Sewer Repair

Before you make any assumptions, it is good to know what problems your sewer line might have. What symptoms should you look for and what might they mean?

 

Sludgy messes in your backyard or standing water in your basement aren’t just minor inconveniences. They can be signs of a problem with your drainage and sewer system. Even minor sewer issues can prove costly to repair if not caught early enough. Hiller Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electrical can help repair sewer problems and drainage issues and keep your home’s plumbing operational.

Common Symptoms of Drainage and Sewer Problems

Slow Drains Throughout the Home

Sewer line backups are often caused by clogs. Clogs can occur at any point in your plumbing system, but ones that happen outside the home are often the costliest to repair. Unfortunately, clogged sewer lines don’t present clear symptoms for weeks. A single clog in a drain or pipe is easy enough to fix with an auger or plunger. Once the clog is so bad that all drains in the home stop flushing properly, expensive repairs may be in order. To ensure it’s the sewer problem and not just one drain, check all drains. If they’re all slow or if water sometimes flows back, you need to act immediately. Clogged drains don’t cause issues overnight but can grow to become a whole-home issue. To prevent issues, have water drains cleaned regularly.

Small Leaks and Standing Water in the Basement

If you’ve noticed standing water or small leaks in the basement, it could be a sign of leaks in the drainage structure between the end drains in your home and sewer lines.

Soggy or Squishy Ground Outside

If the ground outside your home is suddenly squishy or soggy without recent rains or an irrigation system, it’s probably a sewer issue. Water is pouring into the surrounding ground soil.

Foul Odors in the Home

Sewer gases have a distinct smell. If you notice it, either in a specific area or throughout the home, contact us right away. Drains are designed to stop sewer gases from returning to your home through traps and air vacuums. Severe clogs and leaks can negate this precaution, putting your family and your home at risk. If you’ve noticed foul smells, call us immediately for emergency drain service. Check the surroundings for dampness to determine where the leak is. The problem may be in a particular sewer pipe and not the whole system. Minor repairs might be enough to solve the issue.

The Importance of Fast Sewer Repair

Even a slight leakage can cause massive issues very quickly. If you notice a slight leak or suspect a blockage is beginning to form, do not wait to call. Your sewer line is incredibly important for keeping your entire plumbing system running smoothly. If it needs repair, every second counts. Replacement or large-scale repairs aren’t just expensive. They can require you to leave your home for days or weeks. By making small repairs and routine maintenance, you can save money, time, and inconvenience.
