Sewer Repair in Sherman, TX

Who Is Responsible for the Sewer Line?

Many property owners think the sewer line is the municipality’s responsibility. After all, you pay monthly sewer bills – right? Well, this is only partially true.

The local government is indeed typically accountable for the sewer main under public roads. However, the sewer line lateral (the portion of the sewer line on private property) is the respective property owner’s responsibility. This means sewer line cleaning, repair, and even a sewer line replacement for the sewer line lateral must be arranged by the property owner.

The Sewer Line DOES Need Cleaning

It might sound counter intuitive, but the sewer line does need to be cleaned every now and then. After all, it transports thousands of gallons of sewage and gunk, and a lot of it will stick to the pipes. Over time, the sewer line can become clogged and result in sewage backups and even sewage leaks.

Reviews

I had a stopped up toilet that Mr Rooter of Rockwall fixed for me. Eugene and team accomplished this quickly and cost effectively. They took time to clean up and replaced my supply lines at no extra cost. I highly recommend!

Mr. Johnson responded after hours on a holiday weekend and resolved my plumbing problems. He was efficient, professional and friendly. I highly recommend Mr. Eugene Johnson (Mr. Rooter Plumbing) for plumbing issues. I will call Mr. Rooter for any future plumbing needs.

Leslie Buie

Was able to get a visit same day to diagnose the issue with camera scope. Diggers start tomorrow or day after, very nice to get going on this ASAP! Master Plumber (Eugene) was awesome, and the owner (Rhett) was great to talk to in the phone from the start!

Matt Corcoran

I called Mr. Rooter this morning for our kitchen drain issue. They came out in the afternoon and fixed the problem! They were very kind and efficient. Fantastic to work with and will certainly call them again.

Anna Siddall

Installed all new waterlines in house effected by freeze. Received communication during the job and follow up call after completion. Technician even took video of repairs saving time and reassurance job completed correctly.

Koby McClung

Noticed my water consumption over the past months had suddenly gotten higher and couldn’t understand why. I called City of Denison and they couldn’t find any leaks, so I called Mr. Rooter. At first glance they didn’t find any either. Then we turned on our sprinklers. Lo and behold, one of our sprinkler heads was broken off and a stream of water shooting straight up into the air. Time to replace the 180° head. Thank you Matthew and Mr. Rooter problem solved. Water bill should be back to normal.

Though sewer line cleaning is typically scheduled on an as-needed basis, it’s always advisable to schedule it once every two to three years. If you notice MULTIPLE drains or sinks are draining slowly, making gurgling sounds, or backing up, then your sewer line probably needs to be cleaned. Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to schedule an appointment or request urgent assistance today.

Knowing When the Sewer Line Needs Repair

Proper care and routine maintenance like hydro jetting drain cleaning can be enough to keep your sewer line flowing seamlessly, but accidental damage is always a threat worth recognizing. Here are some red flags that indicate it might be time to arrange a plumbing repair in Sherman, TX:

  • Signs of clogging in MULTIPLE sinks, drains, or toilets.
  • Smell of sewage indoors and out in the yard.
  • Patches of overly lush and green vegetation.
  • Rancid puddles or soggy soil in the yard.
  • Pest and rodent infestation.

You don’t have to – and shouldn’t – wait through the weekend or holidays for emergency sewer repair as long as Mr. Rooter is around. Call or message us at any time of the day to get in touch.

Saying Goodbye to Ditches and Trenches

Traditionally, repairing or replacing the sewer line involved excavating the yard. Property owners who put time and energy into their manicured lawn would shudder at the thought. Nowadays, there are trenchless sewer repair and replacement options.

At Mr. Rooter, we employ pipe lining and pipe bursting methods to get the job done while minimizing digging. Typically, this work only needs one or two points of access.

In pipe lining, we insert into the damaged piping a flexible liner coated with a special resin. Once in place, we inflate the liner so it adheres to the interior walls of the old pipe. The result, when the resin cures, is a layer within the pipe that patches minor damage.

For more extensive or severe damage, we employ pipe bursting. This involves breaking the existing pipe while simultaneously installing a new one in its place in one fell swoop. This technique is efficient, minimally invasive, and ideal for upgrading to larger pipes or replacing failing systems.

Frequently Asked Question

At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Rockwall, we understand that you may have questions about our services or how your plumbing system works. Here are some common questions we have been asked:

Why is my faucet leaking? 

A leaking faucet is often due to worn-out washers, O-rings, or seals within the faucet assembly. While these issues can usually be fixed with simple repairs, ignoring them can lead to higher water bills and further damage over time.

How long do water heaters typically last? 

The average lifespan of a water heater is 8 to 12 years. Maintenance tasks like flushing your tank and checking the anode rod will help to extend its life.

What should I do if I smell some gas near my water heater? 

If you smell any gas near your water heater, it’s important to leave the area immediately and contact your emergency services and your gas company. Don't try to fix a gas leak on your own, because it can be extremely dangerous.

How do I know if my sump pump is working properly? 

To ensure your sump pump is functioning, test it by pouring some water into the sump pit. The pump should activate and remove the water. Regular maintenance checks, especially before rainy seasons, can prevent malfunctions when you need the pump most.

Are there any benefits to routine drain cleaning? 

Regular drain cleaning prevents clogs, reduces foul odors, and maintains the health of your plumbing system. It can also extend the lifespan of your pipes and help prevent unexpected plumbing emergencies.
