Signs of Sewer Line Problems

Are you experiencing sewer line problems? These issues often occur underground on your property. They are not immediately visible or identified as sewer line problems, but a few key signs will tell you that your sewer line has an underlying problem.

The first indication is slow drains or frequent clogs in your home or workplace. Sparatic clogs may indicate you need your drains cleaned out, but when these issues reoccur frequently, they suggest the problem may stem from the sewer line.

Another sign of sewer line trouble is gurgling noises from your drains and toilets. These plumbing utilities should not release excess gasses into your home or business; those noises indicate something is wrong with the plumbing below. If you notice strange gurgling noises from your drains or toilets, contact us, and we will get to the root of the problem.

Along with drain clogs, you may smell foul odors from drains or your lawn outdoors. These odors often come from places in the sewer line leaking or bursting. You may also notice damp or soggy spots in your yard - another indication of leaks in your sewer line. These foul odors are very unattractive in your home and business. They may cause nausea or even worse health conditions for you, your family, and your customers. Contact us immediately for sewer line repair service if you smell foul odors or notice unusual soggy spots in your yard.

A final sign of sewer line problems is an increase in pest activity. Your sewer line protects the outflow of waste from infestations of pests who feed and multiply there. What kind of pests proliferate around damaged sewer lines? Sewer flies are a significant sign of sewer line damage. Palmetto bugs also thrive in these kinds of conditions. Cockroaches are also a common pest that you will frequently find infesting where there is damage to a sewer line. To prevent further infestations and the significant health issues that ensue, you should contact us to inspect your sewer line if you notice a rise in pest activity.

Causes of Sewer Line Damage

There are many causes of sewer line damage, and several of these causes are not easily preventable. One of the most difficult to catch is when tree roots infiltrate the soil around the sewer line, putting undue stress on it and causing cracks or breaks. Since this happens underground, you may not notice it until too late. Shifting or settling soil causes similar issues, which can occur if you live near a sinkhole. Cracks and leaks also happen naturally to aging or deteriorating pipes. If you suspect you have problems with tree roots or shifting soil, or if you know your pipes are deteriorating, contact us for assistance in preventing further damage from your sewer line damage.

Some causes of sewer line damage are more preventable. Drain clogs from grease, debris, or foreign objects can damage the sewer line if they make it into it. Many stores and sites sell DIY products to help clear out slow drains and clogs. However, addressing some clogs without proper training may backfire on you. You may clear out your drain but push the problem further down the line, causing more expensive damage. Improper installation and maintenance can also cause sewer line damage. If you need sewer line work done, have certified, licensed plumbers do the job so it gets done right.
