SIGNS OF CLOGGED OR BROKEN SEWER LINES

​When was the last time you had your sewer lines checked? Clogged and broken sewer lines can instantly become a smelly, costly mess and unsanitary if they aren’t addressed immediately.  Luckily, nasty sewer lines often give you warning signs before completely breaking down. Let’s take a look at some signs that you may have a clogged or broken sewer line in NJ:

• Slow drainage. Do your toilets appear to be take forever to flush? Or do your showers, sinks, bathtubs drain more slowly than they once did? This is a sure sign there may be problem with your sewer line. A reliable drainage and sewer line company in New Jersey, equipped with the right video inspection tools, will be able to tell you instantly if you have an issue with your sewer line.

 

• A strong unpleasant smell. Clogged and broken sewer lines will frequently be accompanied by a continuing odor of sewage. You may not be able to determine the exact location, but it will be present sometimes (or possibly all the time) and can make your home uncomfortable to live in. Time to get your sewer line inspected.

 

• Repeatedly clogged drains. When your drains don’t drain properly, dirt will often back up in your pipes and lead to blockages in your property. This can cause back up pump flooding.

 

• Watery lawns. If there are areas in your yard that seem to stay damp even when it hasn’t rained, it could be either a sign of a drainage, waterline leak or broken sewer line problem. If it’s accompanied by a sewage smell and it’s located between your house and the road, then it’s probably an issue with your sewer line.
