Sewer Line Repair in Shreveport, LA
The line from your house to the city main carries everything that leaves the house. In older Shreveport neighborhoods it's often cast iron or clay pipe that has been in the ground for decades.
Request a plumberWarning signs
Gurgling toilets, sewage smells in the yard, water rising in a tub or floor drain and patches of greener grass over the line.
Roots
Live oaks, pines and other big trees send roots into cracked joints, especially in older yards.
Clay soil
Soil that swells and shrinks can pull joints apart or create sags where waste collects.
Camera inspection
A camera run down the cleanout shows exactly where the damage is and how deep the line runs.
Repair choices
A spot repair handles one break. Lining or replacing the line deals with long runs of damaged pipe.
Cleanouts
A cleanout near the house gives plumbers access without pulling a toilet. Homes without one often get one added during a repair.
Heavy rain
When storms soak the ground, weak lines and city mains can back up. A backwater valve can protect homes with low drains.
Who owns the line
The line from the house to the main is usually the homeowner's responsibility, even under the sidewalk.
