Sewer lines are important to a well functioning home. Mostly unmentioned like a dirty secret, sewer lines are vital nonetheless. Though not particularly common, sewer lines can be inflicted with damage and clogs, leaving you in distress, and that’s putting it mildly. In many cases, roots can be the culprit as to why your sewer lines are experiencing problems.

Orsack Plumbing Company has compiled a list of warning signs that your sewer lines are in need of a professional plumber.

1. Drains frequently backup. Where many folks attempt home remedies of liquid drain removals, more than likely a seemingly chronic drain backing up could be the result of a break or a serious obstruction in the sewer lines.
2. Gurgling sounds emitting from drains. As a result of flushing a toilet, the drains may make a gurgling sound. An unfortunate sign there is a deeper issue in the sewer lines.
3. Peculiar indentations strewn throughout your lawn. Sewer lines often extend beyond the home and into the yard where they hook into the city’s sewage system. Breaks in the sewer line will often cause indentations in your lawn.
4. Grass continually remains wet and soggy. Catching a sewer line issue is commonly done when homeowners are cutting the grass and discover it is slushy, even when there were not any recent rain storms. This is a definite sign your sewer line or water pipes are in need of a professional’s touch.
5. Increased water bill. Your water bill is an accurate record of your water consumption. A suddenly dramatic increase is a solid sign a sewer line has burst.
6. Low water pressure or flow. Water pressure and flow are two separate identifiers. Water flow is the physical liquid or volume of water that you receive from your sinks, shower heads, and other faucets. If you notice less flow, then your piping is most likely experiencing a leak. Water pressure is the force of the water that is being pushed out. If you noticed a decrease in low pressure, it would indicate that your piping has expanded, cracked and/or burst.
7. Pungent and abnormal odors. Mold and mildew are two forms of fungus that often grow with the aid of moisture and emit behind a musty odor. If you smell a funky, musty odor in your home, then the likely cause is water damage or pockets of moisture built up as a result of a cracked pipe.
8. Tree roots. Slow flowing drains and gurgling noises from your toilet bowls is a sign that your sewer system is being overran by tree roots. If you don’t respond quickly to remove the roots, a complete sewer line block will occur.
