Sewer and Gas Line Services

Natural gas is used in many Texas homes, but some homeowners may not be aware of the dangers natural gas can pose if not maintained properly. Though it may be a surprise to some, residential and commercial plumbers are actually the people who maintain, repair and install gas lines in your home! Similarly, with your sewer lines, it can be really easy to forget about them when they’re operating properly — but not when they cause a huge mess.

Most sewer and gas services are large projects that not all plumbers are willing to take on. If you need any kind of sewer or gas line services, find a plumber that’s willing to take on the job from inspection to potential repairs and even replacement. At Air Tech of Katy AC & Plumbing, no job is too big or too hard — give us a call to get started on your sewer or gas line service request.

When Do You Need Sewer Services?

Because our sewer lines are so far out of sight and mind, many homeowners don’t know there’s a problem until they’re dealing with a disaster, similar to leaks in your home’s foundation. If you know what to look for, however, you’ll be able to easily spot the early signs and possibly save yourself the stress and expense that comes with a major sewer problem. Signs that you need sewer services include:

• Slow draining
• Foul odors from drains or around the house
• Low water pressure
• Skyrocketing water bills
• Pools of septic water inside or outside the house
• Gurgling or bubbling in your pipes and toilet
• Unusually lush patches of grass

If you notice any of these signs, call on the professionals at Air Tech to pinpoint the issue and recommend the best course of action.

Sewer Blockage Causes

Many Katy homeowners are eager to learn what causes a sewer blockage or leak in order to prevent it from happening to their homes. Depending on the problem, there could be a wide range of sources in and out of your control. Like simple drain clogs, hair, toilet paper and grease buildup could cause a sewer blockage. In addition, pipe corrosion and shifting soil can cause a pipe to rupture or leak.

One preventable cause of sewer issues is tree root intrusion, of tree roots growing into the sewer line through a microleak and causing a significant blockage. Ask your Katy plumber what you can do to prevent sewer issues in the future.

Katy Sewer Line Inspections

One way our plumbers work to determine the type and severity of sewer problems is by conducting an inline camera inspection. During the inspection, our plumber will send a camera into your sewer lines to find the blockage or leak, pinpointing where the repair is needed. This not only minimizes the invasiveness of the repair — we often need to dig up landscaping — but also reduces the amount of time and money needed to complete the job.
