Timely detection of sewer line issues can make a huge difference when it comes to sewer repair. While you may not like to think about what goes on in your sewer line, it is a good idea to know what may eventually cause trouble in your pipes. There are some common signs that indicate your sewer line is collapsed or deteriorating and needs repair or replacement. And, as experts in sewer repair for Crystal and the surrounding areas, we’d like to provide you with some of the warning signs that your sewer could use some TLC.
You know you might need sewer repair when…
1. You smell sewage marked by lingering sewer gas odor in and around your property.
2. There is a noticeable patch of extra lush green grass in your yard. The leaking sewage can actually function as a fertilizer causing its healthy, green appearance.
3. You notice flooding or water spots in the basement or foundation especially around the drains, usually accompanied by a foul odor.
4. You hear a loud gurgling noise coming from flow of water through pipes while using the shower or washing the dishes.
5. There is a sudden rise in the water bill compared to previous months indicating leakage and wastage of water.
6. Water is draining very slowly from the sinks, toilets and bathtubs.
7. There is noticeably decreased water pressure in the sink or shower, or varying water levels in your toilet bowl.
8. There are constant wastewater and sanitary sewer blockages and backups.
9. You notice new cracks in the foundation slab, under the foundation or in the yard.
10. There is foundation settlement or sinkholes.
And, these are just some of the signs your sewer could be giving you. And, if you do experience any of these issues, you should have your sewer inspected as soon as possible. It is extremely important to keep property drains and pipes clean and unclogged at all times. A clogged or damaged sewer line can have long-lasting effects on your home’s plumbing system if left unattended. Sometimes homeowners look for temporary solutions to resolve sewer line problems but it is important to have professionals address any sewer repair you need.
Sewer pipes can even wear out from old age. When corrosion sets in, the pipe starts to form leaks that will only continue to spread. Sewer repair is likely the only way to stop this corrosion from spreading further.
