Stroudsburg Sewer Repair Service
Buried underground, sewer lines are often out of sight and out of mind. However, when sewer lines clog, collapse, or shift, homeowners can’t help but notice them. Timely sewer repairs keep homes habitable and safe. Sewer service can prevent effluence and all of the biological and chemical contaminants it contains from entering your drains, fixtures, and connected appliances.
There are several sure signs that you need a sewer repair.
- Multiple slow-moving, dirty, or clogged drains
- Wet, marshy spots in your yard
- Pungent sewer gas odors
- Gurgling and bubbling noises coming from drains
- Foul-smelling, pooling water in your yard
If the grass above your sewer line is suddenly lush and verdant, this might also indicate the need for sewer service. When sewer lines rupture or leak, they leach moisture and nutrients into the surrounding soils that help weeds, trees, grass, and other greenery thrive.
Even something as simple as putting too much pressure on your sewer line can cause problems. For instance, if you recently used a heavy stump grinder in your yard, this may have caused soil compression. Putting weighty items on top of underground sewer lines can cause them to shift, offset, or crack.
More often than not, sewer line blockages and whole-house backups are the result of trapped debris. Buildups of organic waste, “flushable wipes,” grease, hair, and hard water minerals gradually decrease the diameter of pipes in their interior. As a result, effluence has less room to flow through and becomes trapped.
If underground weeds or tree roots have encroached upon your sewer line, they’ll create similar issues. These obstructions can snag slow-degrading or solid, non-degradable items and stop the movement of waste entirely.
