Expert Side Sewer Repair Services
A damaged side sewer can create slow drainage, sewage odors, and even backups inside the home. These issues often start small but become more serious as the pipe deteriorates. Silverdale Plumbing provides professional side sewer repair throughout Kitsap County. We diagnose the problem, explain your repair options, and restore your sewer line so it operates safely and reliably.
A side sewer is the privately owned pipe that carries wastewater from your home to the public sewer main. Because it sits underground and is rarely inspected, problems can develop long before homeowners notice the first signs. Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools and proven repair methods to correct issues quickly and prevent them from returning.
Common Causes of Side Sewer Problems
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots naturally seek moisture and can enter sewer pipes through hairline cracks or loose joints. Once inside, they grow rapidly, causing blockages and structural damage.
Aging or Outdated Materials
Many older homes still have clay, concreted, Orangeburg, or thin-walled piping. These materials can warp, crack, collapse, or absorb moisture over time.
Ground Movement
Kitsap County’s varied soil types can shift during heavy rains or seasonal changes. This movement can offset joints or create dips in the line where wastewater collects.
Corrosion
Older metal pipes can rust from the inside out, leading to restricted flow and eventual pipe failure.
Improper Installation
Side sewers installed without proper slope, bedding, or structural support may fail prematurely.
Understanding the cause of the problem helps us determine the right repair strategy and prevent future issues.

When to Call for Side Sewer Repair
Many problems begin subtly and worsen over time. Contact us for an inspection if you experience any of the following:
Repeated Drain Backups
More than one clogged fixture suggests a deeper problem in the main sewer line.
Slow Drainage Throughout the Home
Slow drains in multiple rooms often indicate structural or root issues in the side sewer.
Gurgling Sounds
Air trapped in the sewer line causes toilets and drains to gurgle during use.
Wet or Sunken Areas in the Yard
Unusual soil saturation or depressions can signal a leak underground.
Persistent Sewer Odors
Smells inside or outside the home almost always indicate a damaged or compromised sewer pipe.
Older Homes With Original Sewer Lines
Properties with vintage piping are more likely to experience failure as the material weakens.
Backups After Heavy Rain
Heavy rainfall can worsen existing cracks or joint issues, resulting in sudden backups.
Catching these problems early reduces the severity of the repair and helps avoid costly property damage.
