Signs of a Damaged Sewer Line

Because the main sewer line runs underground from your house to the street, it can be easy to miss the signs of damage. Knowing how to recognize a problem is important because prompt repairs can help prevent serious damage to your home.

Your main sewer line may be damaged when you notice:

• Slow Drains: A slow drain is easy to overlook. While it may not seem like a big deal, slow drains are a sign of an obstruction in the drainpipe or sewer line. A blockage can allow water to accumulate, which can create excessive pressure. The result could be a burst pipe, water damage, or mold growth.
• High Water Bills: In most homes, the water bills remain relatively steady. When you notice a sudden spike in the bills without an increase in water usage, you could have a damaged sewer line.
• Swampy Yard: A cracked, broken, or collapsed sewer line can result in a soggy lawn and water pooling in the yard. If you notice an unpleasant odor or pest infestation, the sewer line may be damaged.
• Mold: Mold thrives in moist environments, and a drain or sewer line problem can create the perfect conditions for mold growth. If you notice mold or a family member is allergic to mold, it is important to address the underlying plumbing issue.

A damaged drain or sewer line won’t improve on its own and will usually sustain more damage if you wait to call a professional. We encourage you to call for sewer and drain repair in Waxahachie as soon as you notice a potential problem.

Sewer Diagnosis & Repair Using Video Camera Technology

A visual inspection of the inside of drainpipes and sewer lines is possible with the development of sewer cameras. We use top-quality sewer video camera equipment to inspect the inside of drainpipes and sewer lines. This allows us to diagnose damage to the pipe, find the exact cause of the problem, and provide valuable information for decision-making.

If you have a damaged drain or sewer line, we do our best to make it right for you. After we have completed the camera inspection, we explain the problem and options for sewer and drain repair in Waxahachie.

Drain & Sewer Maintenance Tips

There are steps you can take to prevent drain and sewer line damage:

• Watch what you flush! Make sure you don’t put anything down a toilet that doesn’t belong there, including "flushable" wipes, hair, gum, cigarette butts, hygiene products, and other trash.
• Keep garbage out of your sink. Instead of rinsing them down the sink, be sure to throw cooking oil, grease, vegetable peels, coffee grounds, egg shells, chicken bones, and similar items in the waste bin.
• Avoid planting trees near the sewer line. Tree roots constantly seek out water and are strong enough to break through weakened sewer pipes in order to get it.
• Keep your drains clean. If you have a problem with recurring clogs in certain drains, regular drain cleaning can help prevent damage to the pipe.
