As sewer pipes age, they can rupture and leak into the ground around your building, causing possible damage.
Several factors determine how long sewer lines last, in addition to age, pipe materials, items flushed down the toilet, and the local environment, affecting the time frame for pipe failure.
Most sewer pipes will last at least 60 years, but older types made of hardened clay may fail earlier. Cast iron pipes have a usable life of up to 75 years and more, and PVC pipes can last up to 100 years.
Likewise, drain pipes can develop problems the longer they are in place. Minerals, grease, debris, soap, hair products and more can build up in your plumbing system over time, causing drains to run slowly or become clogged.
Corrosion from older metal pipes can cause your drains to clog, backing up water into the rest of the system and resulting in burst pipes.
Sewer and drain problems often mimic one another, stressing the importance of having an experienced plumber definitively locate the problem. Among the issues common to both are bad smells, backups, standing water inside tubs and showers and gurgling.
There are several issues that can indicate possible sewer problems.
Mold and mildew growth
Foundation cracks
Sewage backing up into the home
Noticeable wet spots on landscaping
Flies and other pests near pipes
Varying levels of toilet water
