Milwaukee Sewer Repair

Knowing what commonly causes sewer line issues can help in preventing and addressing them:

• Tree Root Infiltration: Tree roots naturally seek out moisture and can infiltrate sewer lines, causing blockages and breaks.
• Aging Pipes: Older sewer pipes made from clay or cast iron can deteriorate, leading to cracks and leaks.
• Blockages: Grease, hair, soap, and other debris can accumulate in the sewer line and cause significant blockages.
• Ground Shifts: Natural ground movements or construction activities can cause sewer lines to shift, leading to disconnections or breakages.
• Improper Installation: Poorly installed sewer lines may fail prematurely due to incorrect sloping or joint misalignment.
