Finding the problem
A sewer line can be clogged, cracked or have a section that has dropped. Call and describe what is happening, and the plumber you hire finds the cause and fixes it.
Sewer Line Repair in Concord
Slow drains throughout the house, sewage backing up, wet patches in the yard or a gurgle from a toilet can mean the sewer line has a problem. Call us, say what is happening, and the plumber you hire works out the cause and fixes it.
This page covers the choices, how Concord’s sewer system is laid out, and what the state license and permit rules say about sewer work.
Ways to deal with a failing sewer line
Cutting out roots
Sewer pipes can pick up roots from nearby trees. Removing them falls to the plumber. Call and describe the backups, and the plumber you hire takes it from there.
Repairing one section
If the damage is limited to one spot, only that stretch may need repair or replacement rather than the whole line. Tell us where you think the trouble is, and your plumber talks through the choices with you.
A new sewer line
When a line is broken in several places, a plumber may recommend replacing it. That is a bigger job, so a free estimate comes first.
The Concord sewer system
Concord’s sewer system dates from the early 1900s and now has over 609 miles of pipe and 22 pump stations. A city crew repairs mains and manholes.
Wastewater from the system is treated at the Rocky River Regional and Muddy Creek plants.
Licenses and permits for sewer work
The State Board has a restricted plumbing license for exterior building sewer piping, which can cover work on a yard sewer line. North Carolina law calls for permits when plumbing is installed, extended or generally repaired, and in Concord the county office handles them.
Your house and its sewer pipe
Concord’s housing is split down the middle at 1997, with half of the homes built in or before that year. Pipe materials change from one era to the next, so the sewer line age checker asks for a build year.
The homepage has the full list of services. For drains that stay slow, the drain cleaning page is the place to look, and for new supply pipe it is the repiping page.
