Can Blocked Drains Smell Like Gas?

Pests can be gross and such a pain. You don’t want to see them in your home. Did you know that rodents often live in sewers? They can enter your home through cracks in the sewer line.

How to Tell if Sewer Pipe is Leaking in Yard
Have you noticed that your lawn has become really lush and green? If you haven’t changed anything you have been doing to your lawn, there is a chance you could have a broken sewer line.
