Signs of Sewer Issues

Recognizing the signs of sewer problems is essential for prompt intervention and preventing potential disasters. 

Some common indicators include:

  • Backups and blockages: If multiple drains in your home are backing up simultaneously or if you notice gurgling noises, it could indicate a sewer line issue.
  • Foul odors: Unpleasant smells emanating from drains or the yard can be a sign of sewer problems.
  • Slow drains: Sluggish drainage in various fixtures could suggest a blockage or damage in the sewer line.
  • Lush patches of grass: An unusually green and lush patch in your yard could be a sign of a sewer line leak.
  • Foundation cracks: In severe cases, a compromised sewer line can lead to foundation issues, visible through cracks in your home's foundation.

Recognizing these indicators is the first step in safeguarding your home's plumbing. If you notice any of the signs above, call us immediately. We will decipher these signs and provide the proper solutions, ensuring the health and longevity of your sewer system.

5 Tips on How to Prevent Clogged Sewer Lines

Clogged sewer lines can cause major plumbing issues and expensive repairs. Preventing blockages before they happen can save you time and money. Here are five practical tips to keep your sewer lines clear:

  • Avoid Flushing Non-Flushable Items: Do not flush wipes, sanitary products, paper towels, or even food scraps down the toilet. These items can quickly build up and cause blockages.
  • Install Drain Screens: Use drain screens in sinks, showers, and tubs to catch hair, soap scum, and debris before they enter the sewer system.
  • Be Mindful of What Goes Down the Garbage Disposal: Avoid pouring grease, oil, and fibrous foods (like celery or corn husks) down the disposal, as these can congeal and clog pipes.
  • Regularly Flush with Hot Water: Run hot water through your pipes weekly to help break down grease buildup and keep things flowing smoothly.
  • Schedule Annual Professional Inspections: Have a plumber inspect and clean your sewer lines yearly to catch potential problems before they escalate.

By following these tips, you can help prevent costly and inconvenient sewer line clogs.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between a sewer and a drain?

A drain is part of your home's plumbing system that carries wastewater from individual fixtures, such as sinks or bathtubs, to the sewer line. The sewer line, on the other hand, carries all wastewater from your home to the public sewer system or a septic tank for processing.

What are the different types of sewer systems?

There are two main types of sewer systems:

  • Separate Sewer Systems: These systems have separate pipes for carrying wastewater and stormwater.
  • Combined Sewer Systems: These systems carry both wastewater and stormwater in the same pipe, which can sometimes lead to overflows during heavy rain.

What is the purpose of the sewer system?

The purpose of the sewer system is to safely transport wastewater and waste materials away from your home or building to a treatment facility, ensuring public health and environmental protection.

How does sewer service differ in San Francisco?

In San Francisco, the city's regulations require licensed contractors, like Atlas Plumbing & Rooter, to handle sewer work all the way from your home to the street, ensuring that we meet the city's stringent standards for sewer maintenance and repairs.
