Are You Buying a New Home or a Hidden Problem?
Sewer backups are not only costly due to the repairs outside the home, but the potential cleanup inside the home also. When buying a home, you should consider having the line inspected with a sewer camera. You can avoid buying someone else's problem, especially after you just spent your savings to put down on your new house. By running a camera through the drain line, we can inspect and determine if there is a potential problem before you settle on the purchase.
One of the most common signs of a gas leak is a rotten smell throughout your home. Don't wait for it to get worse and call our specialists for prompt service.
What Causes Sewer Line Problems?
There are many reasons your sewer line can be compromised and not work efficiently. Some of the most common reasons include:
- Tree Roots: We always recommend that homeowners do not plant trees or other vegetation near their sewer line. The reason is that a root system will always reach for the nearest water source, even if it means bursting through your sewer pipes to get it. This can cause serious disruptions and repairs.
- Old Pipes: Over time your pipes will be subject to wear and tear. Your pipes can become corroded or worn out. Especially if you use chemical drain cleaners.
- Temperature Changes: A rapid increase in temperature can cause the ground to shift and can impact the piping system.
Other causes for sewer line problems are completely avoidable. Digging around the area and hitting a pipe is all too common.
Signs You Need Sewer Line Work
If there was ever an upside to needing sewer line repairs, it’s the fact that a problem is easy to spot. Your sewer line will do a pretty good job letting you know something is wrong. Keep an eye out for problems such as these:
- Standing water or slow draining water in your sink, tub or shower.
- Roots, branches, dirt or other debris backflowing from your drains.
- Gurgling sounds coming from your pipes.
If you notice any of these problems, you may have a sewer line blockage or disruption. Call the experts at PlumbCrazy today for a diagnosis and repair.
