A fully functional sewer is crucial for the safety of your home and community. From preventing the spread of diseases to protecting the environment to controlling floods, sewers have a big job. But especially in older Salt Lake City communities, common issues keep sewer systems from doing their job.
If you suspect something is up with your sewer line, don’t wait to call. Our experts can determine which sewer service is necessary on your property:
Common issues like blockages, root intrusions, pipe collapse, and corrosion can damage your sewer line. These issues are especially common in older neighborhoods, with homes built in the 1970s or earlier. Luckily, sewer issues often leave clues that homeowners can watch for.

Homeowners are typically responsible for the sewer lateral, or the pipe that runs from the home to the city sewer connection. The city maintains the main sewer line under the street.
Because the line on your property is often your responsibility, it’s smart to have a plumbing professional determine where a problem originates. Big Brothers Home Services is experienced at helping Salt Lake City homeowners identify whether an issue is on their property or is part of the municipal system.
Many older homes still have clay or cast-iron sewer pipes, which were common decades ago. Over time, they can crack, corrode, or experience root intrusion. If your home is several decades old and the sewer line has never been inspected, we recommend having a local plumber assess the system to identify potential issues early.
The lifespan of a sewer line depends on the pipe material:
Many homes in the Salt Lake City area are approaching the expected lifespan of their original sewer lines. If your home is older, it may be worth having a plumber evaluate the system so you understand its condition.
Yes. Heavy rain or rapid snowmelt are common causes of sewer backups because they increase the pressure in sewer lines. If you notice slow drains or unusual plumbing problems after storms, it’s a good idea to have the system checked to catch any serious issues early.
Yes! Sewer line problems can delay home sales or lead to unexpected repair costs during the buying process. Most buyers request sewer evaluations during inspections. Having a plumber assess your sewer system beforehand can help identify potential issues and give buyers confidence.
Most standard homeowners’ insurance policies don’t cover sewer lines for normal wear and tear. However, some policies offer optional sewer line coverage.
If you suspect a sewer issue, a licensed plumber can help identify the problem and provide documentation that can be helpful when speaking with your insurance provider.
Toilets should only handle waste and toilet paper.
Avoid flushing:
These materials can accumulate in pipes, leading to sewer blockages.
Yes. Salt Lake City has many neighborhoods with older homes and mature trees, which can lead to root intrusion and aging pipe problems. Local plumbers familiar with the Salt Lake Valley often see these issues and can help homeowners address them before they get worse. Contact a plumber or sewer service company near you for an inspection.
