5 Signs Your Sewer Line Needs To Be Replaced

Posted by admin - July 9, 2022 - Plumbing

As a homeowner, you might not know the signs your sewer line needs to be replaced. You are not the only homeowner who does not have the necessary information about sewer challenges and when their sewer needs to be replaced. Here are the signs the main sewer line needs to be replaced. 

1. Strange Odors

Any odor that is not typical coming from your drains is an indication that there might be a problem with the sewer line. There could be a gas leak, or the water might seep through the pipes’ cracks. In most cases, you will smell a foul odor, which might be unbearable in some instances. If you notice such an unusual scent, it would be best to call a professional as soon as possible. 

2. Slow Drains

If you suddenly notice that your drains are taking longer than usual to clear, it might be a sign of a blockage in the sewer line. The water might be draining slowly because it has nowhere else to go. You should consider calling a professional to help unblock the sewer line when this happens as soon as possible. The longer you wait, the more severe the problem might become.

3. Sewage Backup

One of the most apparent signs of a problem with your sewer line is sewage backup. If sewage is backing up into your house, there’s a blockage somewhere in the system. This is a critical situation that must be addressed right away. The sewage may cause damage to your property if you wait too long.

4. Foundation Issues

Another sign that there might be a problem with your sewer line is foundation issues. If you have cracks in your foundation, it shows that the sewer line is leaking. As soon as feasible, this critical issue must be addressed. If you wait too long, the damage may become irreversible.

5. Frequent Clogs

If you find yourself frequently dealing with clogged drains, it might be a sign that your sewer line needs to be replaced. When there are cracks or holes in the sewer line, it can cause debris and waste to build up, which will eventually lead to a clog. If you have tried everything to clear the clog and it keeps coming back, it might be time to replace the sewer line.

Conclusion

If you notice any of these signs, you must call a professional immediately. The sooner you address the problem, the minor damage it will cause. Trying to fix the problem on your own could make the situation worse. A professional will be able to assess the damage and determine the best course of action.
