Signs You Need Professional Sewer Repair

24/7 Emergency Sewer Repair - Hammond Services

Over time, it’s natural for the various plumbing components in your Griffin, GA household to accumulate wear and tear. Whether it be your water heater, sewer lines, sump pump, or fixtures, those components will eventually need to be repaired or replaced to continue running properly. However, if you wait too long to bring in plumbing professionals, you may find yourself dealing with a serious, unexpected issue, such as a sewer pipe with a major leak. At Hammond Services, our skilled plumbers are always available to provide 24/7 emergency sewer repair. Here, we’ll cover a few of the telltale signs that your household sewer line needs professional emergency plumbing attention.
 
Sewage Backup
 
When your home’s sewer line is damaged, one of the most common and unpleasant symptoms is the presence of sewage backup. It can happen seemingly out of nowhere, and before you know it, you can have nasty sewage coming out of your sinks, bathtubs, and even toilets. This is not only disgusting to deal with, but it can also lead to other problems like mold growth and water damage to your property. And the longer you wait to bring in trained plumbers, the more severe the sewage backup will likely become.
 
Consistently Slow Drainage
 
Another very common sign of clogged or damaged sewer pipes is persistent issues with slow drainage. Have you noticed that the sinks and showers in your Griffin area home frequently get clogged or drain unusually slowly? When this becomes a regular problem, it usually means that there’s a significant underlying issue with your sewer line. And although our expert plumbers offer reliable drain cleaning services, we may need to repair your sewer pipe to truly remedy the situation.
 
Soggy Lawn
 
Typically, your home’s sewer line runs beneath your front lawn. And if that pipe becomes damaged and starts leaking, there’s a good chance the water will spread to the soil and grass above. Once that begins to happen, it typically doesn’t take long for certain sections of your yard to start becoming unusually soggy. If the leak is allowed to persist for long enough, you might even notice certain patches of grass becoming greener than the rest of the lawn. Both of these situations are clear signs that there’s either an issue with your sewer line or your home’s main water line.
 
Sewage Odor
 
Sometimes, when your home’s sewage system becomes backed up, the sewage won’t actually come out of your drains—or at least, that won’t happen right away. However, even if you aren’t seeing the sewage, there’s a good chance that you’ll be smelling it. When food scraps, waste, and anything else you’ve put down the drain linger for multiple days, the odor inevitably becomes overpowering. When that happens, it’s only a matter of time before you start noticing it in multiple parts of your home. If you’re experiencing a nasty sewage odor and can’t determine where it’s coming from, the odds are that your sewer system needs professional attention.
 
Increase in Pests
 
Have you noticed a sudden increase in pests hanging out around your home, and specifically, your front yard? If you have, there’s a strong possibility that it’s due to your sewer line being damaged. When your sewer line starts leaking beneath your lawn, the moisture and odor quickly start to attract rodents and other pests. And if your sewer pipe is significantly damaged, many of those pests may find their way into your house as well. This is why it’s so important to enlist our emergency sewer repair services as soon as you suspect that your sewer line is damaged.
