Below, we present answers to frequently asked questions about residential sewer pipes. This will give you a better idea of what sewer services you'll likely benefit from most.

How Long Do Residential Sewer Lines Last?

Sewer line life expectancy can range from 30 to 40 years to more than a century. What applies to your sewer pipes will depend on several factors, including pipe materials, proximity to tree roots, and general upkeep and maintenance over the years.

Who's Responsible for a Damaged Sewer Line?

In many municipalities, sewer pipe line repair is the responsibility of the homeowner. This typically applies to the lateral pipes that go from the main sewer line to your home.

Does Insurance Cover Sewer Line Replacement or Repair?

Standard homeowner policies usually do not cover damage from general wear or other issues that go along with many years of sewer line use. Some insurance providers do; however, they offer supplemental coverage or endorsements that cover home damage due to sewer backups.

Check with your insurance company to see what's covered and offered before you have any serious sewer issues to deal with. You should also work with a reputable sewer repair company like Sewer Solutions NW for emergencies. Once we assess the problem, we’ll recommend whether you need a sewer line replacement or repair. We’ll also work closely with your insurance provider to help you get the compensation you need.

What Are the Options If a Sewer Line Needs Repair or Replacement?

At one time, traditional excavation was the only way to repair or replace sewer line pipes. Fortunately, newer technologies that include pipe lining and pipe bursting now give homeowners access to less disruptive repair and replacement techniques. Both of these options are offered by Sewer Solutions NW.
