Signs Your Sewer Line is in Need of Repair 

If you notice any of the following, but particularly multiple of the following signs and symptoms regarding your plumbing system, it is advised to call Rock Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning for professional assistance as soon as possible:

Foul Odors:

If you notice foul odors around your home and property, particularly around your drains and plumbing fixtures, you likely have an issue with your sewer line that will require professional attention as soon as possible.

Odd Noises:

Odd noises coming from your plumbing are often a sign that something is not right within your sewer line. If you hear gurgling noises coming from your kitchen or bathroom sinks, or when you fill up your tub with water to take a bath, you may have a clog or break in your sewer line that will require repair.

Wet Patches:

Random wet or soggy patches of grass within your yard generally indicate that your sewer line has a break in it and will need professional assistance from Rock Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning immediately.

Multiple Clogs:

If most of your toilets, bathtubs/showers, and kitchen or bathroom sinks are constantly clogging, there is likely an issue within your sewer line that is causing these consequences within your home’s plumbing system.

Sewage Backup:

Arguably, the worst symptom of a broken sewer line is all the sewage backup! When a severe clog occurs in your sewer line, it can cause sewage backup in your drains. This is obviously not a very pleasant thing to deal with, and the longer you wait to have it professionally repaired, the more extensive and expensive the repairs will be!

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Line Repair

Damage to your main sewer line can cause significant structural damage to your home and, if left untreated, can lead to cracks in your home’s foundation, a settled foundation, and/or even sinkholes (pools of septic waste). If you have a broken sewer line, call Rock Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning to have it repaired right away.

Can Toilet Paper Clog a Sewer Line?

Over time, toilet paper and other debris can clog up a sewer line as they get snagged on the tree roots that often infiltrate sewer lines. Flushing sanitary products, feminine hygiene products, facial tissues, paper towels, or even extra-thick toilet paper can severely clog up your sewer line over time. It is best to avoid flushing anything down your toilet other than toilet paper to avoid unnecessary sewer line clogs.

What Causes a Collapsed Sewer Line?

The main culprit of a collapsed sewer line is typically tree roots. Tree roots naturally seek out water so they are highly attracted to all of the moisture that exists within your sewer line. Unfortunately, these tree roots can end up growing into the actual pipe itself, through the joints, and after decades of use, the tree roots degrade from the constant exposure to moisture. Eventually, the sewer line itself will weaken to the point of completely collapsing. If you are struggling with a collapsed sewer line, call Rock Plumbing, Heating, & Air Conditioning to help you replace it right away.
