How to Know if You Need Drain Repairs
Since a quick clean is not the answer for deeper repair, you will need our sewer and drain professionals to take a much more thorough investigation of your drains. Of course, many homeowners do not usually know that their drain has extensive issues until the clogged contents and waste come back up the sink, and by then it’s often too late. To help you figure out if your pipes are being plagued by these nearly invisible issues, here are some signs that it is time to call in the experts to assess the condition of your drains and/or sewer system.
Typical signs that your drain needs to be fixed include:
- The drainage is very slow, causing large pools of water to form
- Sewage has accumulated in large amounts
- The water pressure is very low, leading to limited water running from sinks or showers
- Strange lumps, humps, and valleys appear throughout the lawn
- Unusually vibrant green patches appear in certain parts of your grass
- Rotten, sulfur-like odors come from your drains
- Consistently wet or damp spots which keep gathering on the floors or walls
- Odd sounds of gulping, gurgling, or bubbling in your pipes
- Abnormally large infestations of rodents and insects, particularly those that survive well in pools of liquid or damp spaces (such as mosquitos)
