Signs A Property Needs Our Sewer Repair Service

How can property owners tell whether there is a damaged sewer system that requires the attention of an expert? A few indicators include:

Foul Smell

A sewer system is normally airtight for hygiene and environmental reasons. If you notice a foul smell lingering, it could be time to call our sewer line repair expert for a quick look. Rising odors are often a sign of a leak in the sewer lines; the sooner we repair it, the better.

Slow Drainage

If the water in a toilet, bathtub, or sink is taking much longer than usual to drain, it could indicate clogged pipes or, worse, a full blockage. Drain cleaning may help, but clogs deeper in the sewer line will need professional attention as soon as possible.

Water Damage

At Steadfast Plumbing & Heating, we often see the harmful effects of water damage, especially where a leaking or broken drain line is hidden from view. A classic sign of water damage is mold spreading across the walls and floors, and if the source is a broken sewer line, it may also bring the risk of other contaminants. A quick repair should mitigate the damage and allow everything to air out before it erodes surfaces in the building.

Noisy Pipes

Are there unusual gurgling noises emanating from the sewer pipe? It may indicate air traps in the sewer line, often due to a pipe clog. Our professionals do not recommend ignoring this issue for long—a clog can lead to problematic cracks and leaks throughout the system.
