How Does the Sewage System Work?

When wastewater is flushed or drained, it travels out and away from your house via the underground sewer line on your property to a large municipal sewer line and eventually to your city’s water reclamation facility. This process can only happen when there are no blockages and everything is running smoothly.

However, when wastewater flowing out from your house encounters a clog somewhere in the sewer line, it cannot go any further. Instead, the raw sewage backs-up into your home, usually entering through low points such as basements, floor drains, toilets, and septic tanks.

This can lead to damage to your home and your possessions. It is not usually a quick-fix, either. In this situation, not just one sink or toilet is stopped-up, but every drain in your home is affected.

Signs of Your Sewer Line Needs Inspection

It is important to be aware of the signs of sewage problems so that you can take action and protect yourself and your family from potential harm.

Common signs your sewage line needs repair or maintenance include: 

• Odor: If you notice a foul odor, this indicates that you may have a dried out or broken seal that is allowing sewer gasses back up into your drains and in your home. This can potentially be extremely dangerous as these gasses contain Hydrogen sulfide, which can be toxic at low levels.
• Gurgling drains: If you begin to hear gurgling in your drains or after you flush your toilet, this is an indication that you may have a clog somewhere in your sewage line. 
• Green lawn: When the grass in your lawn appears to be greener and healthier in just one spot, this is a sign that your sewer line may have ruptured or is leaking.
• Slow drainage: If your drains are taking longer to work, this can be a signal that your sewer line is clogged and is in need of repair.
• Sinkholes: If your lawn appears to have patches of wetter grass, this may be due to a broken sewer line. In some cases, the pavement near the damaged area can crack as well. It’s important to seek immediate help from a plumber as this can be dangerous for yourself and others.
