DISADVANTAGES OF A DAMAGED SEWER LINE
HOW TO KNOW IF YOUR SEWER LINE IS DAMAGED
1. IF THERE IS A TERRIBLE ODOR
2. SLOW DRAIN
A slow drain indicates a blockage in your sewer piper, which may later result in a sewage backup. Slow drainage can be identified if a bathtub, toilet, or sink gradually drains its water even after cleaning the line.
Additionally, it would help if you were mindful when using chemicals to clean blocked drains since it may stagnate in the pipes and slowly begin to dissolve and eat the PVC and cast iron.
3. IF MOLD BEGINS TO FORM
4. SEWAGE BLOCKAGES AND BACKUPS
For a sewer backup to occur, there has to be a blockage within your core line. If water fails to flush or run down the drain pipe of the bathtub or sink, there is an issue in the main sewer line. Contrary to this, if backups only occur in certain drains, then the issue is likely to be found within that particular drain.
If you consistently experience backups even after cleaning the pipes, you will likely have an underline issue, such as openings allowing surrounding soil into the pipes, debris pileup, or tree root intrusion. However, the issue can be distinguished with a sewer video inspection to see if you require a sewer line cleanout or repair.
5. IF SEPTIC WASTE IS POOLING IN YOUR YARD
6. INSECT INFESTATION
Compared to rodents, insects such as palmetto bugs, cockroaches, and sewer flies can easily intrude your house through openings found on the sewer pipes. Cockroaches can cause several health hazards because of a particular protein (referred to as allergies) found in its saliva or feces. Any contact with the roach can trigger an asthma symptom or an allergy reaction, often in children.
Calling a pest control entity is a temporary means of getting rid of the incents. Nevertheless, getting in touch with a plumber may be ideal since they will seal any entry point located on the sewer pipes, prohibiting them from entering your house.
7. FOUNDATION CRACKS, SINKHOLES, AND SETTLEMENTS
Extreme cases of sewer pipe bursting or deterioration include foundation settlement, cracks on slabs, and sinkholes. If the main pipe under the slabs develops an opening, which goes untreated for a long time, it’ll cause slab leak problems and form building sediments in your home, or crack along the foundation. To avoid this, call your local plumbing company, and get to know what to do next.
SHOULD I LEAVE MY HOME FOR A SEWER LINE BREAK
Provisional to how grave the damages are; you might have to stay somewhere else during the sewer line repair. However, if you opt to stay at home, you might have to store water early in advance since you can’t run the water while the plumber is repairing your line.
This might not be an issue, especially if they are swift and effective. However, since young children constantly need access to water, it would be best if you stayed with your family or friends, or probably at a local hotel, depending on how you see fit.
WHAT TO EXPECT WHEN SEWER PIPE REPAIR IS HAPPENING
First, the plumber will need to diagnose the issue with your sewer lines. Then we will do a camera inspection through the pipes while marking the sewer line’s location on the surface with a spray-paint. Sprinklers, utility lines, and any other obstacle located underneath the ground will also be marked.
After diagnosing the real cause, we’ll discuss with you available cost-effective repair options.
In addition to that, you may need to seek permission from your neighbor in case your pipes run in their property. The repairs may be loud; therefore, you might have to postpone any activity that you had.
