Signs Your Sewer Line is Damaged

Protecting the Sewer Line

The portion of the sewer line on your property is generally your responsibility as a property owner. This responsibility includes maintenance, repairs, and any associated costs.

Periodic inspections of the sewer line are essential to identify issues like blockages, leaks, or deterioration. If problems are detected, repairs or replacements may be necessary to ensure proper functioning of the sewer line.

So, what are some signs of trouble? We’ll look at some examples now.

Signs of a Damaged or Faulty Sewer Line

With the sewer line installed feet underground, physically inspecting the pipes is impractical. Instead, you’ll have to look for symptoms of damage or fault. Some tell-tale signs of trouble include:

• Signs of drain blockages in multiple drains or plumbing fixtures. This includes slow drainage, gurgling noises, foul odors, and/or wastewater backups in multiple sinks, toilets, or bathtubs.
• Lush and green grass might be a dream, but not if it’s patchy. Patches of overly healthy-looking grass may indicate a sewage leak!
• On the other hand, a sewage leak can also result in sinkholes or depressions in your yard.
• Finally, watch out for pest and rodent infestations. These unwanted guests often come along after sewer line damage.

If you notice any of these signs, then explore them as soon as possible. If you prefer to hire a licensed plumber, then call Mr. Rooter Plumbing to get started.
