Is That Lush Grass From Your Sewer?

If you notice areas of lush grass in your yard and they can’t be attributed to your landscaping skills, you may have a sewer leak. Should you leave it alone? While that patch of grass may look pretty, it could signify a major problem with your sewer line.

What Are the 10 Signs of a Sewer Leak?

Sewer leaks can be easy to spot if you know what to look for. The following 10 signs can indicate you have a sewer leak:

Areas of lush grass or ground cover
Cracks in the foundation or driveway
Sinkholes, or soft and soggy areas of ground
Gurgling sounds in your toilet
Pest infestations, such as rats and flies
Really bad smells either inside or outside your home
A dramatic rise in water bill
Toilets that don’t flush correctly
All drains in your home are slow
Low water pressure in every faucet

Aside from the health hazards that leaky sewer pipes generate, it’s important to repair them to maintain the value of your home. In some areas, you can be fined for not repairing leaky sewer pipes because they release bacteria, toxic gases, and viruses into the air and are considered a health hazard.

What’s the Solution to a Sewer Leak?

Generally, fixing a sewer leak is not a DIY project, and it’s best to contact a professional plumber to locate the leak. Not only is this a complicated process, but there may be more than one leak.

It’s essential to address the leak, however, because a sewer leak can cause structural damage and the sewage can back up into your home. Also, most homeowner insurance policies don’t cover repairs to the sewer line, so you’ll be entirely responsible for the cost of any repairs. The longer you wait, the more costly the repair.

A professional plumber has many tools to locate and diagnose the problem. Procedures such as sewer cameras, smoke testing, and water/dye tests mean the entire yard won’t need to be destroyed to locate the leak.
