When to Repair a Sewer Line

As much as they are preventable, sewer damage can develop and affect your line at any given point. The issue at hand may not always be apparent, but here are some things that may indicate you need a drain repair.

These issues include:

  • Strange smells around your home
  • Drains that are not draining
  • Gurgling noises in your toilet
  • Mold on your walls
  • A very green lawn
  • An increase in pests
  • A toilet that backs up when you flush
  • Puddles and soft spots in your landscaping

These signs may indicate that there are sewer problems that need to be checked. Make it a point to call in professionals to inspect the problem and determine whether your line needs a sewer repair.

When to Replace a Sewer Line

Persistent drain issues may be indicative of an underlying sewer problem. There comes a point when you cannot solve your drain problems with simple drain cleaning or maintenance procedures. It is then that you will need a sewer replacement by professionals.

Some of the factors that warrant a replacement for your drain include:

  • Old age
  • Long-term problems
  • Persistent clogs
  • Water fixture malfunction
  • Damage by roots of big trees
  • Strange sounds

You will need a sewer camera inspection to determine what is happening in your sewer lateral before a drain replacement. If it is confirmed that a replacement is needed, the professionals will walk you through the available options.
