Carlsbad Sewer Line Repair Services
Professionals Dedicated to Fixing Sewer Lines in Carlsbad
The main sewer line is an essential part of a home’s plumbing system. Water and waste from toilets, sinks, tubs, showers, and laundry services all flow into the main sewer line where it is carried out into the city sewer system in Carlsbad. When there is a break or obstruction in the drain, it can affect the entire drainage system causing backups and even flooding. Additionally, Carlsbad homeowners are responsible for all residential sewer line repairs from the city’s connection to the home.
One of the best ways homeowners can prevent problems from damaged or broken main sewer drainage systems is through regular drain cleaning and an annual video camera inspection of the sewer system. At John Stevenson Plumbing, Heating & Air, our team of drain specialists in Carlsbad will thoroughly inspect the drain lines for signs of breaks, cracks, obstructions, or issues that could cause damage in the future. We will provide multiple sewer line repair options tailored to your needs and budget, as well as help prevent future issues.
Common Warning Signs of a Damaged Sewer Line
Sewer line breaks can go undetected for long periods of time, especially if they are underground. If the sewer line is installed under a raised foundation, signs of damage or a break may be more readily apparent, such as damp areas around the home, foul odors inside or outside of the home, or insect infestation.
Most San Diego drain pipes are underground, and all main sewer lines running to the city connection are buried about 6 feet deep. Most older homes have clay or cast iron sewer drain pipes, which are built to last. However, over time, they can begin to deteriorate in the ground for a variety of reasons leading to overflow and blockages.
However, there are signs homeowners can be on the lookout for that should prompt a call to a John Stevenson drain specialist.
Is There a Sewer Gas Odor Around Your Home?
Before providing estimates, our sewer line installation experts perform a full video camera inspection to determine the best method of replacement and to help work within homeowners’ budgets. We will give homeowners multiple options when available so they can make the most informed decision for their needs.
Are You Noticing Extra Green Grass or Lush Patches in Your Yard?
When the main sewer line develops cracks or holes, it allows the nutrients and moisture to leak into the ground. Sewer and drain wastewater act as a natural fertilizer creating lush green areas near the sewer line break.
Is There Indentation in Your Lawn?
Broken sewer lines will often cause the ground above to sink in slightly from all of the moisture. Typically, a sign such as this will appear after a prolonged period of time.
Have You Noticed New Foundation Cracks, Settlement, or Sinkholes?
Leaking water, whether from your sewer line or main water supply system, can lead to major problems with your home’s foundation. If left unchecked, small leaks can be the culprit for cracked patios, cracks in the foundation, and even sinkholes developing over time in the yard.
Is Septic Waste Pooling in Your Yard?
A sure sign of a broken sewer drain is waste pooling in the yard or overflowing from a cleanout. Often, this will follow sewer smells and accompany multiple slow drains inside of the home.
Are You Seeing Mold & Mildew?
Mold and mildew inside bathrooms can also indicate a damaged sewer drain. Upstairs drains leaking behind walls may also cause discoloration and stains on the ceiling. Typically, broken sewer lines will cause frequent backups or leaks at the base of toilets and in tubs or showers. If mold or mildew, or even mildew smells are apparent in the home, it is time to call a professional for a diagnosis.
Experiencing Clogs or Slow Drainage?
One of the earliest signs of a broken or obstructed sewer line is frequent clogs. Because all drains inside the home drain into the main sewer system, if the sewer is clogged, broken, or collapsed, it will cause backups into the home. Often, when there is a problem in the main sewer drain, homeowners will experience gurgling toilets and backed-up tubs or showers. Most of the time, if both of these drains are slow or clogged, it is a mainline issue that needs to be addressed.
