If you have ever experienced a sewer line blockage, then you know how hectic it can get. Many things can cause a sewer to stop flowing, such as impacted soil or freezing ground. Also, the buildup of paper, grease, and other foreign waste can prevent proper flow in the pipe. Another common cause is root infiltration, where roots from a nearby shrub or tree enter the sewer line from a joint and expand to fill up the pipe with a hair-like root mass. If not addressed right away, these blockages can cause the pipeline to burst, break, or collapse. Such damage will require the replacement of the sewer line. Mangano Plumbing Sewer & Drain, Inc. is the expert team to call for sewer line replacement. Our Long Island plumbers not only have decades of experience repiping sewer lines but also tailor our service according to your needs and budget.

Signs That It’s Time for Sewer Line Replacement

​

Pinhole leaks or small cracks are easy to repair. However, when the damage is extensive—such as when the pipes have ruptured, collapsed, or disjointed—replacement is always the best option.

​

How can you tell when it’s time for a sewer line replacement? You might notice:

​

• Unexpected soggy patches or pools of water in your yard

• Healthier grass or vegetation around the sewer line

• Persistent sewage smells

• Old age, usually when the pipes are more than 50 years old

​

Pipes that have burst due to freezing also require a replacement. Whether you’ve noticed one of the telltale signs above or you suspect that a replacement is imminent due to the age of your pipes, call our Long Island sewer experts. We can provide you with a video line inspection to know for sure if a sewer line replacement is on the horizon.
