Clogged or broken sewer lines are another issue we have seen a couple times. More times then not the sewer lines are old and made out of cast iron and what tends to happen (if not deep enough) they tend to break from vehicles driving overhead and the ground shifting and settling. Roots also are a big problem for sewer lines as they will just grow and crack them. Then the issue becomes us digging up your yard to find your line and replacing the whole thing from your house to the street with high grade PVC. that can handle tons of force on top of it, inside of it and all around it.

Clogged drains and drain pipes are one thing. Sometimes copper pipes start to break down with Lime and scale deposits and it starts to make the hole where your water will pass through smaller and thinner. When this happens you will have sometimes high water pressure in some parts of the house but a smaller stream. Usually on the floor closest to the ruined pipe. When we run into these pipes there is no option to clean them. As they are old and have lots of build up of scale rust and deposits they need to be removed and replaced with new piping. If not the problem will continue. We usually inspect all pipes and work backwards to the problem and make sure they are clear from both sides of the issue that way it will prevent issues in the near future and us having to come back to replace another pipe. We do the job right the first time that is why you can count on the Plumbers of Erie pa to take care of your issues the right way.
