Sewer issues often start small: a slow drain here, a gurgling sound there. But underground, the real problem may be much more serious.

This is a sewer pipe we recently removed during a service call — completely split, corroded, and no longer functioning.

What Caused the Damage?

Over time, cast-iron pipes can:

• Corrode from the inside

• Crack under soil pressure

• Suffer root intrusion

• Eventually collapse

The pipe in the photo had multiple fractures along its length. Wastewater was leaking into the soil, and the customer experienced constant backups and strong odors.

How We Repaired It

Our team at Pacific Plumbing Team performed:

1. Full camera inspection

2. Precise location of the damaged section

3. Removal of the collapsed cast-iron pipe

4. Installation of a new, durable sewer line

5. Testing to ensure proper flow and no leaks

The repair was completed same day, restoring safe and reliable drainage for the home.

Signs Your Sewer Line May Be Failing

• Repeated drain clogs

• Sewer smell in bathrooms or the yard

• Toilets gurgling or bubbling

• Water backing up in tubs or showers

• Wet or soft ground outdoors

If you notice even one of these, it’s time for a professional inspection.

Reliable. Fast. Done Right.

Persistent sewer smell in a bathroom is more than just an inconvenience — it’s usually a sign of a hidden plumbing issue. During this inspection, our team uncovered a damaged cast-iron drain line inside the wall. The pipe had deteriorated to the point of cracking, allowing sewer gases to escape and moisture to seep into the framing.

What We Found

• Strong sewer odor reported in the bathroom

• Wall opened for inspection

• Cast-iron drain line visibly cracked and corroded

• Moisture marks on wood framing

• Risk of further leaks and structural damage if left unaddressed

Our Solution

Pacific Plumbing Team will:

• Remove the broken section of pipe

• Replace with new, long-lasting, code-approved material

• Seal connections to eliminate odor

• Inspect surrounding lines for any additional damage

• Restore the area once repairs are complete

If you notice unusual smells, slow drains, or moisture around walls or floors, don’t wait — hidden pipe failures can worsen quickly.
