What Are Common Sewer Line Issues?

Sewer line installation is one of the most important wet utilities, as it carries wastewater away from homes and businesses and into the municipal sewer system. 

Some of the most common issues that homeowners may encounter with sewer line installation include the following:

• Corrosion Pipes: This can lead to blockages, backups, and other problems that can be both inconvenient and unsanitary.  
• Blockages: These can cause water to back up into the home, leading to unpleasant odors, flooding, and even potential health hazards.  
• Tree root intrusion: Tree roots are attracted to the moisture and nutrients found in sewer lines, and can penetrate even small cracks or openings in the pipes. This can cause blockages, backups, and even complete pipe collapse if left untreated.  

What Are Common Gas Line Issues?

Gas line installation provides homes and businesses with a reliable source of energy for heating, cooking, and other purposes. However, like any other type of infrastructure, gas lines can become damaged or compromised over time. 

Common gas line problems include:  

• Cracked seals: These can cause gas leaks and potentially dangerous situations if left untreated.  
• Corroded connectors or joints: Over time, this can cause the metal components of the gas lines to corrode and weaken, leading to leaks and other issues.  
• Wrongly-sized fittings: Matching the right size fittings with the right size pipe is crucial for maintaining proper gas flow and preventing leaks.
