Sewer issues in your Vancouver home or business can cause significant inconvenience and, if ignored, lead to major repair costs. Left unresolved, sewer line damage may result in unpleasant smells, sluggish drains, and system backups. Recognizing what commonly causes these problems can help you act early and keep your plumbing in top shape.
Typical Causes of Sewer Line Damage
- Blocked Pipes and Drain Buildup – Accumulations of soap scum, oils, hair, or other materials can clog sewer lines, slowing drainage and increasing the risk of sewage backups.
- Pipe Deterioration from Soil Composition – Vancouver’s natural soil conditions may speed up corrosion, especially in ageing piping systems made from clay or cast iron.
- Fractured or Leaking Pipes – As pipes age, they can crack or fracture, allowing sewage to leak underground and weakening the surrounding structure.
- Soil Shifting and Ground Movement – Natural shifts in the soil from construction activity or traffic above ground can displace pipes or cause them to collapse.
- Invasive Tree Roots – Trees in areas like Coquitlam, Richmond, or West Vancouver often extend their roots into pipes searching for moisture, resulting in blockages and pipe damage.
- Poorly Maintained Septic Systems – Homes in North Vancouver and surrounding areas that rely on septic systems can experience sewer issues if maintenance is neglected.
- Construction or Landscaping Damage – Renovation projects, fence installations, or digging without proper utility marking can unintentionally harm underground sewer infrastructure.
