Annual drain cleaning helps your indoor plumbing last longer and significantly reduces the chances of clogs, drain flies, odors, and other nuisances from happening. Drain cleaning is especially a good idea before the big holidays of the year when guests and feasting put more stress on your plumbing. This is why we recommend that our customers schedule regular drain cleaning services.
There’s a key part of your outdoor plumbing that needs attention as well, although not as often: your sewer line. A sewer line will eventually become clogged and even develop major blockages because of tree root growth. We offer sewer cleaning in Panama City, FL, and in this post we want to help you know when it’s time to arrange for this important service—and why it’s so important.
Signs It’s Time to Schedule Sewer Cleaning
Frequent Clogs Throughout the House
If you’re experiencing frequent clogs or slow drains in different areas of your home, it may indicate a blockage in the main sewer line. While individual clogs are usually confined to one drain, multiple slow or backed-up drains are a red flag that your sewer line might be the issue.
Persistent Foul Odors
One of the earliest signs of sewer line trouble is the smell of sewage. If you notice a foul odor coming from your drains or outside near the sewer line access, it’s time to call in professionals. These smells are often caused by waste and debris trapped in the line, which can lead to a serious backup if not resolved.
Gurgling Sounds in the Plumbing
When you hear unusual gurgling noises from your toilets or drains, it may indicate a problem with the sewer line. These noises are typically caused by trapped air from a blockage trying to escape through your plumbing fixtures.
Flooded or Soggy Areas in the Yard
If you notice wet or soggy patches in your yard, it’s possible that your sewer line has a blockage or leak. This is especially true if these spots smell like sewage. Tree roots are a common cause of sewer line damage, as they naturally grow toward the moisture in your sewer pipes and can cause cracks or blockages.
Increased Pest Activity
A sewer line issue can attract pests, especially rodents and insects that are drawn to the odors coming from the blockage. If you’ve noticed an unusual increase in pests around your home, particularly near your drains or yard, it may be time for a sewer line inspection and cleaning.
Why Sewer Cleaning Is Essential
Addressing sewer line issues early on can prevent extensive damage to your plumbing and avoid costly repairs. Regular sewer cleaning clears away debris, buildup, and any roots that may be growing into the line, protecting your plumbing from potential breaks and backups.
