Signs You Need Sewer Line Service

Many indicators of sewer line problems are similar to signs of other plumbing issues. However, there are a few ways you can know the issue has to do with your sewer line:

• Multiple drains are backed up: When there’s a clog in several drains throughout your home, it’s a sign that there might be a sewer line clog that you can’t fix with a simple drain cleaning. In these cases, hydro jetting is needed to clear a clog in a sewer line.

• Sewage-like odors coming from your drains: If your drains smell foul, you might have a damaged sewer line pipe that’s reached the end of its service life and needs to be replaced.

• Standing water and sewage odors in your yard: If your sewer line breaks, you’ll see puddles of sewage on your lawn.

• Using one plumbing fixture causes a backup in another: If, for example, your bathtub backs up when a toilet is flushed, you might be experiencing the effects of a tree root infiltration clogging your sewer line pipes.

• Mold and mildew underneath carpeting: Your sewer line runs under your lawn and through your home’s foundation, so it’s possible to see signs of a slab leak through excess moisture in your floors.

Sewer Line Repair vs. Replacement

When you call us, a Stuart Services plumber will arrive with the skills and equipment to restore your plumbing system with expert sewer line services. Repair is likely a viable solution for sewer line clogs or small leaks.

However, the age and condition of your piping can affect whether you need a repair or replacement, so we recommend choosing replacement if:

• Your piping was installed before 1960.

• Your sewer pipes are made of outdated materials, such as clay, cast iron, and Orangeburg pipes.

• Tree roots infiltrated your sewer pipes.

• Your sewer pipes burst from shifting or settling soil or pipe corrosion.
