Signs You May Need Sewer Repair
Recurring Drain Backups

Multiple Slow Drains
When several drains throughout your home or business are slow at the same time, the issue may be more than an individual clogged drain.
Sewage Odors
Persistent sewer smells around your property can indicate a damaged or compromised sewer line.
Unusual Sounds
Gurgling or bubbling sounds from toilets and drains can be a warning sign of a sewer line problem.
Soggy or Unusually Green Areas
Unexpectedly wet or unusually green areas in your yard can sometimes indicate a leaking or damaged underground sewer line.
Sewer Backups
Sewage coming back into a sink, tub, shower or floor drain needs prompt attention.

How Do Plumbers Find a Sewer Line Problem?
Sewer problems aren’t always visible from the surface. Our plumbers use the symptoms, plumbing inspections and available diagnostic methods to help locate the source of the problem without unnecessary digging.
Sewer Camera Inspection
A specialized camera can be sent through the sewer line to help identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, breaks and other problems inside the pipe.
Sewer Line Locating
When the location of a damaged or blocked sewer line needs to be identified, locating equipment can help determine where the line is and where the problem may be occuring.
Plumbing Inspection & Diagnostics
We evaluate the symptoms, inspect the plumbing system and use the appropriate diagnostic methods to help determine the cause of the sewer problem and the best path forward.
What Causes Sewer Line Problems?
Sewer lines can develop problems for several reasons. Some issues happen gradually as pipes age, while others can result from roots, shifting soil or damage to the line.
Tree Root Intrusion
Tree roots can grow into small cracks, corrosion, seperated joints or collapsed sections.
Aging or Deteriorating Pipes
Older sewer lines can deteriorate over time, leading to cracks, corrosion, seperated joint or collapsed sections.
Shifting Soil
Changes in the soil around a sewer line can cause pipes to shift, settle or seperate, affecting proper wastewater flow.
Clogs & Buildup
Grease, debris and other materials can accumulate inside a sewer line, creating restrictions and recurring backups.
Broken or Collapsed Sewer Lines
Severe damage can cause a section of the sewer line to break or collapse, preventingwastewater from flowing properly.
A sewer line problem doesn’t always have an obvious cause. Some issues develope slowly as pipes age, while others may be caused by tree roots, shifting soil, buildup or damage underground. If you’re expecting recurring backups or other warning signs, Mastco Plumbing can help identify what’s going on and explain your options.
What Happens If a Sewer Problem is Left Unrepaired?
A sewer problem rarely gets better on its own. What may start as an occasional back up or slow drain can develop into recurring sewage backups, property damage to the sewer line. Addressing the problem early can help prevent a small issue from becoming a much larger repair.
Recurring Backups
A damaged or restricted sewer line can cause wastewater to repeatedly back up into sinks, tubs, showers or floor drains.
Health & Sanitation Concerns
Sewage exposure can create unpleasant odors and sanitation concerns that should be addressed promptly.
Property Damage
Sewer backups and leaking underground lines can damage flooring, walls, landscaping and other areas of your property.
More Extensive Plumbing Repairs
Ignoring a sewer problem can allow damage to worsen, potentially turning a repair into a larger replacement project.
If you’re noticing recurring backups, multiple slow drains, sewage odors or other warning signs, don’t wait for the problem to get worse. Mastco Plumbing can evaluate the situation, help identify the cause and explain the repair or replacement options available for your property.
