Warning signs of a failing sewer line
Sewer lines rarely fail all at once. These are the signs that usually show up first, and the earlier they're checked, the more repair options tend to remain.
- Several drains slow at the same time
- Gurgling from toilets when other fixtures run
- A sewage smell inside or in the yard
- Clogs that come back soon after clearing
- A lush green or soggy strip over the sewer line
Only one drain slow? That's more often a clog in that line. Drain cleaning
Helpful to have ready when you call
- Which drains are affected, and since when
- Whether it has happened before, and what was done
- Where the cleanout is, if you know
- Large trees near where the line runs

Questions
La Habra sewer line FAQ
Short answers about early warning signs and repair choices. Anything else, call and ask.
Noticing the signs? Describe them when you call. You don't need a diagnosis.
Call (562) 273-9788What are the first signs of a sewer line problem?
Several drains slowing at once, gurgling toilets, a sewage smell, and clogs that return soon after clearing are the most common early signs.
Why is the grass greener over my sewer line?
A leak in an underground sewer line can feed the soil above it, so a strip of unusually lush or soggy grass along the line can be a sign of a crack or break.
What should I do while waiting for help with a backup?
Stop running water and flushing so no more water goes into the line, and keep children and pets away from the affected area.
How is sewer line replacement different from a repair?
A repair fixes one damaged section. Replacement puts in a new line, either by digging it out or, where it fits, by trenchless pipe bursting. The condition of the whole line decides which makes sense.
