Understanding Sewer Line Lifespan & When to Replace

Sewer lines don’t last forever. Depending on the material, they can degrade over time:

1. Clay Pipes: 50–60 years
2. Cast Iron Pipes: 75–100 years
3. PVC Pipes: Over 100 years, but susceptible to damage

What Causes Sewer Line Deterioration?

Several factors can contribute to premature sewer line failure:

• Tree Root Intrusion – Roots can crack and block pipes, leading to leaks and backups.
• Soil Shifts & Earthquakes – Natural movements can misalign or break sewer lines.
• Corrosion & Wear – Older pipes deteriorate over time, leading to leaks and structural weaknesses.
• Heavy Traffic & Construction – Nearby excavation or heavy vehicles can put pressure on underground pipes, causing cracks or collapses.
• Poor Initial Installation – Subpar materials or improper installation can result in early failure.

Regular inspections help catch issues before they require costly repairs.
