Telltale Signs of a Leaking Sewer Line

One of the primary reasons homeowners seek our services at BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air is because of sewer leaks. Unnoticeable sewer leaks can be very costly, unhealthy, and cause structural damage to your home. Here are some telltale signs of a leaking sewer line that may need sewer repair services.

Running Water Sounds

If you keep hearing a dripping or running water sound but cannot see any leaks in your toilet, kitchen sink, or faucets, you may have a sewer leak. To confirm if there’s a leak, close all taps and record your water meter reading. Recheck your meter after two to three hours; if the reading changes, you have a leak. Calling a plumber for a thorough sewer inspection will help place where exactly the leak is. If you have several leaks, you may need to replace sewer line.

Unpleasant Odors

Wastewater in your sewer line emits awful sewage odors that can be uncomfortable. Most likely, the smell will be more prevalent in your basement area or outside. In case your walls are affected by the leaking wastewater, the damp conditions can cause a musty smell.

Damp Floors

A leaking sewer line can cause areas on your floor to feel moist. Over time the wet conditions can cause wooden floors to warp and lead to mold growth. These can put your and the health of your loved ones at risk. If you notice damp floors on your property, you should hire a plumbing company for a sewer pipe line repair right away.

Lush Outdoor Growth

Pipe damage in underground lines can lead to leaks that cause changes in your outdoor landscape. Leaks cause moist conditions that can trigger robust plant growth and cause wet sunken patches in your yard. You may think this is a good thing, but the moist areas also harbor bacteria that can spread and ruin your whole landscape. A sewer line replacement is the best solution to dealing with pipe damage that causes leaks.

Sewer line leaks often highlight other underlying drain issues and need immediate professional attention. When in need of professional sewer line repair, contact BullsEye Plumbing Heating & Air today.
