Maintaining your sewer line is essential for avoiding costly repairs and unsanitary conditions. By addressing problems early on, you can prevent sewage backups, health hazards, and property damage.
*
If multiple drains in your home are draining slowly, it could indicate a clog or blockage in the sewer line.
*
Air trapped in the sewer line can cause gurgling sounds when drains are used. This can point to a partial blockage.
*
Persistent foul odors coming from drains or around the house can be a sign of sewage leaks or backups.
*
If water pools or remains stagnant in your yard or basement after storms, it could be caused by a damaged or clogged sewer line.
Depending on the extent of the problem, different repair methods may be used:
*
A trenchless method uses specialized equipment to access and repair the sewer line without digging a trench. This is less invasive and minimizes property damage.
*
In some cases, excavating a trench may be necessary to access and repair the sewer line. This method involves digging a trench along the line to expose it.
A sewer cleanout is a capped pipe located in the house or on the property. It provides access to the sewer line for cleaning and inspection purposes:
*
A sewer cleanout can usually be found in areas like the basement, crawlspace, or utility room near the main drain stack.
*
The cleanout typically consists of a capped pipe with a screw cap made of PVC or metal. The cap is usually around 3-4 inches in diameter.
