How Do I Know I Have a Sewer Line Repair Problem?

  • Inconsistent Water Levels in the Toilet Bowl

The water levels in your toilet offer a clue as to the condition of your sewer line. It could be a minor problem with a sewer vent line, preventing air from returning into the system. Or you may have a leak further down the line, causing significant water loss.

  • Slow Draining

Slow drainage from your home plumbing may be because of limescale or calcium buildup in the sewer pipes. If the slow drainage issue worsens over time, you may need sewer line and drain cleaning experts to target the debris blocking the passage of water in the line..

  • A Flooded Yard

A flooded yard is a high-alert signal you need emergency plumbing for sewer line repair. Sewer lines are several feet underground, so you may not notice a leak until it begins to reach the ground level. If you recognize a distinct sewage smell in or near your yard, call your local Vancouver plumbers as soon as possible to prevent further damage.

  • Bright Green Grass

Another clear sign of a problem with your main sewer line is bright green grass. The bright green grass results when wastewater fertilizes the soil and enhances the vibrant green colour of your lawn.
