How to Know When Your Sewer Line Needs Help
Most sewer problems start silently and become visible only once the damage is done. That’s why early detection—and the right tools—make all the difference. We start every sewer repair job with a professional camera inspection, allowing us to locate cracks, breaks, or root intrusion without tearing up your property unnecessarily.
Common warning signs of a sewer line issue include:
- Recurring drain clogs – If multiple drains back up at once, the problem may lie deeper than your interior plumbing.
- Foul odors – A persistent sewage smell near sinks, tubs, or outside can signal a leaking or broken main line.
- Wet patches in the yard – Unexplained soggy or sunken spots above your sewer route often mean a break underground.
