Signs You Need Us to Repair Your Sewer Line
We strongly recommend that all homeowners pay close attention to the operation of their plumbing systems. Often, minor annoyances can indicate significant problems that require repair before they get worse. Fortunately, by monitoring the performance of your plumbing, most issues that are caught early can be easily resolved.
If you notice any of these issues, we recommend scheduling a service right away:
- Slow Drainage: Slow drainage from one drain can indicate a minor clog, whereas slow drainage from multiple drains can indicate a more significant blockage.
- Leaks: Pooling water or water dripping from ceilings or down walls can indicate broken pipes, failed connections, and other problems.
- Noxious Odors: Noxious odors occur as sewage decomposes in the pipes. It’s a sign that the pipes aren’t draining properly.
- Lush Landscaping: Lush spots in the landscape often indicate excessive water being fed to the lawn via cracks in the sewage line.
- Frequent Backups: Sewage backups into the tub, sinks, or toilets should always be promptly investigated as these can indicate a significant clog or broken pipe.
- Gurgling Sounds: Gurgling sounds occur when air gets trapped within pipes. This happens due to insufficient flow through the pipe, which is often caused by a blockage, deformity, or broken pipe.

What causes a sewer line to clog?
There are a variety of reasons your sewer line can clog, including:
- Tree Root Intrusion: Since roots always try to find moisture, they’ll break through small cracks in your pipes to reach the inside of your sewer line, causing blockages.
- Buildup of Hair: When a large amount of hair goes down the drain, it can clump together and become a larger obstruction as other debris becomes trapped within it.
- Flushing Unrecommended Items: If you flush anything but toilet paper down your toilet, that can lead to clogs within your sewer line.
- Grease: When kitchen grease is poured down your pipes, it congeals and hardens, which can lead to a stubborn blockage in your sewer line.
- Food Waste: Certain foods, especially, like those that are fibrous or starchy, can add to preexisting clogs, making them worse, expanding as they decay.
- Soap Scum: Over time, buildup from soap can accumulate along the walls of your pipes, slowing drainage.
