A broken sewer line can lead to costly problems in your Atlanta-area home. Knowing the signs that you have one can help you prevent further damage, keeping costs to a minimum.
It’s not called a sewer line for nothing. It’s where all of your plumbing exits. So if there’s a crack or break, you’ll smell a foul, musky odor.
Have you noticed any indentations in your front lawn? If the sewer line bursts, water may be gushing out and softening the soil, which warps your lawn.
Got water backing up in your toilet and bathtub? You’ve tried to unclog them, but nothing is working.
A clog or break in the sewer line may be the issue instead. Your home’s drains all lead to the main sewer line. So if there’s a blockage there, then the water could easily back up each drain and into your home.
If your sinks, tubs, or toilets are draining slower than usual, it might be more than a simple clog. Additionally, gurgling noises coming from your drains can indicate trapped air caused by a blockage or break in the sewer line.
While recesses in your lawn are one sign, unusually lush and green patches of grass can also indicate a sewer line break. The leaking sewage acts as a fertilizer, causing the grass above the break to grow more rapidly than the surrounding areas.
If you’ve noticed any of these 5 signs, you may have a sewer line break. But the only way to really know is to have professional plumbers inspect your sewer line via video inspection.
