Signs You Need Sewer Service
Are you experiencing a lot of sewage backups, clogged pipes, or even suspiciously greener grass around parts of your lawn? How about foundation cracks?
Believe it or not, these could be signs of sewer trouble, and you don’t want to ignore them for long. Here, we’ll discuss the most common signs you need sewer service and offer our expert assistance.
Top Signs You Need Sewer Service
- Awful Sewage Smells
-
-
- It’s important to know that many of these signs could indicate other plumbing issues. However, if you experience trouble with sewage smells, the sewer itself may have a clog or obstruction. This odor might be horrible enough to attract the attention of your neighbors as well.
-
- Soggy Yard or Greener Grass
-
-
- Water leaks may help you water your grass, oddly enough, but it’s the worst possible way to do so. Keep an eye out for soggy soil, especially around the septic lines. That normally means there’s some type of leak or break.
-
- Slow Drains & Sewage Backups
-
-
- You might also notice slow drains and clogs more often. If you feel like you’re scrambling to address clogs all over your home, then you might have a more pervasive sewer problem. In even worse scenarios, you might come home to find sewage spilling over your toilets, sinks, and tubs. Then you know you have a sewer issue.
-
- Mold or Pest Problems
-
-
- Unattended water issues eventually contribute to mold, mildew, and other bacterial overgrowths. They also attract mice, rats, roaches, and an array of unwanted critters who enjoy standing water. Don’t forget that if you let mold hang around long, it will spread into floorboards, drywalls, ceilings, and all over the place. It’s a huge health impediment, too.
-
- Foundation Cracks
-
-
- Foundation cracks can occur whenever there’s water intrusion or shifting/sinking soil. Aside from runoff water, those cracks could result from a broken or leaky pipe somewhere. As we said before, check around the perimeter of your home to see if you have foundation cracks, soggy soil, or any other evidence of excess water accumulation. Your home’s service line could be the culprit.
