Plumbing Questions : Landscaping And Sewer Repairs

Plumbing is a very essential part of your home. It carries water into your home and also carries waste water away from your home. We have seen many issues lately with drains because of poorly placed landscaping. Before you or your landscaper plant trees, think about your plumbing and the cost of major sewer repairs. Last week, for example, in an older community in Orlando, a customer had a tree that was next to the sewer. Over the years it grew around the sewer with 24″ diameter roots and crushed it. It took two guys two days just to get their drain line partially fixed. They had to use chainsaws to get through the roots. This is just one case of poorly planted landscaping and it does not just effect sewer lines. This past weekend another customer had a broken irrigation main. This was due to poorly placed landscaping  the … Continued

Sewer Line Replacement / Replacing Terra Cotta Pipe

Have you had a main drain line back up in your Sanford FL  home and your plumber performed drain cleaning and pulled roots out and video inspected your drain line and found you have terra cotta pipe.

The pipe itself is very durable and the problems with terra cotta are the joints or the connections which are the weakest point on the pipe allowing the roots to penetrate into the plumbing system and breaking the line causing your drain to clog. Another problem with terra cotta pipe is that it is very short in length which means you have many connections. The more connections the more flex you have in the line so as the ground settles you get bellies in the sewer line causing tissue to build up and cause your drain to back up. If you have … Continued
