A sewer line is a pipe that carries waste and water away from your home. Many homeowners don't realize the extent of the damage that broken or clogged sewer lines cause, and usually only find out when (or if) they sell their house to a new owner. So it's very important to make sure this line stays in good working order for as long as possible.
There are numerous things that can contribute towards problems with your sewer line:
Tree roots will grow into, and around sewer lines, causing damage by breaking them up and blocking them off. This is more common than you might think! If you notice roots growing near your sewer line, we recommend having it checked.
Rodents, squirrels, and other animals can cause serious problems with your sewer line by digging through the line to create nests or dens. They can also cause serious damage by using the sewer system as a food source, which will clog up the line.
Older sewer lines are more prone to damage than new ones, simply because of their age. A sewer that was installed 30 years ago is likely at the end of its useful life, whereas one that was installed just 5 or 10 years ago has plenty of use left in it.
If you know about a problem with your sewer line, and haven't taken care of it yet, we strongly recommend that you do. However, if you're not sure if your line is broken or clogged, here are some signs that could indicate the problem:
This is probably one of the strongest indicators that there's a problem with your sewer line. If you notice a strong odor coming from your drains, especially near the toilet area, chances are something isn't right.
Another sign that there might be something wrong with your sewer line is frequent backup and clogging in the home's bathrooms and/or kitchen sinks and toilets. We don't recommend waiting to seek treatment for sewer line issues, because they can lead to some serious and expensive problems.
If you think there might be a problem with your sewer line, we recommend having it checked by a professional plumber as soon as possible. Typically, the only way to check for damage is to dig up the ground around the pipe and actually look at it. If you think you see signs of damage - such as cracks or blockages -we recommend calling us right away so we can address the issue for you.
