Damaged Sewer Lines
What are the signs?
-
Gurgling sounds coming from the toilet
-
Little to no water remaining in the toilet bowl
-
A bathtub that drains slowly or not at all
-
Sewage backing up into the toilet or tub
-
Foul odors in the basement or yard, indicating sewage may not be reaching the city sewer line—a potential health hazard
Why does this happen?
-
Lack of maintenance: Hair, grease, food waste, and sanitary products can build up, creating clogs, increasing pressure, and eventually causing cracks.
-
Tree root intrusion: Roots seek out moisture and can enter through tiny openings or joints, pushing their way in until the pipe splits.
-
Weather-related damage: Repeated ground freezing and thawing can stress sewer lines, leading to cracks or breaks.
-
Frozen pipes: A single severe freeze inside the line can block, crack, or completely burst a sewer pipe.
-
Earth movement: Earthquakes or nearby soil shifts can displace or damage sewer lines.
-
Aging infrastructure: Old or deteriorating pipes naturally weaken and fail over time.

Possible Solutions for a Broken Sewer Line
Brayton Plumbing uses advanced video camera inspection tools to locate and assess sewer line cracks and other damage. Every property and sewer system is unique, but based on the most common issues we encounter, our trenchless repair options may include:
​
Pipe Relining
Pipe relining creates a new pipe within your existing one. After thoroughly cleaning the sewer line, we insert a durable liner that hardens in place, sealing cracks and restoring the pipe to full function.
​
New Sewer Pipe
When appropriate, we can use hydraulic equipment to pull a new sewer pipe through the old, damaged line. As the new pipe is installed, the remnants of the old pipe are broken apart—providing a seamless, long-lasting replacement with minimal excavation.
​
Preventive Maintenance
We offer routine inspections and drain cleaning to help prevent grease, hair, and other debris from clogging or damaging your pipes. Regular maintenance can stop cracks before they form or catch problems early, when repairs are simpler and more affordable.
