How to Know When It’s Time for Drain Repair or Sewer Line Replacement

Oct 1, 2025 | Coupons/Specials

Most homeowners don’t think much about what’s happening beneath their floors and yards—until there’s a problem. Your home’s drains and sewer lines work hard every day to carry wastewater away safely and efficiently. But when those systems break down, the results can be messy, costly, and even hazardous to your health. At Lascko Services, we provide expert drain repair, sewer repiping, and burst pipe service to homeowners throughout Muskegon and West Michigan.

Now is a great time to address lingering plumbing issues. For a limited time, you can save $250 on professional drain services from Lascko Services. Whether you’re dealing with persistent clogs or an aging sewer system, our team is ready to help.

1. Signs You May Need Drain or Sewer Line Repair

Drain and sewer issues often start small—but can escalate quickly if ignored. Here are common signs that your home may need a professional inspection:

  • Frequent clogs: If you’re constantly plunging sinks, tubs, or toilets, there may be a deeper issue in the line.
  • Gurgling sounds: Noises coming from your drains can signal a blockage or venting problem.
  • Unpleasant odors: Foul smells inside or outside your home may indicate a break or blockage in your sewer line.
  • Slow drainage: A single slow drain might be a local issue, but if multiple drains are slow, it could be a system-wide problem.
  • Water pooling in the yard: Soggy spots in your lawn could mean a leaking or collapsed sewer pipe underground.

Early intervention can prevent severe damage and save thousands in repair costs.

2. Understanding the Causes of Drain and Sewer Problems

Several factors can lead to clogs, backups, and pipe failure:

  • Tree root intrusion: Roots seek moisture and can invade sewer lines through small cracks.
  • Aging pipes: Older homes often have clay, cast iron, or galvanized steel pipes, which corrode and collapse over time.
  • Grease buildup: Pouring fats and oils down the kitchen sink leads to solid blockages.
  • Foreign objects: Flushing wipes, hygiene products, or excessive paper can clog lines.
  • Ground movement: Freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soil can crack or misalign pipes.

Lascko Services uses state-of-the-art tools—like sewer cameras and hydro jetting—to accurately locate and resolve these problems with minimal disruption.

3. Burst Pipe Repair: What You Need to Know

A burst pipe can cause extensive damage in minutes. Whether it’s due to freezing temperatures, corrosion, or water pressure issues, a pipe that fails can flood your home and destroy floors, drywall, and belongings.

If you suspect a burst pipe, shut off your water supply and call Lascko Services immediately. Our 24/7 emergency plumbing team in Muskegon responds quickly to mitigate damage and restore service. We’ll locate the break, isolate the damage, and make the necessary repairs or replacements efficiently.

4. When Is Sewer Line Repiping Necessary?

Not every drain issue can be resolved with a quick fix. In some cases—especially in older homes—a full or partial sewer line replacement is the most effective solution. Signs you may need sewer repiping include:

  • Repeated backups in multiple drains
  • Major cracks or bellies in your sewer line
  • Collapsed or severely corroded pipe material
  • Persistent foul odors or leakage in the yard

Our team will assess the condition of your sewer line using video inspection and discuss whether a spot repair or full repipe is right for your home. We prioritize cost-effective, long-term solutions with minimal impact on your yard or property.

5. Staying Ahead of Plumbing Emergencies

Drain and sewer issues rarely go away on their own. In fact, waiting often results in more expensive repairs and greater damage. That’s why proactive care is so important. Scheduling regular cleanings and inspections can extend the life of your plumbing system and catch issues before they spiral out of control.

Lascko Services offers preventive drain care packages to help you stay ahead of emergencies and enjoy peace of mind year-round.
