Owning a home is a good experience, but problems can sometimes occur. There are some issues you can easily deal with yourself, but some problems must be handled by professionals. One example is a backed up sewer line. If you notice any of these common signs, you should not hesitate in calling for help.
Noisy Drains
When you use your sink, tub, or toilet, the only sound you should hear is the water running down the drain. You will not hear gurgling or bubbling unless there is a blockage. You may also hear these odd sounds when you are using your washing machine, or other appliances that need water.
Smelly Drains
Backed up sewer lines cause a foul odor. If you smell sewage, it is a sign that something is wrong.
Multiple Drains Are Affected
A minor clog can affect one particular drain. However, our professional plumbers should be consulted if water from one drain backs up into a different drain. It is also a sign of serious problems if there are clogs in more than one drain at a time.
You Notice Bubbles
When water does not go through the pipes properly, you may see air bubbles around the drain. These bubbles can occur after you flush your toilet, or after running water down your tub or sink.
Frequent Problems With Your Toilet
It is normal to need to plunge a toilet occasionally, but you may need to do it more often than usual. This can be a sign of a sewer line blockage.
Slow Draining
Your sinks or tub may be taking much longer to drain than they did in the past. If only one fixture drains slowly, the problem could be in the secondary line. However, if the fixtures throughout your home are all draining slowly, the main sewer line is at fault.
Multiple Plumbing Fixtures Are Affected
When you use your washing machine, water may back up into your sink. Sewage may back up into your shower when you flush your toilet. Regardless of the fixture you are currently using, one or more others can be affected.
