Sewer Line Repair in Mississippi

What drives sewer line repair calls in Mississippi
Sewer backups
When: Heavy rain on older systems. What fails: Overloaded sewers back up into homes. What to do: Ask about a backwater valve if your home sits low.
Hurricane season: Storm surge and flooding on the coast affect sewer systems, septic tanks and slab homes.
Jackson, Meridian and Vicksburg have many older homes with iron waste piping that scales and cracks with age, and much of rural Mississippi relies on septic systems. Coastal homes are often elevated or on slabs.
