Top 3 Causes of Highland Park Sewer Line Issues
Our local research indicates 3 primary areas of concern in residential Highland Park, Dallas plumbing systems:
- Advanced age of local sewer lines;
- Outdated sewer pipe materials like cast iron and clay; and
- Intrusive root systems of mature Live oak and Cedar elm trees.
Older homes, even older plumbing
The median Highland Park, TX home was built in 1966. While some homes are newer, half the homes in your neighborhood are over 60 years old.
The upside? Highland Park features a wide variety of some of Dallas’ most stunning historic homes. From Tudor to Spanish Colonial, English Cottage to Mediterranean, these gorgeous houses dot the landscape of Old Highland Park and the Katy Trail.
The downside? Most Dallas area homes built from 1940-1970 still have their original sewer systems intact. The materials used in home sewer lines during this era are severely outdated and prone to leaks, cracks, dips, sewer bellies and complete collapse.
Outdated sewer pipe materials
A majority of Highland Park, TX homes built between 1940-1970 have existing sewer lines made from 3 materials:
- Cast iron
- Clay (terracotta)
- Orangeburg
Each of these pipe materials is outdated based on installation date and its expected lifespan. Cast iron pipes last a maximum of 50 years, while clay and Orangeburg lines deteriorate and fail within 25-30 years of installation in Dallas-Fort Worth’s clay soil.
Mature tree root intrusions
Aging homes come with mature trees, and Highland Park is no exception. The gorgeous Cedar elm, Live oak and Red oak trees that line local properties are aesthetically pleasing, but they’re an underground nightmare for your buried sewer lines.
Cedar elms and oaks have some of America’s most aggressive root systems. They constantly seek out organic materials and nutrients to feed on — and they’re in rich abundance within your sewer pipes.
As your pipes age, they’re prone to corrosion, leaks and degradation. This makes it easy for tree roots to penetrate their exterior walls and form cracks and blockages throughout your sewer system.
Our plumbers frequently find complex, multiple root intrusions in Highland Park sewer lines.
4 Helpful Tips to Keep Your Sewer Pipes Clear
The good news: Most plumbing issues in Highland Park are easily mitigated (or avoided entirely) with a thoughtful home sewer maintenance routine.
Our Master Plumbers recommend that homeowners in the Park Cities do 4 things to keep their sewer lines clean, clear and healthy for as long as possible:
- Annual drain cleaning service. Our $299 Highland Park drain cleaning service includes a complimentary best-in-DFW camera inspection, specialized augering equipment, and a free bottle of Endure, our top-rated non-toxic drain cleaner for grease.
- Annual hydro jetting service. Benefit from the most powerful sewer cleaning technology available. Hydro jetting not only clears your sewer pipes of buildup, clogs and debris- it blasts corrosion and “sticking points” off the internal walls of your pipes.
- Biannual sewer camera inspection. Schedule a sewer line camera inspection every 2 years if your home’s sewer lines are over 25 years old. Mother’s expert sewer camera inspection are trusted for advanced camera equipment, live diagnostics, and fast, non-invasive process.
- Install a sewer line cleanout. The best entry point for a non-invasive sewer line camera inspection is your home’s sewer line cleanout. It increases the efficiency of inspections and repairs while greatly reducing mess and excavation costs.

What are the most common signs of cast iron sewer pipe failure in Dallas?
Key local indicators of underground cast iron pipe failure include:
- Frequent and recurring backups in multiple drains
- Consistently slow drains (especially in sinks, tubs, and toilets)
- Persistent sewage odors inside or outside your home
- Unusually lush green patches in your yard
- Unexplained cracks in your concrete slab foundatio
Is it better to repair or replace cast iron sewer pipes in Dallas?
The best course of action – repair or replacement – depends entirely on the extent and nature of the damage.
For isolated issues like a single crack or minor root intrusion, a spot repair or partial replacement might suffice.
Widespread deterioration, multiple collapses, significant channel rot throughout the system, or repeated, persistent problems require a full replacement or rerouting. This long-term solution provides peace of mind, especially given Dallas's challenging soil conditions.
How much does sewer line replacement cost?
The average main sewage line replacement project costs $5,000-$12,750. The high end of this price range is driven by labor costs in densely populated areas, the severity of pipe damage, and the length and buried depth of your affected sewer line.
How much sewer pipe damage can spot repairs fix?
Spot repairs are designed to fix localized breaks and intrusions that span 10 feet or less. Sewer line damage between 10 and 50 feet in length requires partial sewer line replacement, a more labor-intensive solution due to increased excavation and pipe replacement.
How long does sewer repair last?
The lifetime of your sewer repair depends entirely on installation quality, and the new pipe material used. We use Schedule 40 PVC for all sewer line repair and replacement projects — when properly installed, it easily lasts up to 100 years with regular maintenance.
