Signs of a Sewer Line Problem
Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Nevada County knows the sewer line is the most vital system in any home or commercial building to keep in working order. It protects each building and the people who occupy it from hazardous waste. Every home and business owner should know the signs that sewer line repair is needed. Knowing these signs is key to preventing damage to structural integrity and dangers to the health of those who live and work within those structures.
Sewer line repair may be necessary if the following signs are present at your home or business.
- A foul odor that smells like sewage is detectable anywhere inside or outside your property. You may have a drain clog or sewer line leak if you notice a strange, unpleasant odor.
- Several of your plumbing fixtures are slow to drain. If you notice that your drains are slow to empty, your sewer line will likely need repair. Water backup from blockages in your sewer line impacts all the drains connected to your plumbing system.
- Your water bill is unusually high. If you notice an increase in your monthly bill, your sewer line should be checked immediately for leaks. Prolonging the inspection can have hazardous consequences for your health and damage to your property.
- You hear gurgling noises coming from your sewer line or fixtures. Gurgling sounds indicate a drain clog and signal the need for professional blockage removal before it causes much bigger problems like leaks or pipe bursts.
- You notice wet spots or puddles outside your property without any apparent source. If this happens, you likely have a leak in your sewer line requiring immediate professional attention.

Prevention is Key
To prevent sewer line damage, scheduling routine inspections and maintenance for your plumbing and drain systems is ideal. If your property is surrounded by many large trees, more frequent inspections may be necessary to prevent damage from invasive tree roots. Routine drain cleaning is recommended to keep your sewer line working properly year-round.
Sewer lines collect debris and are prone to grimy buildup, which causes drain clogs. Clogs build pressure in the pipes, leading to leaks and breakdown of your fixtures. Sewer leaks are extremely dangerous to your health and can cause thousands of dollars to damage your property.
