Signs of an Emergency Sewer Backup
A functioning sewer system is critical for the health of any property and being able to recognize the signs of an emergency sewer backup is essential. Many homeowners don’t realize their sewer is backed up until it’s too late which can cost significant time and money. Identifying signs of sewer backups on your property early can help you avoid the most costly emergency repair issues. Here’s a guide to assist you in recognizing the signs that it might be time for a sewer line repair.
Unpleasant Smelling Standing Water
A malfunctioning sewer system will often leave pools of foul smelling water in different areas of your yard. Sewer Systems are designed to be airtight so this normally indicates a cracked pipe is allowing water and other debris to leak from your sewer line. The water can pool up in your yard and pose a health risk so a sewer line leak should be repaired as quickly as possible.
Plumbing Fixtures Clogged/Slow Draining
Multiple drains in your home can be clogged at the same time for an unexplained reason due to an emergency sewer system backup. The clogs can be difficult to explain because sewer backups often happen in places that are unreachable for the average homeowner.
Persistent issues with slow draining across multiple fixtures could also point to an emergency sewer backup problem that needs to be addressed.
Unwelcome Pests
Rodents and other unwanted insects can find shelter in broken sewer lines and pipes. It’s a good idea to check your sewer system if you notice an increase of pests on your property because it can be the source. Getting a sewer line repair is one step in keeping these unwelcome guests away.
Higher Than Expected Water Bill
A leak in your sewer system causes you to use more water than normal. Getting a water bill with an unexpected spike in the fee could be the sign of a sewer line problem. Get your sewer inspected to make sure you don’t have any leaks or obstructions.
