The installation of an overhead sewer system can impact the overall plumbing layout by requiring additional piping and connections to redirect wastewater to the elevated sewer line. Maintenance requirements may increase due to the complexity of the system and the need for periodic inspections to ensure proper functioning.

The most common causes of sewer line damage that may require repair include tree root intrusion, aging pipes, ground shifting, clogs from debris or grease buildup, and corrosion.
