Lakewood Residents Ask – What Causes Sewer Line Damage?

Given that sewer line damage can cause such extensive and expensive damage, you might wonder what causes the sewer pipe to crack. Here are a few common causes for cracked or damaged sewer lines:

Lack of maintenance. Hair, grease, food, sanitary products and more can build up, leading to extra pressure and ultimately cracks.
Tree root intrusion.
Weather – frequent freezes and thaws can lead to cracking or bursting.
Aging pipes.
Digging in the wrong place.
Your house settling over time.
A backup of the city sewer line.
