What Causes Sewer Line Clogs & Damage

When Glendale Heights residents contact us regarding sewer repair, we often have a good idea of the underlying issue based on the symptoms they describe. Common indicators such as slow-draining sinks, foul odors, and damp patches in the yard typically point to specific problems. Here are some of the primary causes of sewer clogs and breakdowns:

Tree Roots: Particularly prevalent in older properties, tree roots pose a significant threat to sewer lines. Their ability to penetrate almost any material means they frequently infiltrate sewer line walls, leading to clogs, backups, and ruptures.

Sediment & Rust Buildup: Water in your household contains various minerals, including calcium, copper, magnesium, sodium, iron, and zinc. Over time these minerals along with rust, can accumulate, corroding and weakening sewer linings and walls, potentially causing cracks or ruptures.

Ground Shifting or High Water Pressure: Both ground shifting and high water pressure can inflict serious damage on your home’s sewer line. Ground shifts, often triggered by adverse weather conditions saturating the soil, and elevated water pressure can lead to significant structural issues.
