Clearing a blockage
Grease, roots or debris can be cleared out so waste flows again, which is the right job when the pipe itself is sound.
Slow drains that gurgle, a sewage smell indoors or waste surfacing in the lowest tub or floor drain all lead back to the sewer line. The plumber you hire can clear it, repair it or replace it.
Read on for the three ways a line gets fixed, the size of the city’s wastewater system and a way to size up your own pipes by the year the house went up.
Grease, roots or debris can be cleared out so waste flows again, which is the right job when the pipe itself is sound.
A single cracked stretch may need just that stretch dealt with, which the plumber you hire can assess for you.
When damage runs along the whole pipe, the plumber you hire can replace the line from end to end instead.
The City of Hialeah’s wastewater system has 101 lift station service areas and about 338 miles of gravity sewer lines and laterals, with more than 6,900 manholes.
Which part of the line a job involves is something the plumber you hire can explain before the work starts.
Half of Hialeah’s homes date from 1975 or earlier, and 6 in 10 from before 1980. Whatever pipe was laid under those houses has been in the ground for decades, so its condition is a fair question.
The sewer line age checker starts from 1975 and shows the materials builders used in each era. Change it to your own home’s year to see what applies to your house.
A drain that keeps backing up can point to the sewer line. For the neighbouring work see drain cleaning and repiping, and the homepage lists every service.
