The sewer line is the pipe that connects your house’s plumbing system to the public sewer. Buried underground, this pipe carries all of the wastewater (and waste) away from your house, so it can be cleaned and treated in a public sewage system in Reno (or your closest city in Nevada). If your sewer line doesn’t work properly, you may find yourself with unwanted flooding or repellent odors in your backyard. That’s when it’s time to call in a plumber for sewer line repair or replacement in Reno, NV.

Sewer lines last longer than you might expect if there are no major problems with them. For example, a sewer line made from cast iron will likely last 75 to 100 years. PVC pipes will last even longer with 100 year life spans being typical. Older types of sewer lines, like those made of clay, are more likely to degrade by the time they are 60 years old. It’s important to replace your sewer line by the end of its lifespan, so you don’t end up with a busted pipe in your backyard.
There are many other reasons you may need to replace your sewer line before the end of its typical lifespan. If you notice any of the following, give Nod’s Plumbing a call for sewer line replacement in Reno, NV:
