Maintaining your sewer line and preventing sewer-related problems is essential in homeownership. A damaged sewer line can lead to multiple issues, including damage to your home and property, as well as your health. The following are a few key signs that your sewer line may need to be repaired, or that you may need to have a new line installed.
If you notice that multiple drains in your home are slow or clogged at the same time, it could be a sign of a blockage in your sewer line. You may also hear gurgling or other strange noises in response to the slowed draining.
If you notice sewage coming up through your drains or toilet, this poses a serious health hazard that needs to be promptly taken care of by a professional plumber.
You have an idea of what your household's monthly water usage is, and what the average cost is. With a leaking or burst sewer pipe, you will see an increase in your water bill.
Seeing strange puddles or wet spots in your yard can indicate that your sewer line has burst. Leaking sewer lines can also create foul odors to permeate your property, which are distinct and unavoidable. Mildew and mold can also grow on your property's exterior, or in your basement, with the excess water lingering.
Pests and wild animals are drawn to the scent of sewage, including flies, roaches, and rats. Their appearance can lead to an infestation in your home, creating additional issues.
Ignoring warning signs of a damaged sewer line can lead to more significant problems down the road, including insect infestations and health concerns.
