Signs Your Sewer Line May Need Repair
Sewer line issues often start small but escalate quickly. If you notice any of the following problems, especially more than one, contact Priority Home Services for a professional assessment:
- Foul Odors: If you notice foul odors around your home and property, particularly around drains, plumbing fixtures, and plumbing systems, this may indicate a problem with your sewer line that requires professional attention and repair.
- Odd Noises: Odd noises from your plumbing are often a sign that something is wrong with your sewer line. If you hear gurgling noises coming from your kitchen or bathroom sinks, or when you fill up your tub with water to take a bath, you may have a clog or break in your sewer line that will require repair.
- Wet Patches: Random wet or soggy patches of grass in your yard generally indicate a break in your sewer line and will require professional assistance from a plumbing contractor as soon as possible.
- Multiple Clogs: If most of your toilets, bathtubs, showers, and kitchen or bathroom sinks are constantly clogging, there is likely an issue within your sewer line that is causing these consequences within your home’s plumbing system.
- Sewage Backup: Arguably, the worst sign of a broken sewer line is all the sewage backup! When a severe clog occurs in your sewer line, it can cause sewage backup in your drains. This is not a very pleasant thing to deal with, and the longer you wait to have it professionally repaired, the more extensive and expensive the repairs will be.
Common Causes of Sewer Line Clogs
Routine sewer line inspections and cleaning can significantly reduce the risk of major issues. Through camera inspections and hydro‑jetting, our team can identify and remove buildup before it becomes a costly problem.
Some of the most frequent causes of sewer line blockages include:
Tree Root Intrusion
Roots naturally seek moisture and can break through sewer pipes, causing blockages, leaks, and structural damage.
Hair Buildup
Excess hair forms dense clogs that catch additional debris and restrict water flow.
Improperly Flushed Items
Feminine products, wipes, paper towels, and excessive toilet paper can overwhelm sewer systems and cause major clogs.
Grease Accumulation
Kitchen grease hardens inside pipes, creating stubborn obstructions that require professional cleaning.
Food Waste
Fibrous or starchy foods can expand, clog, or slow drainage over time.
Soap Scum
Soap residue builds up along pipe walls, contributing to long‑term drainage problems.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does a sewer line repair take?
That depends on several factors, including the pipe’s location, size, and the type and extent of damage. That said, most sewer line repairs take 1 to 3 days to complete. However, more complex repairs can take up to a week to complete.
How much does it cost to clear a main sewer line?
Pricing varies based on the line’s size, accessibility, and severity of the clog. We provide upfront estimates after an in‑home inspection.
Can toilet paper clog a sewer line?
Over time, toilet paper and other debris can clog a sewer line, easily snagging on the tree roots that often infiltrate them. Plus, flushing sanitary products, feminine hygiene products, facial tissues, paper towels, or even extra-thick toilet paper can severely clog up your sewer line over time.
How do I know what’s wrong with my sewer line?
A sewer camera inspection is the most accurate way to diagnose issues such as cracks, blockages, roots, or collapsed pipe sections.
Does homeowners’ insurance cover sewer line repair?
That depends largely on the cause of the sewer line problem. Usually, homeowners’ insurance covers only damages caused by “sudden and accidental” events, such as fire, lightning, windstorms, and vandalism/theft. However, sewer line damage caused by long-term deterioration or normal wear and tear is typically excluded.
