Sewer Repair

Gurgling sounds 

When flushing your toilet, you should hear a flushing sound. However, something could be wrong if you hear a gurgling sound, but the toilet isn't being used. Chances are, your sewer line is either clogged or damaged. When the water in your toilet has nowhere to go, you could have a significant sewage line issue if you fail to promptly take care of the problem.

Slow-draining toilet 

A toilet that drains slowly could lead to clogs or a sewage backup. The only way to know the severity of a clog is to have it inspected. Then, your sewage line should be professionally cleaned by a highly qualified and experienced Salt Lake City plumber. Don't hesitate to take care of this problem when your sink, bathtub, or toilet drains slowly. This is more urgent if the issue occurs in several drains. 



Backed-up toilet 

If you have toilets that back up with sewage or even clear water, there could be a problem with your plumbing. When this occurs, call a plumbing repair professional immediately.

Have you noticed mold on your walls? This could be another clue you need sewer repair. When pipes and sewage lines are damaged, there's more humidity in your home. This can lead to mildew and mold growing on your walls or even in areas of your home without plumbing fixtures. Therefore, if you've seen discolored walls from mold, call a plumber who can see if there are any sewage line issues or other problems with your plumbing.

Have you been smelling murky, mildew odors in and around your home and near your drains? This could likely be a red light suggesting your sewer line needs to be repaired. Foul odors from drains could be from not using your garbage disposal correctly. Thus, you need the expertise of a licensed plumber to ensure sewer repair.

5. Soft, Puddling spots on your lawn or lush landscape.

Another sign of a sewer line problem is a soggy lawn or landscape. After watering your lawn, it should dry in just a few hours. But if you see puddling in random spots, as well as soft spots, there's a good chance you could have a problem with your sewer line. 

On the other hand, sometimes a sewer line issue is detected by specific spots on a lawn suddenly becoming exceptionally lush and green. Have you noticed plants that unexpectedly emerged without needing any fertilizer? Even though this may look good, it could still be a warning that something is amiss underneath a sewage line.

OTHER CONSIDERATIONS AND WARNINGS

• Be suspicious if you've noticed a fluctuating water level in your toilets. In other words, the water level is low on one day, while it's higher the following day.

• Low water pressure can be a sign something is wrong with your plumbing. For the plumbing to work correctly, you need to have good water pressure. Thus, if the water pressure from your shower or faucet is not good, you may have a clog. Or, you could have a buildup in these pipes. It could also suggest an issue with your sewer.

• Consider sewage attracts pests. If you've noticed rats, mice, bugs, and other pests gathering around your house, it could be because your sewage line is attracting these pests. Mosquitoes are especially attracted to sewage. Besides calling sewer line repair in Salt Lake City, you'll also need a pest control specialist. 

• Don't risk your health by having a bad sewage line. Consider that cholera, dysentery, and other diseases are linked with poor sanitation.
