Sewer & Yard Drains

Signs Your Sewer Line or Yard Drains Need Attention

Knowing what to look for can save you from the unpleasant surprise of drain or sewer malfunctions. Here are some tell-tale signs that it's time to call in the pros:

• Water Pooling: If water gathers in your yard or near your drainage points after rain, it's a sign that your yard drains might be blocked.
• Slow Drains: If your sinks or showers take longer to drain, this could indicate a clog in your system.
• Unpleasant Odors: A distinct, foul odor emanating from your drains or yard could mean that waste isn't being properly transported from your property.
• Gurgling Sounds: Noisy pipes can be a signal of trapped air caused by a clog, warranting a closer look.
• Sewage Backup: The most obvious and dire sign is sewage making an unwelcome return through your drains, indicating a severe blockage.

If you notice any of these symptoms, it's important to act quickly to prevent further damage.

Solutions for Drain Maintenance

Proactive maintenance is the most effective way to keep sewer and yard drain issues at bay. Here's how you can keep things flowing:

• Regular Inspections: Having a professional inspect your drains annually can catch problems before they escalate.
• Clean Outs: Professional cleaning of your yard and sewer drains can remove obstructions that could lead to bigger issues.
• Rooter Service: For sewer lines, a rooter service can cut away intrusive tree roots that threaten to clog or damage pipes.
• Hydro Jetting: This method uses high-pressure water to blast away blockages in sewer lines, leaving pipes clear and clean.
• Preventive Measures: Simple actions, like using strainers in sinks and avoiding pouring grease down the drain, can go a long way in preventing clogs.

Implementing these strategies can help maintain the integrity of your drainage system, but when you need assistance, you’ll need to have a dependable plumber available.
