Dana Point Sewer Line Services
You can tell that your sewer system needs professional servicing by paying attention to numerous clues. For example, slow drainage throughout the house can suggest a problem deeper than a single clogged drain. It could have a partially collapsed line or tree roots growing into it.
Tree root intrusion can also cause water to back up inside your home. For example, instead of water draining from your washer, it could spill over onto the utility room or basement floor. Likewise, you may also see pools of water in your landscaping.
Backed-up water can cause serious problems, such as fungal growth. You could soon have mildew growing in the crawlspace, the basement, or around the utility room drain. Standing water in the yard and lower areas of your home likewise attracts pests like gnats, mosquitoes, and beetles. It can additionally make the inside of your home smell musty and unpleasant.
Sometimes, the clues that your sewer system needs attention are more subtle. For example, you might hear bubbling and gurgling sounds coming from the drains. These noises often indicate that air is trapped somewhere in the sewer line.
A sewer system in need of repair can also damage your home’s foundation. The foundation can crack and shift. Long-term leaks in the sewer system can significantly weaken the soil under your house, eventually damaging the foundation.
Shifting and eroding soil from sewer line leaks can also create depressions in the landscaping. You may notice small dips or sinkholes. However, some parts of the landscaping may look lusher than usual. Left alone, these small depressions can grow larger and become more expensive to repair later.
Additionally, older properties in coastal areas, such as Dana Point, are more prone to sewer problems. Many aging properties have cast-iron or clay sewer lines that can corrode and crack over time. If your property is over 40 years old, you may need to hire our team more frequently to service its sewer system.
