Warning Signs of Leaking Sewer Lines

/in /by

A damaged sewer line can cause severe damage to your home and property. Sewage is considered a health hazard and can adversely affect the health of those who contact it. At Pipeshark, we offer trenchless sewer repair in Bryn Mawr, PA that allows us to fix your damaged sewer pipes without digging up your compound. We share some warning signs to look out for below:

Clogs and Backups

Clogs and backups that affect one area in your house may be due to a clog in the pipe that services the specific fixture. However, if there is sewage back up once you flush the toilet, your main sewer line may be the problem. Drainage backups in more than one drain indicate a main sewer line issue since they are connected. You can contact our specialist to determine whether you require trenchless sewer replacement or a simple repair.

Slow Drains

If your drains are draining slowly, it could indicate a blockage in the pipes servicing the particular fixture. However, if more than one fixture is draining slowly, it could indicate a damaged sewer line. The damage could be caused by tree root intrusion, misaligned pipe connections, or cracks letting soil in. You can contact our plumbers for trenchless pipe lining to fix the damage to the pipe.

Bad Odor

A foul smell coming from your drains is a clear indication of a cracked drain pipe. A sanitary sewer is always airtight, except for vent stacks on your roof as they allow sewage to move downhill. We can provide you with reliable trenchless pipe repair to fix your broken drain.

Cracks in Your Foundation

A damaged drain pipe can cause significant structural damage to your house. If a sewer line remains broken for a long time, it may lead to cracks forming in your home’s foundation, a settled foundation, or sinkholes. You should contact our plumbers to conduct trenchless pipe replacement.
