Signs of a Broken Sewer Line

Hydro Jetting - Plumber in Sacramento, CA - Dependable Rooter & Plumbing

There are several signs you should always be on the lookout for when it comes to broken sewer lines. Unfortunately, most home and business owners are woefully unaware of the symptoms of a broken sewer line. So, to help rectify this little problem, the team of plumbing professionals here at Dependable Rooter & Plumbing has put together a list of the five most common signs of a broken sewer line. So, without further ado, let’s get started!

Sign 1 – Sewer Odors and Gasses

The first and one of the most apparent signs of a broken sewer line is the presence of sewer odors and gasses. If you’ve noticed a sewage smell from your yard, plumbing fixtures, and drains, you likely have a leaking or broken portion of your sewer line. So, if you’ve smelled sewage around your property, please do not hesitate to call us at (916) 570-7011 for assistance.

Sign 2 – Gurgling Toilets and Drains

Gurgling sounds from toilet drains and other plumbing fixtures are severe signs of a broken sewer line. Usually, hearing the gurgling sound once or twice is nothing to worry yourself over. However, suppose you hear gurgling or see bubbling every time you flush the toilet or let water down the sink. In that case, you probably have a broken sewer line that needs immediate service.

Sign 3 – Pests

Since rodents and insects are attracted to water sources, a leaking and broken sewer line will naturally bring in the pests. Suppose you’ve noticed a sudden uptick in pest problems you experience at home. In that case, a broken sewer line may be the culprit. Contact us here at Dependable Rooter & Plumbing for a sewer inspection if you’ve noticed more pest problems than usual. You should especially do so if you’ve noticed more pests in addition to one or more of the other signs on this list.

Sign 4 – Slow-Moving Drains

As with gurgling drains, you may have a broken sewer line if you notice slow-moving drains and plumbing fixtures. If you have any slow-moving drains on your property, don’t hesitate to contact us for sewer inspection services. The faster you act, the less likely your sewer problem will worsen.

Sign 5 – Sewage Backup in the Toilet or Tub

Having sewage back up into your toilet or tub is another serious sign of a broken sewer line. While it is true that a backup is more typically associated with a clog or obstruction, it can also happen due to a broken section of the line. So, if you’ve noticed any sewage backups in your toilet or drains, contact our professional plumbers immediately.
