How To Check For Sewer Line Trouble
While it’s easy to notice that something may be wrong with your sewer line, it’s only easy when the problem has become severe. It’s important to know that to look for in the early phases as well.
Keep these tips in mind when looking to spot sewer line problem:
- Bathroom sinks: To check for sewer line issues in your bathroom, start by turning on the water in the sinks. Allow the water to run for one to two minutes, then see if the water in the toilets go up. If not, then there shouldn’t be a problem.
- Toilets: It’s fairly easy to tell if there is a problem with the sewer lines that connect to your toilet. If you notice clogging in your toilet, this is a sure sign that something is wrong. Keep in mind that if you flush the toilets and water comes up through the bathtub or shower, there is an underlying problem with the pipes connecting to your toilet.
- Showers and bathtubs: In most cases, problems with your shower or tub drains are strong indicators of sewer line trouble. Check to make sure the water is properly draining in your shower or tub. If water backs up, then something is wrong with the connecting pipes.
