Your home’s sewer line is essential to keeping you and your family healthy and safe. A non-functional sewer line can spread disease, cause unbearable odors, and is inconvenient to the overall function of a home. Malfunctions or breaks can happen for a variety of reasons, including hair, dirt, and grease buildup, cracks from intruding tree roots, and backups that cause pressure overload on parts of the line. It’s best to call a plumber the minute you realize that something is wrong to minimize damage and keep your family safe.
