- Foul odors coming from your drains
- Frequent clogs or water backups
- Gurgling sounds coming from your pipes
- Sudden spike in your water bill
- Soggy grass above your sewer line
- Tree root invasions: Plant roots are one of the leading causes of main line clogs, leaks, and damage. While you can’t necessarily control the direction of root growth, you can reduce your risk by not landscaping near your main line.
- Improperly flushed items: Sewer lines are not designed to handle large items such as paper towels, wet napkins, feminine hygiene products, and diapers. Accidentally flushing improper items puts you at risk of a major clog or backup, so keep an eye on what goes down the drain.
- Fats, oils, and greases (FOG): FOG can wreak havoc on your pipes. Though these substances are liquid while warm, they will harden and congeal as they cool. If they make it down to your main line, they could block your pipes and lead to a massive blockage or backup.
