Signs You Have a Clogged or Broken Sewer Line
When was the last time you had drain cleaning and your sewage lines inspected? If they aren’t dealt with immediately, clogged and broken sewer lines can quickly become an unpleasant, unhealthy, and expensive mess. Fortunately, troublesome sewer lines frequently give you warning signs before completely failing. Here are some warning signs that your sewer line may be blocked or damaged:
Slow Drainage
Do your toilets seem to flush slowly? Do your bathtubs, showers, and sinks drain more slowly now than they used to? This is a definite sign of a problem with your sewer line. If you have a sewer line issue, a reputable drainage and sewer line company in Vancouver will be able to tell you right away, thanks to the appropriate video inspection tools.
Frequently Clogged Drains
The material will frequently back up in your pipes and cause blockages in your home when your drains don’t drain properly. Flooding of backup pumps may result from this.
What’s That Smell?
In Vancouver, the smell of sewage often lingers after blocked or damaged sewer lines have been repaired. Although you might not be able to pinpoint the exact location, it will be intermittent (or perhaps always present) and could make a living in your home uncomfortable. It’s time to inspect your sewer line!
Soggy Lawns
It may signify a drainage, waterline leak, or broken sewer line issue if certain areas of your yard remain damp even when it has yet to rain. It’s probably a problem with your sewer line if it’s accompanied by a sewage smell and is situated between your home and the road.
Indentations in Your Driveway or Dips in Your Lawn
There is a good chance that your sewer line is about to collapse or is “bellied”—the pipe has sunk due to unstable soil conditions and created a dip where waste can collect and obstruct the sewage flow. If you notice indentations or dips where your sewer line runs in your yard or under your driveway, this raises the possibility that your sewer line is on the verge of collapsing.
