Watch for These Signs

Our sewer lines the majority of the time are out of sight and out of mind.  We rarely think of them until a problem arises, but there are signs that can help us catch a problem before it turns into a catastrophe.  Be on the lookout for strange gurgling sounds in your toilet, drains moving slowly without evidence of a clog, multiple clogs at once in different plumbing fixtures, patches of grass in your yard that are inexplicably greener than the rest of the yard, and unpleasant smells coming from your yard or basement.  If you experience any or all of these symptoms, have your system inspected promptly.  If there is an issue with your sewer line, the sooner it is repaired, the better.
