What you get from Speedy Tech Services:
Spring often brings increased rainfall to the Lakeland, FL area, as well as thawing ground from winter’s freeze. The extra moisture can cause soil shifts, which may lead to pressure on sewer lines, causing cracks, blockages, or breaks. Depending on the severity of the damage, sewer line repairs or a full replacement may be necessary.
Common signs include slow drainage, sewage backups, foul odors coming from drains, or unusually lush patches of grass in your yard. If you notice these signs, it’s best to contact the Speedy Tech Services professionals for an inspection.
It depends on your specific policy. Some homeowner’s insurance plans may cover sewer line repairs due to sudden and accidental damage but may not cover root growth or gradual wear and tear. Check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
Yes, regular maintenance like scheduling professional inspections and keeping your drains clear of debris can prevent potential problems. Additionally, avoid planting trees or large shrubs near sewer lines to prevent root intrusion.
Not necessarily, but the demand for these services may increase during spring due to weather-related issues. Scheduling an inspection early in the season can help avoid delays and additional costs for your sewer line repair service.
The main culprit of a collapsed sewer line is typically tree roots. Tree roots naturally seek out water so they are highly attracted to all of the moisture that exists within your sewer line. Unfortunately, these tree roots can end up growing into the actual pipe itself, through the joints, and after decades of use, the tree roots degrade from the constant exposure to moisture. Eventually, the sewer line itself will weaken to the point of completely collapsing. If you are struggling with a collapsed sewer line, call Speedy Tech Services to help you replace it right away.

If you notice foul odors around your home and property, particularly around your drains and plumbing fixtures, you likely have an issue with your sewer line that will require professional attention as soon as possible.
Odd noises coming from your plumbing is often a sign that something is not right within your sewer line. If you hear gurgling noises coming from your kitchen or bathroom sinks, or when you fill up your tub with water to take a bath, you may have a clog or break in your sewer line that will require repair.
Random wet or soggy patches of grass within your yard generally indicate that your sewer line has a break in it and will need professional assistance from Speedy Tech Services immediately.
If most of your toilets, bathtubs, showers, and kitchen or bathroom sinks are all constantly clogging, there is likely an issue within your sewer line that is causing these consequences within your home’s plumbing system.
Arguably the worst symptom of a broken sewer line is all the sewage backup! When a severe clog is occurring in your sewer line, it can cause sewage backup in your drains. This is obviously not a very pleasant thing to deal with and the longer you wait to have it professionally repaired, the more extensive and expensive the repairs will be!
