FAQs
How can I tell if my home’s main sewer line is clogged or damaged?
Warning signs include frequent backups in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds when toilets are flushed, water pooling around floor drains, unexplained wet spots in the yard, or a strong sewage odor outside. If two or more drains act up at the same time, it usually points to a main line problem rather than an isolated branch line issue.
What are the most common causes of main line issues in Harrison?
Older clay or cast-iron pipes in many Harrison neighborhoods are susceptible to tree-root intrusion, corrosion, and shifting soil. Grease buildup from kitchen drains, flushing wipes or hygiene products, and seasonal freeze-thaw cycles that crack pipes are other leading causes. Heavy spring rains can also overload aging sewers, allowing debris to settle and create blockages.
What should I do if sewage starts backing up into my basement or fixtures?
Stop running water immediately, shut off any sump pumps that discharge into the sewer, and avoid using toilets. Then call Peace of Mind Plumbing’s 24/7 emergency line. Our technicians can usually arrive anywhere in Harrison within an hour, isolate the blockage to prevent further damage, and start cleanup. Waiting or continuing to use water can force contaminated waste deeper into your living space and drive up restoration costs.
How does Peace of Mind Plumbing diagnose main line problems without unnecessary digging?
We begin with a high-pressure water jet or mechanical auger to clear enough debris for a video camera inspection. The camera—equipped with a built-in locator—lets us see cracks, offsets, roots, or collapsed sections in real time. We mark the exact depth and location above ground, so repairs are limited to the failed section and your landscaping stays intact.
Will my entire yard have to be excavated, or do you offer trenchless repairs?
Whenever conditions allow, we recommend trenchless solutions such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. These methods require only two small access pits, preserve driveways and gardens, and can usually be completed the same day. If the pipe has completely collapsed or local code requires a full replacement, we explain why traditional excavation is necessary and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Am I responsible for the section of pipe under the street, or does the town cover that?
In Harrison, homeowners are responsible for the sewer lateral from the house to the connection at the municipal main, even if part of it extends under the sidewalk or roadway. The town maintains only the central sewer main. Peace of Mind Plumbing handles permitting and traffic control when street work is required and coordinates inspections with Harrison’s building department to make sure your repair meets local code.
