How to Tell If Your Sewer Line Needs Repair

Unpleasant scents from the sewer line

Perhaps the quickest way to detect that there is a problem in your sewer line is the generation of offensive odor. The presence of strong stench in the basement, toilet or bathroom tub is a sign that the sewer pipe has broken and there is a need to replace and install a better one or repair the existing one. Call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Youngstown to schedule an inspection and the most suitable sewer line repair and replacement service that will resolve the problem in no time.

Sounds and reduction in the pressure of water flow

Other signs and symptoms of problems in sewer lines are the unusual sounds and the reduction in water flow. You need to pay attention to some bubbling and gurgling noise emanating from your sewer line, they can be a major sign that your sewer line has been clogged, and requires sewer line cleaning. Standing water is another indication that there is a major problem in your sewer line. If you know where the sewer line is located, you need to check if there are puddles around it, and you need to check the surrounding areas of the sewer line for possible stench, and witness- all these are indications that you need to repair the sewer line as soon as possible.

Bubbling sounds in your bathtub also mean that the used water is not draining properly. When water runs back into your bathtub occasionally and collects in the tub, then the sewer line is probably clogged. Leaving clogged sewer line unrepaired can cause a number of damages which include damages to the foundation of the home and release of unpleasant odor into the air. Contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Youngstown, as soon as you notice any of these signs.
