Sewer Line

Signs You Need A Sewer Line Clean Out

There are several essential components of any residential plumbing system. Over time, these can become clogged with debris and lead to various costly and hazardous issues. One aspect in particular to consider is a regular clean-out sewer line service.

In this article, we’ll discuss signs that you need to take note of before calling a professional. Read on to find out what to keep an eye out for.

Slowing Drains

Slow draining is one of the most common indications that you need a deeper cleanout. If you notice that water is draining slowly from your sinks, shower, or bathtub, it could be a sign that your drainage and sewerage system is backed up. This is because the water is not able to flow freely through the line due to the buildup of debris.

Clogged Plumbing

If you have multiple clogged drains in your home, these inner systems are likely clogged and diminished. This is because all of the drains in your home are connected to the same sewer line. If one drain is clogged, it can cause other drains to become clogged as well, which will impact the entire property.

Deteriorating Odours

If you notice bad smells coming from your drains, it could be a sign that you have a deeper blockage and build-up of these things, as well as rotting organic matter. This debris in the system can often sit for a long time, and when it builds up to the point of stopping the water flow, it can also emit a strong, off-smelling smell. This needs to be taken care of before it settles into your home and affects your family’s health. 

Multiple Backups

If you experience backups in your plumbing system, it is a sign that your sewer line is clogged. Backups can occur when the water in your plumbing system has nowhere to go due to a clog. Even though many homes may have backwater valves or similar systems in place, those without a plan B risk having sewerage backup brought into the home through the drains.

Pooling Water

If you notice water pooling in your yard or around your home, it could be a sign that your sewer line is clogged. This is because the water is not able to flow freely through the line, causing it to back up and pool in your yard or around your home.

If you notice any of these signs, it is important to call out the experts for a clean-out sewer line repair immediately. A clogged sewer line can cause serious plumbing issues, leading to expensive repairs and potential health hazards.
