When Does Your Property’s Sewer Line Need to Be Replaced?

A property’s sewer line needs to be replaced when it shows significant signs of damage or when it can no longer function effectively.

 

Signs of Sewer Line Failure

  • Recurring blockages or sewage backup
  • Tree root infiltration that causes structural damage
  • Deterioration of sewer line materials from age
  • Strong foul odour in or around the property
  • Sewer line sagging (gurgling sounds from a toilet or drain may be a sign air is being trapped by built up waste in sagging sewer line)
  • Consistently soggy patches in your yard may mean there’s a leak in your sewer line where wastewater is seeping into the ground
  • Corrosion or rust in sewer line during inspection
  • Significant cracks, breaks, or collapses in the sewer line during inspection

Signs of an Outdated Sewer Line

Outdated materials (sewer lines made from outdated materials like clay, cast iron or Orangeburg are more prone to damage)

  • Clay sewer pipes are more susceptible to cracking under pressure or from movements in the ground, and are more prone to tree root infiltration. They are also more likely to be shifted out of alignment from in-ground shifting.

  • Cast iron pipes are prone to corroding and rusting over time which can lead to worse structural integrity and eventual sewer line failure. They are more susceptible to scale build up that can reduce the pipe’s diameter over time, making blockages more likely. However, in some cases, they can have a long lifespan of 50-100 years.

  • Orangeburg (or bituminous fibre pipe) sewers were common in the postwar housing boom in the 1940s and 1970s when the demand for cheap housing materials was at an all time high, but they are no longer installed today. This type of material deforms easily under pressure and will disintegrate over time. It is made from wood fibres and asbestos fibres saturated with coal tar. If you have burst Orangeburg sewer pipes, it’s better to get a sewer replacement instead of a repair.

These materials all share a risk for higher maintenance costs, increased risk of failure, and are incompatible with modern plumbing standards that favour more durable, corrosion-resistant, and flexible materials like PVC or HDPE (high-density polyethylene). 

 

If your property sewer line is made from clay or Orangeburg in particular, getting a sewer replacement is important for avoiding many of these common issues and ensuring you have an efficient modern sewer system.

Don't Wait: Upgrade a Failed or Outdated Sewer Line

Prevent Property Damage

Imagine this scenario happens—your deteriorating sewer line starts backing up, and suddenly you’ve got sewage seeping into your home. This isn’t just unpleasant; it leads to extensive water damage, mould growth, and even structural issues. Did you know that water damage from sewer backups can cost thousands of dollars to repair? Acting now can save you a massive headache and a hefty repair bill from damaged property.

Ensure Health and Safety

A broken sewer line isn’t just a nuisance—it’s a health hazard. When your sewer line breaks, bacteria and harmful pathogens can spread, putting everyone in your home at risk. Think about it: studies have shown that exposure to sewage can cause serious illnesses like gastrointestinal infections and hepatitis. Replacing that faulty line keeps your family safe and healthy.

Avoid Costly Emergencies

We all know how stressful and expensive emergency plumbing situations can be. Replacing your sewer line now helps you avoid those last-minute panics that often come with a significant cost. In fact, proactive maintenance and timely replacements are often much cheaper than emergency repairs. It’s a smart move for your wallet and your peace of mind.

Enhance System Efficiency

Old or damaged sewer lines disrupt your daily routine more than you might realise. Slow drains, frequent clogs, and unpleasant odours are just the start. By replacing your sewer line, you’re not just fixing a problem—you’re making your whole plumbing system more efficient. A new sewer line ensures everything flows smoothly, so you can get back to your daily life without those annoying disruptions.

Our Sewer Replacement Solutions

We provide sewer replacement installations that meet the compliance requirements of our customers and meet modern Australian plumbing standards. 

Selecting the appropriate sewer replacement method for your application will depend on various factors, including the condition of the sewer line, its type of materials, the extent of the damage, and the specific compliance and usage requirements of your property. Your plumber from All Day Plumbing will provide you with our recommended installation after proper assessment.

Trenchless Sewer Replacement

Trenchless sewer replacement (also called pipe relining) is a modern, minimally invasive technique that involves advanced methods such as pipe bursting or pipe lining. This approach is often preferred for:

Properties with Extensive Landscaping

When properties have well-maintained gardens, landscaping, or hardscaping features, trenchless methods preserve the aesthetics of the property.

Sewer Lines Under Structures

In cases where the sewer line runs under driveways, patios, buildings, or other structures, trenchless methods allow for replacement without the need to demolish these surfaces. This method is beneficial for urban areas with limited space and access.

Traditional Sewer Replacement

A conventional replacement involves digging a trench to expose the damaged sewer line, removing it, and installing a new one. This method, while more invasive, is sometimes necessary for certain situations:

Extensive Damage

If the sewer line is severely damaged or collapsed, the conventional approach might be the only viable option. This solution allows for the complete removal of the compromised pipe and the installation of a new, robust sewer line.

Complex Repairs

When there are multiple issues along the sewer line, such as extensive root intrusion, significant misalignment, or multiple breaks, conventional replacement provides comprehensive access to address all problems effectively.

Historic or Older Properties

In some cases, older properties may have sewer lines made from outdated materials that require complete replacement. 

Modern Sewer Line Materials

  • PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) pipes
  • MDPE (Medium-Density Polyethylene) pipes
  • GRP (Glass Reinforced Plastic) pipes

Our Sewer Replacement Installation Process

Here is a walkthrough of the process you can expect when you call our team for a sewer replacement installation:

Sewer Line Assessment

  • Inspection: Using advanced CCTV camera technology, we inspect the inside of your sewer line to identify the location and extent of the damage. We can even show you what this looks like from the images of our camera.
  • Condition Evaluation: We evaluate the material, age, and structural integrity of your existing sewer line. This helps us determine if a partial or complete replacement is needed.
  • Property Considerations: We take into account the layout of your property, including landscaping, hardscaping, and any structures that might be affected by excavation. We consult with relevant bodies to get holistic information  such as Before You Dig Australia to get this information and ensure compliance and prevent damage to surrounding infrastructure with all our work.
  • Consultation & Quote: We discuss our findings and our recommended plan of action with you, explaining the benefits and limitations of each method if multiple are available, ensuring that you are informed and have confidence in our solution for your sewer replacement requirements before you go forward with the service.

Sewer Line Replacement

  • Sewer Replacement: We carefully execute the sewer replacement with modern plumbing materials and with our process disclosed to you in our quote. We ensure quality workmanship, safety, compliance with all relevant standards and minimal disruption in every sewer replacement service.
  • Site Restoration: Our plumbers ensure that the site is restored to its original condition as much as possible, once the new sewer line is in place. This includes filling in any excavated areas, replanting grass or other vegetation, and repairing any disturbed landscaping. We also remove all construction debris, old piping, and any leftover materials from the site.
  • Inspection and Testing: We conduct a thorough inspection, including leak and flow testing. In this inspection, our licensed plumbers ensure that the new sewer line is performing correctly and meets all codes and  standards. We will also provide you with the documentation for your records, for future reference.
