Common Sewer Problems

It can be all too easy to take your sewer and plumbing systems for granted. These monster systems might seem like they can last forever. However, even the sturdiest pipes age and can corrode or degrade over time. With our years of experience, we have seen sewer challenges in hundreds of homes and can properly inspect, diagnose, and remedy even the toughest sewer issues.

The most common sewer challenges for homeowners include:

• Shifting ground
• Pipe corrosion
• Tree root intrusion
• Rust
• Sediment or debris buildup
• Uneven water pressure
• Poor installation or faulty materials

What Happens When Your Sewer Line Breaks?

There are many things homeowners can look for to determine if a sewer line has burst. A sewer line can break can remain hidden and have the potential to increase your water bill on top of property damage. Some signs are more obvious than others, but there are some telltale signs to look out for.

Signs of a Broken Sewer Line:

• Sewer Gas Odor - Whenever you notice a smell coming from your drain it is not a good sign. You should never have smells coming from a properly working drain. Typically it can mean you have a cracked drain pipe, but regardless of the odor don't hesitate to contact a professional immediately.
• Slow Drains - It is common for a slight blockage to cause a single plumbing fixture to drain slowly. If you notice you have more than one plumbing fixture in your home draining slowly, this is usually due to a broken sewer line.
• Clogs & Backups - One major sign of a broken sewer line is when your plumbing fixtures have major backups and begin spilling sewage onto your floors.
• Soggy Lawn - A broken sewer line can make your lawn very soggy and produce a very unpleasant foul smell. In some instances this can even lead to a sinkhole to form around the broken sewer line.

How Often Should Sewer Lines Be Cleaned?

To prevent costly and dangerous issues like sewage leaks and backups, it is recommended that sewer lines be cleaned once every 18 to 22 months. If your sewers act up more often, you’ll probably need them cleaned more frequently. Some signs your sewers need cleaning include multiple clogs, foul odors, and pools of water in your yard. If you notice these, give our San Diego plumbers a call. We use non-invasive technology to inspect the sewer lines and provide thorough cleaning.
