New York’s sewer pipe system endures different faces of problems like the city they reside in. Most common sewer pipe problems are root intrusion crushed or disconnected pipes. All of which can be easily repaired, depending on the scale of damage the pipe has undergone. Root intrusion is simply when the roots of trees and plants grow into different points of the sewer pipe, causing a “root-hair clog” which causes small fractures throughout the pipe, weakening the sewer pipe and causing backups and blockage. A crushed sewer pipe is caused from improper backfill which can result in settlement and breaking of the pipes. Most are crushed by rocks. Also, leaking pipe joints cause soil to wash away and pipes then disconnect from lack of soil support. There is a simple solution for “broken pipe blues”!
