Several symptoms tell you your sewer lines are in trouble. Whether you are experiencing one or all of the symptoms, schedule an appointment with a plumber if you see any of the following:

  • Gurgling sound coming from the toilet
  • No water inside your toilet
  • Problems with tub or shower draining
  • Sewage smell on your property
  • Sewage backup in toilet or basement (this would be a time to use an after-hours or 24/7 emergency line)

Causes of Sewer Line Problems

One or more of the following problems cause almost all issues with sewer lines. If you know you have a large tree growing close to your line or if you know your pipes are very old, you may be able to guess where your issues lie. Here is a list of the most common sewer line problems that cause homeowners to holler “I need a plumber near me:”

  • Tree Roots – Tree roots often grow around and inside your sewer pipes and quickly cause blockages and damage.
  • Broken Pipes – Freezing and shifting ground often cause broken pipes. Or, the age of your pipes or the material your pipes are made of is a common cause.
  • Blockages – Your sewer pipe are clogged or blocked by a foreign object or another material, such as grease or the allegedly “flushable” wipes. Spoiler: the wipes don’t break down as much as they should.
  • Leaking Joints – When your seals have broken, water leaks out of your pipes.

Repairs of Sewer Line Problems

Sewer line repairs have the potential to be costly. It is important that you find a plumber near you who has experience and is familiar with the latest technology.

One decision with a sewer line repair is whether it is possible to repair the pipes safely and effectively or if you must replace them. An expert with a good deal of experience helps you make this decision. The cause of your sewer problems guides the remedy. If your pipes are made of inferior materials or are literally crumbling, a repair is often not an option.

In some cases, a repair might seem like a cost-effective solution, but a replacement might be inevitable, and a repair now costs longer in the end. Make these decisions with a plumber you trust who has plenty of experience specifically working on sewer lines.
