warning signs of a sewer line problem

It’s every homeowner’s worst nightmare – no, not waking up to a broken coffee maker on a Monday morning – but instead, having to deal with sewer line problems. The thing about sewer line problems is, well, they’re frustrating. They disrupt the routines of your family since your showers, bathtubs, and sinks likely don’t drain with the issue occurring. You also likely can’t flush your toilet without having a mess on your bathroom floor to clean up.

Not just that, but many sewer line problems could cost you hundreds or even thousands of dollars to get diagnosed and taken care of. Also, to fix the problem, you may have to deal with a dug-up lawn for days, or even weeks, until the problem is resolved.

Fortunately, sewer line problems could come with some bit of warning to let you know trouble is afoot before it turns into a full-blown disaster in your home. Check out the infographic below to see what some of the most common warning signs are of a sewer line problem.

Want to protect your family’s sewer lines?

Consider enrolling in the Sewer Line Protection Program from American Water Resources. Many people will question why they need to enroll in this extra protection if they already have homeowners’ insurance. Unfortunately, many standard policies don’t cover problems with sewer lines. So, when a problem happens, you’re left to cover the bill. That is, unless you have protection from a home warranty provider like us!

Our sewer line warranty covers clogs and blockages from normal wear and tear, inspections, and any permits/equipment/backfilling needed if a repair needs to be performed to your line. See our terms and conditions for more information.
