Sewer Repair

Sewer repairs can be a mess. When sewer line repairs or underground pipe replacements are required, Royal Flush Plumbing has the knowledge to properly address sewer line problems.

Royal Flush Plumbing employs trenchless technology to replace sewer lines while causing the least amount of disruption to your yard, landscaping, driveway, and other aspects of your property. We offer sewer repairs that can effectively address your sewer concerns.

Why should I get my sewer system repaired quickly?



Everything that goes down a drain in every property in Adelaide travels down the sewer line into the city sewer systems. The main sewage line is where all of the drain lines connect. Intact sewer and water lines are essential to a clean and healthy community. A poorly functioning sewer system is a major issue that can disrupt the regular routine of a household. One of the main reasons you should never hesitate to schedule sewer repair services when you need them is to keep the problem from getting worse. A slightly displaced sewer line caused by shifting soil or tree roots can quickly become a collapsed line.

Protect Yourself From Health Dangers


Another benefit of prompt sewer pipeline repair is that it allows you to avoid problems that could be harmful to your health. Clogged drains, for example, can cause sewer backups and flooding. Bacteria and other microorganisms in stagnant water and wastewater can cause serious illness.

Improve Your Sewer System’s Performance


Prompt sewer services enable professionals to detect serious sewer issues. This way, even if you only intended to have the sewer line repaired, a plumber can replace it with a new and improved system. This replacement reduces the likelihood of clogs, backups, and blockages, which promote mold growth and foul odor.

Save Money


Prompt sewer pipeline repair keeps the sewer system from deteriorating to the point where mold and water damage occurs. Water damage and mold growth are major annoyances that can result in significant repair costs. Prompt repair allows plumbing experts to address such issues before they become too costly, ultimately saving you money.

Common Issues With Sewers


Blocked Sewer Lines

A sewer blockage can be caused by a variety of factors, including food, toilet paper, grease, hair, toys, and who knows what else. Clogs can also be caused by factors beyond your control, such as tree roots creeping into the sewer system.Sinks, toilets, and other fixtures drain slowly when the sewage line becomes clogged. While you are focused on getting the drains unclogged as soon as possible, it is vital to identify the root of the problem in the sewer pipes so that it does not happen again.

Invasive Tree Roots

Professionals have access to the late Tree or shrub roots enter the sewer line, snagging toilet paper and other foreign objects and obstructing or preventing water flow. Roots and caught materials combine to form large clogs that obstruct drainage. Tree roots gravitate toward the water, which homes sewer lines provide. It is critical to plant trees and shrubs with large root systems far enough away from the home’s sewer pipes.st tools and technology, which can make the drains unblocked more quickly and easily. This also allows them to identify the reason for the blockage to prevent future problems.

Sewage Gas Odor

The smell of sewer gas in or around your home or building is an indication that there is a crack somewhere in your sewer system. Except for vent stacks on your roof, which allow sewage to flow downhill, a sanitary sewer should be airtight everywhere. It is very important to keep your family away from sewer gas in the home because it can hurt their health and even kill them.


Bellied Pipes

A valley in the sewer pipe is formed when a section of the pipe sinks due to ground or soil conditions. This dip collects debris and waste, resulting in clogs. The bend itself disrupts water flow, making it difficult for wastewater to drain properly from the home and into city sewers.

Burst or Broken Pipes

Pipes that are cracked, burst, or collapsed as a result of shifting soil, frozen ground, settling, and other factors. Sewerage can also escape and contaminate the surrounding soil through holes in buried sewer pipes. It will also allows soil, pebbles, and tree roots to enter into the sewer pipe, causing obstructions that clog drainage in the home.

Corroded Pipes

Over time, deterioration or breaks, cause pipe blockages and thus restrict water flow. For the home’s sewer system to work right, the sewer pipes need to be replaced.


Old or Low-Quality Pipes

Existing pipes can deteriorate or corrode if they are made of inferior or outdated materials. Materials used for sewer pipes in the past were not as strong as those used today. If outdated sewer pipe materials are still in use, they should be replaced.

Types of Sewer Repair


The type of sewer repair is often determined by the problem your drain is facing, but you must be aware of different types of repairs to know what kind of solution is required for the problem you’re facing. Some of the most common repair types include the following.

Internal Pipe Coating


This type of repair includes spraying a coating inside of the sewer pipes to repair the small leakages and prevent them in the future. The layer is usually based on thick epoxy material, which maintains your pipe for years. Internal pipe coating is more cost-effective, but you must clean and dry the pipes entirely before applying the spray.

Traditional Drain Cleaning


Traditional drain cleaning method includes removing the old sewerage lines and pipes and replacing them with new ones. This type of repair can also involve removing the flooring and walls if you need to access the internal system to solve the problem. However, if you have your pipes in the exposed area, then this process can be really fast and quick. This process is a little noisy and messy, but worth it in the long term.

Pipe Bursting


Pipe bursting is one of the nightmares no one wants to deal with. However, if your pipe has an extensive damage instead of a few cracks, then the only option is to replace it with a new one. Also, you don’t require digging up the complete pipe to replace it, so the process is relatively more straightforward. Also, newly installed pipes will have a great life span of decades, so you need to worry about them bursting again.

Trenchless Repair


Trenchless drain system repair is one of the most convenient processes, but it doesn’t require digging up your lawn to restore pipelines. This process only involves detecting some access points using technologically advanced tools to ensure the best possible results. There is only minimal digging involved, and you also don’t need to be worried about property damage. This process is very effective and quite affordable as well.

Tips to Avoid Sewer Damage


Blocked or damaged sewers can happen at any time, but there are some safety measures you can adopt to maintain your sewer to avoid frequent issues with your drain system.

Avoid Grease and Fats

Grease, fats, and many other unsolvable food items cause damage to pipes which often results in sewer issues. You should never dump the grease and fats down the drain because they can start building up in sewer pipes, and you’ll get overflowing pipes or clogged drains.

Do Not Flush Everything

Be mindful of what you’re flushing in your toilet because most toiletries are not meant to be flushed down the toilets because they never break down and build up into the pipes. Also, if your items mention flushable on them, even then, you’re not allowed to flush them to maintain your sewerage system better.

Regular Inspection

The most efficient option for maintaining your sewer system long-term is to schedule regular inspections from professionals to ensure everything is working fine because sometimes there are some signs or issues that are not prominent and can also be inspected by the experts. Detecting the problem early saves you from major damage and also saves you a lot of extra costs.

I had issues with my toilet drain blocking up at my place of business, Royal Flush came out and saved the day on a Sunday morning before an event I had planned Later on in the evening. I had a chat to Matt about renovating the toilet and adding on an additional toilet and a new shower/bathroom and to my amazement he made this happen and I couldn’t be happier. Royal Flush, nit only provided the plumbing removal and install of this little project….
