The Signs of a Broken Sewer Main
Recognizing a sewer main issue early can help prevent serious property damage and costly repairs. Keep an eye out for the following:
- Persistent sewer gas odors. A strong sewage smell in your yard or around your property is one of the clearest warning signs of a damaged sewer main. These odors occur when waste gases escape through cracks or breaks in the line.
- Unusually green or soggy patches in your yard. If you notice sections of your lawn that are suddenly greener or wetter than the surrounding areas, it may indicate leaking wastewater underground.
- Multiple drain backups at once. When sinks, tubs, and toilets all begin backing up simultaneously, the issue is often not isolated to one fixture. Instead, it typically points to a blockage or break in the main sewer line affecting the entire system.
- Gurgling sounds from your plumbing fixtures. Air trapped in the system due to a compromised sewer line can cause bubbling or gurgling noises in drains and toilets, especially after flushing or running water elsewhere in the home.
Seismic Stability and Soil Composition
The specific geology along the Wasatch Fault means our local sewer lines are subject to more ground movement than in other regions. This shifting can cause "bellies" or low spots in a sewer line where waste collects and eventually hardens, even if the pipe isn't fully broken.
We account for these regional soil conditions when performing repairs, focusing on stabilizing the bedding of your pipes to help prevent future sagging or offset joints that are so common in the Salt Lake Valley’s unique terrain.
