\"\"Sewer line issues are particularly difficult to identify because the pipe is buried in your yard. Without an inspection from a professional plumber, you can’t easily see if and where your sewer line is leaking, clogged, or infiltrated by tree roots.<\/p>\n

Even if you can’t see the damage yourself, you can often notice the side effects of sewer line damage if you know what to look for.<\/p>\n

The plumbing<\/a> team at Peaden Air Conditioning, Plumbing & Electrical has compiled a list of common signs you need sewer line repair so you’ll know when to call us for service.<\/p>\n

1. Persistent Drain Clogs and Slow Drainage<\/h2>\n

There might be a deeper reason why pesky drains keep clogging, especially if you’re experiencing issues across multiple drains.<\/p>\n

Consult a plumber instead of buying bottle after bottle of drain cleaner to no avail. Professional sewer jetting<\/a> is the ultimate solution for clearing a sewer line clog<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Increased Pests in Your Yard<\/h2>\n

If rodents and insects are suddenly hanging around your yard<\/a>, you may have a sewer line leak.<\/p>\n

Pests are attracted to the smell and dampness of a broken sewer line and may find their way into your home through cracks in the pipe.<\/p>\n

3. Gurgling Toilets<\/h2>\n

Your toilets shouldn’t be making excessive noises when they’re not in use.<\/p>\n

Bubbling or gurgling toilets often appear before sewage backup, so you may be able to save your home from significant sewer waste damage if you act quickly.<\/p>\n

4. Noticeable Sewage Smells<\/h2>\n

Whether it’s an unmistakable sewage smell or a musty or mildewy odor, it won’t disappear anytime soon if you ignore it.<\/p>\n

A professional plumber can identify the source of the odor and repair the cracked pipe or leaking joints.<\/p>\n

5. Lush Patches on Your Lawn<\/h2>\n

Sewage can act as fertilizer for your grass if it’s seeping through the pipe and into the surrounding soil.<\/p>\n

These patches are one of the clearest signs that you have a sewer line issue and can help your plumber identify the exact location of the break.<\/p>\n
