- Tree roots can actually grow into or through the lines. When this happens, it can cause clogs in the water or sewer line and lead to back-ups inside your home.
- Certain types of weather can lead to serious problems. Heavy rainfalls and snow can saturate the ground. When this happens, it may cause the earth to shift from the weight of the soggy soil. This can lead to a shift in the sewer/water pipes, as well. Eventually, this may lead to a pipe rupture.
- Grease from your kitchen can clog the lines. When you pour greasy foods down your sink drain or garbage disposal, it can eventually build-up on the walls of the sewer/water lines and lead to blockages.
- Poor soil conditions can cause problems for the pipes themselves. When your home is built on corrosive soils, this soil can eventually eat through certain types of pipe materials.
