Preventative measures are key to helping homeowners avoid unwanted sewer issues. Chesterfield Service can help with sewer line inspections which can discover the present condition of your sewer line. If a problem is found, you can trust us to perform expert sewer repair services.
Does My Sewer Line Have an Issue?
If you know what to look for, you may be able to stop a sewer line issue from growing worse. By scheduling a sewer line cleaning from Chesterfield Service, they can break up the sewer line clogs before the pipe bursts.
Here are the most common sewer line issues:
- Slow Drains: Are your sink drains, toilets, tubs, and showers slow to drain? If you are experiencing these issues on multiple drains, it might be a sewer issue. Does flushing a toilet cause a sink or a tub to start backing up? You might want to call in an expert to see if this is caused by a sewer line issue.
- Soggy Yard or Lush Grass: Does your front yard seem soggy, but it hasn’t rained lately? The excess moisture that appears when you’re not expecting it might be a sign of a sewer leak. Also, be on the lookout for random areas of lush grass in your yard. The extra moisture and sewage nutrients resulting from a sewage leak below might be the cause of these patches of luxurious lawn growth.
- Standing Water in the Basement: Most basements and crawl spaces have drains to get rid of unwanted moisture. When a sewer system is backed up due to clogs or a damaged line, drains on the bottom level of your home can back up. As a result, you may see puddles or standing water in your basement.
- Unpleasant Odors in the Home: A sewage smell in your home can have multiple causes. The most common causes of an unpleasant odor include a broken seal on a toilet, an overflow device malfunction at the kitchen sink, or an issue with the P trap in the laundry room. If bad smells are coming from drains, or you notice foul-smelling water overflowing in tubs and toilets, you are most likely dealing with a sewer problem.
What are the Causes of Sewer Line Problems?
Over time, sewer lines can develop problems at the most unexpected times. Due to the unpredictable nature of sewer line issues, it’s a great idea to schedule a sewer line inspection prior to buying a new home. Most home inspections don’t generally include a sewer inspection, but it’s a great idea to do so to reveal potential issues that might creep up in the future.
This advice is even more critical if you are purchasing an older home, especially ones with large or mature trees on the property. Mature trees do add beauty to a home, but their roots can wreak havoc with sewer lines.
Common causes of sewer issues include the following:
- Tree roots
- Foreign objects in the sewer pipe
- Pipes moved out of alignment by tree roots
- A downward sag or bent in the sewer pipe
