If there’s one part of an infrastructure that often gets taken for granted, it’s the sewer lines. Think about it: All day long, day in and day out, sewer lines are performing a critically important task by transporting wastewater and sewage from and into a public system or private septic site, yet rarely does anyone think about their drains and the important job they do – that is, until a problem occurs.

Sewer line clogs and leaks can be more than a hassle – they can cause health-related issues from contamination of your soil, the air – even your drinking water supply. Plus, a clogged sewer line can eventually become backed up, bringing with it all the waste it would normally carry away.

At Associated Plumbing, we specialize in sewer line repair, helping property owners get the service and attention they need when they need it to avoid costly messes and contamination and get their plumbing – and their lives – back on track.

The best way to avoid a major sewer line repair is to call our office at the first sign of a problem. Here are some common signs to watch out for:

• Gurgling sounds in the pipes when you’re using the sink, dishwasher, tub or washing machine (often, gurgling noises occur in drains that are not being directly used)
• Sluggish drains that don’t respond to plunging
• Water rising in your toilet when you run the tub or bathroom sink
• Water backing up in the tub or sink drain when the toilet is flushed
• Water backing up into a drain when a washer or dishwasher is running
• Washing machine that has slow drainage or fails to drain
• Unexplained wet areas of your yard, especially over sewer lines (if you know where they run)
• Pungent odor of sewage in your home or yard
