How Often Should You Have Your Sewer Line Inspected?

You should have your sewer line inspected every two years, even if you do not notice any issues with your sewer line. Routine inspections can help catch any concerns early such as blockages or damage, allowing you to minimize damage, prevent costly repairs, and prevent plumbing disruptions. If your sewer line is a bit older or has had a history of issues, you may want to consider more frequent sewer line inspections.

Signs That You Should Have Your Sewer Line Inspected

Slow Drains: When multiple drains in your home are draining slowly, you will likely have an issue with your sewer line. Slow drainage is often caused by sewer line blockages, tree root damage, and line deterioration. A sewer line inspection can help identify the exact cause of your slow drains.

Foul Odors: Nobody likes foul odors in their home or on their property. If you notice foul odors emanating from your drains or in your yard, your sewer line may be damaged. Sewer line gas leaks are often the reason for the smell which can be caused by cracks or leaks in the sewer line.

Backups and Overflows: If you experience frequent backups or overflows in your plumbing fixtures, it is a clear indication of a sewer line issue. Blockages or damage in the sewer line can cause wastewater to back up into your home, leading to unsanitary conditions and potential health hazards. Prompt sewer line inspection and repairs are needed to prevent further damage and restore the functionality of your plumbing fixtures.

Lush Patches of Grass: Unexpectedly lush patches of grass in your yard, particularly near the sewer line, can indicate a leak or break in the line. Sewage acts as a fertilizer, causing the surrounding vegetation to thrive. If you notice unusually green and healthy areas in your yard, it's important to have your sewer line inspected to identify and address any potential issues.
