Signs of a Breached Sewer Line Beneath Your Yard

Among the troubles that can occur with your plumbing, one of the largest and most urgent to have repaired is a breach in the sewer line. This pipe takes the collected wastewater from all the drains in your house and transports it to the sewer main that runs down the center of the street and then to a municipal sewage treatment plant. The sewer main is the responsibility of the utility company, but the sewer line is yours as a homeowner. When breaks occur, it’s up to you to call for the professional plumbers who can repair it.

Although a sewer line is usually buried a few feet beneath your front yard, a breach will create a number of signs that will warn you to call for help. When you notice any of the following, call the Springfield, PA sewer repair specialists at Wm. Henderson Plumbing & Heating Inc.

Foul sewer odors from your yard

When the sewer pipe breaks and sewage begins to escape, noxious sewage gas will rise rapidly up through the soil and escape through your yard. If you encounter this unexpected odor, don’t wait for any other indications of trouble: call for a plumber.

Wet spots on the yard

If you notice small pools and damp spots on your yard that you cannot account for because of rain or sprinklers, it might be due to a sewage line break. These pools should have the same terrible sewer odor mentioned above, which will help tip you off as to what is happening.

Slow drains and clogs throughout the house

Damage to a sewer line will cause a backup of wastewater into your home’s plumbing. The first warnings of this will be clogs and slow drains that appear in drains around your home. Standard plunging won’t fix these problems. Call for repairs before the backflow climbs any farther up the pipes.

Dampness in the basement

As sewage backflow begins, it will enter the lowest parts of a home first: the basement or the foundations. If you notice water spots around the drains in your basement, call for plumbing assistance immediately.

Any problem with your home’s plumbing requires you to act fast to have repairs completed. But sewer line problems are particularly urgent to avoid damage to your lawn and your home, as well as the creation of unsanitary conditions.
