Signs You Have a Sewer Line Problem

Sewer line issues can start small but lead to serious damage if not addressed early. From unusual drain behavior to yard damage, knowing what to look for can help you act before things get worse. Here are some of the most common signs that you may have a sewer line problem.

  • Frequent drain clogs
    If multiple drains in your home are clogging at once, it could indicate a blockage in the main sewer line.
  • Slow drainage
    Water draining slowly from sinks, tubs, or toilets—especially across different rooms—can point to a sewer line issue.
  • Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
    Unusual gurgling or bubbling noises are often caused by trapped air in the pipes due to a blockage or damage.
  • Sewage odors inside or outside your home
    Persistent foul smells coming from drains, the yard, or basement are a red flag for sewer line trouble.
  • Sewage backups
    Water or waste backing up into tubs, showers, or toilets is one of the most obvious and urgent signs of a sewer line issue.
  • Soggy patches in your yard
    Unexplained wet spots or extra green grass may indicate a leaking or broken underground sewer pipe.
  • Foundation cracks or sinkholes
    Severe sewer line damage can lead to soil erosion, potentially causing cracks in your foundation or minor sinkholes.
  • Increased pest activity
    Rodents and insects are attracted to broken sewer lines, especially if there's a leak allowing access.

Wow, everything has turned out so great! And less than those bigger companies and a lot nicer to talk to! 😊 My basement was a mess, beware when buying a flipped house! 🀯 Long story short, because my sewer line inside my house was painted, I had to have it replaced. I also needed a new boiler and hot water heater due to age and my wet basement. So I decided to go energy efficient. 🌱 Oh and not to forget my new utility sink, with plumbing that works and a handy spray spout. Thank you so much to Trevor and Jeff, they did an awesome job with all the installations. Everything went very quickly with few issues, thankfully. They are very pleasant and easy to work with. I was having other work done in the basement and they worked with my scheduling. I'm looking forward to doing more business with Tom Falk Plumbing & Heating! My new go to!! 😊

Was great. Jeff took care of everything. Arrived promptly. Very knowledgeable and neat. Will definitely use this company again.

Conscientious, skilled and informative owner/employees. When I first used Tom Falk Plumbing is 8 years ago when I bought in the city and that winter with single digit temps a pipe burst. They were great. I have used them for so many plumbing upgrades & services: a new toilet, sink/tub fixtures, unclogging sluggish drains. I have been always happy with their work, and highly recommend this business.

Tom was available at short notice and helpful in reviewing the plumbing of our new home. He was friendly and his expertise reassured me. Thanks Tom! I know who to reach should any issue or maintenance arise.
I called 3 plumbers and left messages. Tom Falk were the only ones to return my call. I'm glad they called, I explained my issue and he had a someone there within the hour. Very professional and curtious. They had me fixed up in no time. I have a new plumber. Thanks Ken Watts
Tom is awesome, trustworthy and perfect for us in Millersville. There when you need him and flexible when it’s not an emergency. Can’t speak highly enough.
Great service and pricing to tighten a kitchen faucet which I would have done myself if only I were 30 years younger.
Extremely satisfied and grateful for the prompt service and quick and efficient completion of job. Highly recommend.
