Even if there isn't yet a serious problem with your sewer line, it's best to deal with the most common warning signs as soon as they appear. A sewer line replacement can be extremely costly if it is not addressed. Fortunately, our professional plumbers are aware of the warning signs and are prepared to provide a quick sewer line repair solution. You may have a deteriorating, broken, or backed-up sewer line that needs to be repaired if you notice any of the following: 

 

Sewer Gas Odor 

Is there a strong sewer odor inside or outside your home? Sewer lines should be airtight (with the exception of a vent on the roof of your home), so strong sewage odors are a sure sign of a crack in your main sewer line. 

 

Indentation in Your Lawn 

A cracked or broken sewer main line will saturate your yard on a regular basis, causing ground soil to dissipate. Your lawn may indent or dip above where your sewer line runs as a result of this. 

 

Is your grass unusually green or do you have lush patches in your yard? 

This could be a sign of a leaking underground sewer line that needs to be repaired. Because sewage acts as a fertilizer for plants, a leak in your yard will result in lush, green patches. 

 

Have you noticed any new foundation cracks, settlement, or sinkholes recently? 

A sewer line backup can cause foundation problems, home settlement, and even sinkholes in extreme cases. Before the problem worsens, contact a sewer line repair plumber right away. 

 

Is there a puddle of septic waste in your yard? 

Septic wastewater pooling in your yard is a clear indication of a clogged or broken sewer mainline. A broken septic tank, clogged/backed-up sewer drain, or cracked sewer mainline could be the source of the problem, which would be directly beneath the pool of sewer water. 

 

Our plumbers will determine what needs to be fixed before beginning any work, so you'll know exactly what solution is best for your home's sewer line.
