Chesapeake Main Line Replacement Services

Few things can disrupt the comfort and functionality of a home like a failing main line (also known as a sewer line). This crucial component of your home's plumbing system is responsible for taking wastewater away from your property to the municipal sewage system (or a septic tank). When damaged, not only can it be a source of unpleasant smells and unsanitary conditions, but it can also lead to catastrophic events, such as a sewage backup into your home.

At Get Lit Electrical & Plumbing, we have been providing homeowners and commercial property owners in Chesapeake and throughout its surrounding communities with second-to-none electrical and plumbing services, including main line replacement, for years.

Signs Your Main Line Is Failing

Before a main line gives way completely, there are several telltale signs that it's struggling to function properly. If you notice one or more of these indicators, prompt action is crucial to prevent further damage:

• Slow Drainage – When multiple drains in your home are slow to empty, it's often a sign that your main sewer line has a partial blockage. This blockage could be due to a number of factors, such as tree roots infiltrating the line or a buildup of grease or non-flushable items, and it's a problem that should not be ignored.
• Foul Odors – An unexpected sewage smell in your home or your yard is a clear indication that something is amiss with your sewage system. Leaks or breaks in the sewer line can allow these smells to escape, indicating a necessity for repair.
• Water Backups – If water or sewage begins to back up into the lower drains in your home, like your basement or ground-level toilets or sinks, it's a clear sign that the main sewer line is obstructed. Backups like these require urgent attention to resolve.
• Lush Patches of Grass – An unusually green and lush patch of grass in your yard could be a sign that the vegetation is benefitting from the nutrient-rich moisture that's leaking from a cracked sewer line.
