The sewer lines leaving your home may be subject to leaking, especially if you live in a home built prior to the 1980s. When this unfortunate situation arises, the leaking attracts root growth, which further damages the overall system. Damage to these lines not only affects the structural integrity of your property, but can lead to structural problems in the house as well. The solution to this problem, according to Oahu’s expert local plumbers at A-1 Budget Plumbing in Kailua, HI, is a procedure called sewer line reroute.

What exactly does this reroute entail? Since it’s a pretty big job, the plumber will have to ensure the exact location of the leak, something which requires specialized camera equipment. If it is found that there are too many impediments—things like poor soil, tree roots, or the beginnings of damage to the home—a team of contractors will have to dig out the existing line, and then design a more practical and better direction for the piping to go. Finally, they install brand new pipes in a better configuration to ensure that problems do not arise again.

While this is certainly a larger scale project, it's very much a necessary one, considering the damage and inconvenience associated with slab leaks and leaking or corroded lines. As with many plumbing issues, the sooner the problem is taken care of, the better off your home will be. 

From the get go, however, you need a trustworthy crew to work on your property and to provide an honest appraisal. On Oahu, this means that you need the folks at A-1 Budget Plumbing on the case—not only will their team there aim to keep costs down, but they’ll be transparent and completely honest about all of your options.
