Why Do Sewer Pipes Fail?
Sewer pipes over time fail due to multiple factors. Old materials, proximity to trees and differed maintenance including no sewer scopes, allow pipes to fail. A devastating back-up can seem "out of the blue" without a significant warning sign. Because warning signs are often hidden, sewer scopes can be an inexpensive "insurance policy" against surprise failure. A failed sewer pipe can result in thousands of dollars paid out for sewer replacement, home remodel and personal property damage.
- Sewer pipes naturally deteriorate over time.
- Damage can be caused by construction trades.
- Shoddy or improperly installed sewer pipes fail.
