What Causes a Houston Main Line Stoppage?
Main line stoppages in Houston are always caused by an obstruction in your main line, and there are several main line obstructions we see over and over again:
Build-up in a Bellied Line in Houston:
Houston main sewer lines slope so that gravity carries your home’s wastewater to a public sanitation system. Sometimes this slope gets a belly, or dipped section of pipe from weight that puts pressure on the ground above were the main line is.
Broken or Deteriorating Cast Iron Pipes:
Before it became standard for Houston main sewer lines to be made out PVC, they were made out of cast iron that tied into a concrete main line before reaching the public sewer system. If your home was built before the 80s, its more than likely you have cast iron sewer lines.
Tree Roots Intrusion in Houston:
Tree roots are one of the biggest cause of broken and backed up sewer lines. While trees enhance any property, roots seek out the moisture rich nutrients found in the sewer pipes and cause breaks/severe damage to the line.
