Regular inspection of sewage pipes can prevent a multitude of issues, including leaks, cracks, and the resulting release of unsafe gas or liquids. Regardless of whether there are symptoms of a problem, these regular checks are excellent preventative measures and can ultimately save a homeowner quite a bit of money.
Signs of Leakage
Knowing a few signs of a leak or issue in your home’s piping will help you recognize a problem and initiate a repair significantly faster. The most obvious way to detect a sewage leak is by smelling something bad or seeing leakage in the lawn. Usually, if there a leak in your home’s yard, it will result in a particularly fertile portion of grass which has been absorbing the moisture and nutrients. If your pipes seem to back up more easily and the shower isn’t draining well, this could signify a blockage caused by roots, debris, grease, and much more. Click here for more details.
