Sewer Line Issues To Keep Your Eyes Peeled For

If you’re concerned about the possibility of having problems with your sewer line, here are some of the main things to look for:

Constant, Consistent Drain Back Up

While liquid drain cleaner can provide a temporary fix for minor drainage issues, repeatedly using drain cleaner every time you have a backup, especially if you’re having them frequently, is a far cry from a long-term solution. If your drain is constantly draining slow or is often clogged, it could be a blockage or a break in your sewer pipe, perhaps even in the lowest parts of your home. In those cases, liquid drain cleaner simply isn’t the answer.

Problems With Multiple Fixtures

One of the clearest indicators that you have a problem with the main sewer line, rather than just an individual pipe is that you have more than one fixture backing up at a time. Whether it’s your kitchen sink and shower, or your bathroom sink and toilet, multiple backups are an almost sure sign of deeper issues below.

You Can Even See It In Your Yard Sewer lines don’t only affect fixtures inside your home. At times, you’ll even be able to see the effects of a sewer line backup in your yard.

Here are some things to keep on the lookout for:

• Indentations in your lawn

• Soggy patches of grass, especially when it hasn’t rained

Interestingly enough, you can also look for extremely fertile patches of grass. Sewage can act as a fertilizer, so sewage leaks could lead to extra lush and green grass in certain spots. Arise Plumbing Service Is Temple’s Go-To Source For Sewer Line Repair, Replacement, And Installation
