Top Reasons For Sewer Issues

Understanding the root causes of sewer line issues is crucial for effective repair and prevention. The top reasons for sewer repair in Portland include:
  • Tree Root Intrusion: Tree roots can infiltrate sewer pipes, causing blockages, cracks, or breaks that disrupt the flow of wastewater.
  • Pipe Corrosion: Over time, older sewer pipes made from materials like cast iron or clay can corrode, leading to leaks and structural deterioration.
  • Clogs and Blockages: The build-up of grease, debris, or foreign objects can result in severe clogs that impede the normal functioning of your sewer system.
  • Sewer Line Misalignment: Shifting soil, ground movement, or poor installation can cause misalignment of sewer pipes, leading to leaks and backups.
  • Aging Infrastructure: Aging sewer systems in older properties are more prone to problems, necessitating repairs or replacements.

Frequently Asked Questions: Sewer and Drain Repair

How Long Does Trenchless Sewer Repair Last?

Trenchless sewer repairs, such as pipe lining or pipe bursting, can offer durable and long-lasting solutions. The lifespan of trenchless repairs can vary depending on factors such as the pipe material, the quality of the installation, and the surrounding conditions. Generally, trenchless repairs are designed to last at least 50 years or more, which is comparable to traditional excavation repairs. However, with proper maintenance and care, trenchless repairs can often provide extended lifespans and reliable performance. 

How Long Does it Take to Repair Sewer Line?

The time required to repair a sewer line can vary depending on the extent of the damage, the accessibility of the pipe, and the specific repair method used. Simple repairs such as patching a small section of a sewer line may take a few hours to complete. However, more complex repairs or replacements that involve digging up and replacing a significant portion of the sewer line can take several days or even weeks, especially if the repairs involve navigating through difficult terrain or encountering other complications.

What Happens if You Don’t Fix a Clogged Sewer Pipe?

If a clogged sewer pipe is left untreated, it can lead to several problems, like backups and overflows, health hazards, and structural damage. It is essential to address clogged sewer pipes promptly to avoid these potential problems.

    Cornell Plumbing and Heating ANSWERED THE CALL! Our furnace crapped out in the winter, it was 20+ years old so we knew it was coming but put it off until … view more it died. We were freezing for less than a day before Cornell quickly responded to our request for an inspection to see if the furnace was fixable. The inspector was very thorough and helped us understand all of the issues with our dead furnace and quickly got us connected to Randy who came over in a matter of minutes to walk through the options. Randy was very very knowledgeable and so friendly. I never felt pressured when talking to him, he was very practical and honest about what would be the best bang for our buck, while ensuring we had a solid heater for decades to come. We were on the fence about installing central AC (our house was built in 1890) but the summers in Portland have gotten so tumultuous that every year for the past four years, we've shopped around for AC quotes but just couldn't afford to commit. Randy built a great package for us that added AC to our furnace for a price that was very reasonable, so, we did it! We have a two year old and a baby on the way and we are very very thankful to know we have cool summers ahead of us and warm winters to enjoy in the comfort of our home. It's been night and day with the new furnace compared to what we were working with before. I never knew how warm our home COULD have been, until we got our new furnace installed. Oddly enough, our neighbors furnace also died like a week later and he saw we had Cornell over and asked about our experience. We were very quick to highly recommend Cornell, and my neighbor also got a new furnace from them! Needless to say, it was a smooth, quick and satisfying experience, you know, as satisfying as it can be to have to suddenly invest in heating and cooling, which can be many tens of thousands of dollars... but with the right folks, and the right system, the experience can be a sort of blessing in disguise - which it was for us!
