Handling a backed-up drain line, overflowed toilet, or septic system failure before you have extensive sewage damage is not an easy feat. That is why it is important to identify the symptoms of a potential failure early – before it turns into a catastrophic event.
Noticing an odd sound when you flush the toilet or run your faucet? This could be the presence of air bubbles within the drain line, resulting from a small leak within the pipe. This sound could be the first sign an issue is forming and needs to be addressed before you have sewage damage.
Do you notice your toilet is flushing slower than normal, or your kitchen sink is taking longer to drain? A leak or clog could be present or forming within your drain lines.
Under normal circumstances, you will never smell raw sewage coming from your drain lines. If you detect an odd, distasteful smell, it is time to call a professional to rectify the situation quickly. The longer you wait, the worse the damage could be.
Every property has a sewer line running from the city service or septic tank. If you notice water pooling around those areas, call a professional right away. This presence indicates an issue with your sewer line and could cause severe sewage damage to your home or business.
