results from a sudden and accidental event, such as a burst pipe. Some insurers offer additional coverage for sewer line issues, so it’s best to check with your provider for details.

In many cases, a full sewer line replacement isn’t necessary, especially if the damage is localized. Small cracks, clogs, or sections of pipe may be repaired. However, if the sewer line is old or severely damaged, replacement might be the most effective long-term solution. At Mr. Drippy, we provide comprehensive inspection and recommendation so you can get the most suited service for your needs.

If you’re noticing multiple drains getting clogged, sewage backing up, or bad smells coming from your plumbing, your sewer line might be blocked or broken. Also, keep an eye out for wet spots or unusually lush patches of grass in your yard—those could be signs of a leak or a busted pipe that needs to be checked by a pro.
