Facing an Issue?

Signs You May Have a Broken Sewer Pipe

A damaged sewer line rarely announces itself all at once. More often, you'll notice small warning signs first: a lingering sewer smell near the yard, a toilet that gurgles after flushing, or several drains backing up at the same time. These symptoms usually point to a crack, collapse, or root damaged section somewhere along the line between the house and the council sewer connection.

Left unattended, a cracked or collapsed sewer pipe can lead to sewage leaking into the yard, a sinkhole forming near the pipe run, or waste backing up through the lowest drain in the house. Older properties around Rothwell with earthenware or ceramic pipework are particularly prone to offset joints and root intrusion, especially where established trees sit close to the sewer.

Heavy rain can turn a minor fault into a major one, with stormwater finding its way into a compromised sewer and triggering a sudden overflow. If you're noticing any of these signs, it's worth getting a licensed sewer plumber out to inspect the line with a camera before the damage spreads any further.

    How Rothwell Plumbing & Drains Repairs Sewer Lines in Rothwell

    When you call Rothwell Plumbing & Drains for a sewer repair, we start with a CCTV drain inspection to locate the exact fault, whether it's a cracked joint, a collapsed section, a sunken belly, or roots that have broken through the pipe wall. This lets us recommend the most suitable, cost-effective repair method for your situation, often saving you from unnecessary excavation.

    • Trenchless sewer relining to restore the pipe wall from existing access points
    • Spot patch repairs for a single damaged joint, hole or offset connection
    • Root cutting and removal followed by a proper joint repair
    • Collapsed pipe replacement using targeted, under-slab or trench excavation
    • Boundary trap, inspection opening and sewer vent repairs

    We choose the least invasive method that still delivers a long-lasting result, and we explain your options in plain language before any work begins. Every sewer repair we complete throughout Rothwell, from ceramic pipe replacement to PVC upgrades, is backed by our lifetime workmanship guarantee.

      Sewer Repair FAQs

      Sewer problems can be confusing when you can't see what's happening underground. We've answered some of the questions we hear most often from Rothwell homeowners and business owners so you know what to expect.

      A handful of warning signs usually point to a broken sewer pipe: a persistent smell near the yard or under the house, gurgling noises from toilets or drains, slow-draining fixtures, or damp patches appearing on the lawn without an obvious cause. If several drains back up at once, it's often a sign the fault sits further down the main line rather than in a single fixture. A camera inspection remains the most reliable way to confirm what's happening and exactly where.
      Yes, tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer damage we come across, particularly in established suburbs with mature gardens. Roots are drawn to the moisture and nutrients inside a sewer pipe and will exploit any small crack or loose joint to get in. Once inside, they expand and can crack the pipe further or create a dense blockage that causes waste to back up. Cutting the roots out without repairing the entry point they used usually means they'll grow straight back.
      Not always. Where the pipe is structurally sound but has a crack, hole or leaking joint, we can often use a spot patch repair or full trenchless relining, both of which work through existing access points without disturbing the yard. Excavation is generally reserved for sections that have fully collapsed or dropped out of alignment. We always inspect with a camera first so we can recommend the least invasive option that still delivers a lasting result.
      Sewer pipes tend to collapse for a few reasons: ground movement, ageing or brittle pipe material like old earthenware, tree root intrusion weakening the pipe wall, or excessive load from vehicles or structures built over the line. Once a section collapses, it loses its slope and waste can no longer flow through properly, which leads to blockages and backups further along the system.
      When installed correctly on a suitable pipe, sewer relining creates a jointless, structurally strong lining inside the existing pipe that holds up well over the long term. It's particularly effective for older ceramic or earthenware sewer lines with multiple cracked joints, since it seals the entire length rather than just one spot. Not every pipe is suitable for relining, which is why we assess the condition of your sewer with a camera before recommending this method over full replacement.
      If sewage is backing up into your home, avoid using any taps, toilets or appliances that drain into the affected line until a plumber has assessed the situation. Turn off the water supply if you're able to, and keep family members and pets away from the affected area for hygiene reasons. Call a licensed sewer plumber straight away so the blockage or fault can be located and cleared before further backup or damage occurs.
