  • Various elements can damage sewer lines, causing plumbing problems in your home. You will notice symptoms whether you have a broken pipe or a clogged drain. If you notice either of these, you probably have one or both:

    • Slowly draining or not draining a bathtub
    • Sewage-filled toilets
    • The basement or yard smells strongly of sewage
    • Around sewage pipes, there is abnormally green grass
    • Noises coming from the toilet drainage
    • Flooding in the yard
  • You probably wonder what caused a sewer line backup. To determine this, we provide our customers with thorough inspections and diagnostic services. An accurate assessment is the first step toward a proper solution. Several factors can contribute to sewer line problems, including:

    • Roots penetrate sewer pipes
    • Degeneration caused by aging
    • Neglect and lack of maintenance
    • Buildup of grease, hair, sludge, and toilet paper
    • Errors in installation or design

  • Build-up hair, sludge, and debris
  • Construction-related ground shifts
  • General aging-related deterioration
  • Lack of regular maintenance
  • Poor pipe installation
  • Temperature changes causing freeze-thaw cycles
  • Tree root infiltration

  • Sewage smells on your property
  • Slow-draining sinks or tubs
  • Unexpected yard flooding
  • Vibrant grass near sewer lines
  • Visible sewage in drains
  • Water scarcity in toilets
