Most homeowners and business owners aren’t aware that they may have an issue with their underground water/sewer lines until it’s too late. However, there are several warning signs you can watch for that could indicate problems, including:
• Backed-up / Clogged Drains – This is usually the most common sign that your water or sewer line may need repaired or replaced. If your sewage backs up when you flush your toilet, you may have a clogged sewer line.
• Wet Lawns – If the grass seems greener around your septic tank or your lawn is noticeably wet, it’s never a good sign.
• Unpleasant Odors – Your plumbing system should never have an unpleasant odor. Get it examined right away!
• Structural Damages – Problems with your main sewer and water lines can cause structural damage if left untreated. Cracks or sinkholes in your foundation usually require more complex, costly solutions.
