When a homeowner needed Sewer service in Lake Forest, Illinois, Cahill Plumbing was called to diagnose and resolve a sewer line issue that was preventing proper drainage. After locating the problem, our team excavated the affected area and discovered a broken section of sewer pipe that was restricting flow and creating the potential for future backups.
Broken sewer lines can occur for a variety of reasons, including aging pipes, shifting soil, root intrusion, or ground movement. In this case, the damaged section of pipe required excavation so the failed portion could be accessed and repaired correctly. Left unresolved, a broken sewer line can lead to recurring drainage problems, unpleasant odors, and potential property damage.
Our technicians carefully excavated the area around the damaged pipe and removed the broken section. A new section of sewer pipe was installed to restore proper flow through the system and ensure long-term reliability. Proper alignment and grading were verified during the repair process to help prevent future issues and maintain efficient wastewater drainage.
As part of the project, Cahill Plumbing also installed a new sewer cleanout. A cleanout provides a convenient access point for future sewer maintenance, inspections, drain cleaning, and troubleshooting. Having an accessible cleanout can save time and reduce costs if service is ever needed down the road.
Once the repair and cleanout installation were completed, the sewer system was tested to confirm proper operation. The homeowner now has a fully functioning sewer line and an improved access point that will make future maintenance easier and more efficient.
