Sewer And Sinkholes?

Did you know sewer problems are among the most common causes of sinkholes on private property? That’s right; sinkholes are often the result of sewer line issues! Not only will a leak in your line require repairs, but it may also allow for the conditions that lead to sinkholes. Fortunately, the sewer specialists here at Streamline Plumbing are your local sinkhole experts.

Please don’t wait to contact us for help resolving your sewer-related sinkhole problems! We’re always standing by to help.

How Do Sewer Problems Cause Sinkholes?

When water or sewage seeps into the ground surrounding your pipes, it causes underground erosion. Eventually, the erosion becomes so severe that underground pits form. Slowly but surely, this erosion results in cavities near the leak’s location. Once the cavities become large enough, the ground above them gives way, creating a fresh sinkhole on your nicely manicured lawn.

How Can Streamline Plumbing Help Prevent Sinkholes?

As sinkholes can directly result from a sewer leak, the best way to avoid them on your property is to have your lines inspected regularly.
Doing so allows us to catch sewer problems before they become the source of a massive sinkhole on your lawn.

We can thoroughly inspect your lines using drain line camera technology, revealing any existing damage. If we discover any during this process, we can stop most leaks before a sinkhole develops! After the inspection, we can begin to plan any repairs or replacements that we may need to perform on your sewage system.
