What Causes Sewer Line Damage?
Sewer line problems don’t happen overnight. Various factors can weaken or clog your sewer line over time, leading to issues that require professional attention. Common underlying causes of sewer line issues include:
- Sewer roots – Roots seek moisture and can enter sewer lines, causing blockages or pipe collapse.
- Aging and corroded pipes – Older clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg sewer lines naturally weaken, crack, and leak over time.
- Pipe shifting or collapse – Soil movement, foundation shifts, or extreme temperature changes can make your sewer line sag, crack, and break.
- Clogs from grease, waste, and debris – Flushing non-degradable items or pouring grease down drains can block your sewer line.
- Heavy rain and flooding – Excessive water can overwhelm your sewer line, leading to backups and damage.
If you suspect any of these issues, Arnold & Sons can diagnose and resolve the problem. Our technicians have the knowledge and equipment required to address these issues quickly.
Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair
Not sure if your sewer line needs professional attention? Watch for these warning signs:
- Unpleasant odors inside or outside – The smell of sewage in or around your home indicates a broken or leaking sewer pipe.
- Frequent sewer backups – If water backs up in multiple drains, the issue is likely deep in the sewer line.
- Slow draining fixtures – If sinks, tubs, and toilets drain slowly despite attempts to clear them, a sewer blockage may be restricting water flow.
- Lush green lawn patches or soggy areas – A sewer line leak can fertilize surrounding grass, making it appear exceptionally green or soggy in dry weather.
- Gurgling noises from drains or toilets – Bubbles or unusual noises when flushing could mean trapped air from a blocked sewer pipe.
- Mold and mildew growth on walls or ceilings – A leaking sewer pipe behind walls or under floors can lead to excess moisture, encouraging mold growth.

Who Is Responsible for Sewer Line Repair?
One of the most common questions homeowners have is whether they or the city are responsible for sewer line repairs. In most cases, homeowners are responsible for the portion of the sewer line that runs from their home to the main sewer connection at the street. This includes any repairs, blockages, or pipe damage that occur on private property.
The city or municipal authority is typically responsible for maintaining and repairing the main sewer lines beyond your property line. However, regulations vary by location. Some municipalities offer assistance programs for certain types of repairs.
If you’re unsure about your sewer line responsibilities, Arnold & Sons Plumbing can help you determine the next steps for repairs.
