Warning Signs of Sewer Line Damage
Early detection not only helps avoid extensive damage but can also keep repair costs down. Knowing the signs that your sewer line needs our professional attention is key to preventing further damage.
Here are a few common indicators of sewer line problems:
- Slow draining sinks and tubs: If water is taking longer to drain, it could point towards a blockage in your sewer line.
- Strange noises from pipes: Unusual sounds where pipes run could indicate underlying issues.
- Foul odors: A persistent, unpleasant smell from drains or around your property can indicate a serious issue with your sewer line.
- Unusually green grass patches: If parts of your lawn are oddly lush or grow quickly, it might be due to a sewage leak enriching the soil.
- Visible cracks and sinkholes: Cracks in your home's foundation or unexpected sinkholes in the yard can be signs of a compromised sewer line.
- Frequent backups or overflows: Recurring sewage backups in your toilets or plumbing fixtures are red flags for sewer line damage.
- Increased pest activity: A surge in pests around your property can be linked to a broken sewer line, as they are attracted to the sewage.

Common Culprits Behind Clogged Drains & Sewers
A clogged drain can be more than just an inconvenience; it can disrupt your daily routine and even lead to significant plumbing issues. Knowing the common reasons for drain blockages can help prevent future clogs and maintain smooth, efficient plumbing in your home.
Causes of drain blockage can include:
- Hair accumulation: Hair is one of the most common culprits, especially in bathroom drains, where it can bind with grease and other substances.
- Food waste: Even with a garbage disposal fixture, certain types of food waste can clog kitchen drains, such as oils, fats, and coffee grounds.
- Soap scum: Over time, soap residue can accumulate and combine with minerals in water, leading to significant blockage.
- Foreign objects: Small objects accidentally dropped into the drain can become lodged, obstructing the flow of water.
- Mineral buildup: In areas with hard water, minerals can accumulate inside pipes, gradually narrowing them and causing blockages.
- Toilet paper overload: Excessive use of toilet paper can lead to clogs in toilet drains.
If you notice any problems with your sewer line or drains, act fast and call us. Delaying repairs can lead to more extensive damage and higher repair costs.
