Morganton Sewer Line Repair & Installation
Serving Lenoir, Hickory, and the Surrounding Areas
The sewer line plays an important part in the plumbing system of your residential or commercial property. This line is responsible for transporting wastewater from your household to either the municipal sewer system or your septic tank. These underground pipes are essential for maintaining sanitation and hygiene.
The sewer line plumbers at 5 Star Plumbing and Drain Services have a nuanced and detailed familiarity with the unique issues we deal with in Morganton and throughout the Piedmont area. Our region’s clay-rich soil can retain moisture and cause pipes to shift or crack. Weather shifts can cause ground movement that stresses sewer lines.
While the heavy clay soil is beneficial for agriculture, it poses specific risks for sewer infrastructure, including increased pressure on pipes and susceptibility to root intrusion from trees seeking moisture. Moreover, our region's freeze-thaw cycles can exacerbate these issues, causing pipes to expand and contract, which might lead to fractures or misalignments.

The Signs Your Sewer Line Is Damaged
Early detection helps to mitigate the scope of damage and the cost of the eventual repair work needed. Call us if you spot any of these red flags:
- Slow drains: If you notice that multiple drains in your home are emptying slowly, it could indicate either a blockage or damage in the main sewer line. This issue often leads to water accumulation.
- Foul odors: Unpleasant sewer smells coming from the drains or around your property are a clear sign of sewer line problems. These odors can signal leaks or breaks in the line, which allow sewage to escape, compromising your air quality and hygiene.
- Lush grass: We all love a nice, green lawn. However, unless you’re consciously watering more frequently, there might be a less-than-desirable cause. Sewage acts as a fertilizer, promoting rapid grass growth in affected areas. It looks great, but at a considerable cost.
- Frequent backups: Recurring sewage pump backups in your toilets or drains suggest a severe blockage or damage in the sewer line.
The Trenchless Sewer Option
Trenchless sewer repair is an innovative method that offers a modern solution to repairing damaged sewer lines without the need for extensive digging. This approach leverages advanced technology to address sewer line issues efficiently and effectively, minimizing disruption to your property.
Unlike traditional methods that require large trenches to access and repair sewer pipes, trenchless technology uses existing access points to perform repairs, significantly reducing the need for excavation. The process typically involves two main techniques--pipe bursting and pipe relining. Pipe bursting involves pulling a new pipe through the old one while simultaneously breaking apart the damaged pipe. This method allows for the replacement of severely damaged pipes without the hassle of traditional excavation.
On the other hand, pipe relining involves inserting a flexible tube coated with resin into the damaged pipe. Once in place, the tube is inflated and left to cure, forming a new, durable pipe within the old one. One of the primary benefits of trenchless sewer repair is its ability to preserve the landscape and structures on your property. By avoiding large-scale digging, homeowners can maintain their lawns, and businesses can reduce disruption to their operations. The minimized disruption and efficient repair process make trenchless sewer repair a preferred option for many property owners.
The sewer line plumbers from our Morganton office can offer further guidance on this process and how it might work for your specific property. Call (828) 501-9448 today.
