π¨ Your sewer line could be warning you before disaster strikes.
Most major sewer backups don't happen without signs. The problem is that many homeowners don't recognize the warning signals until sewage is backing up into the basement.
Here are a few red flags to watch for:
β Multiple drains backing up
β Gurgling toilets or drains
β Sewer odors inside or outside your home
β Slow drains throughout the house
β Wet spots appearing in your yard
β Frequent plumbing backups
β Large trees growing near sewer lines
If you're noticing any of these issues, a professional sewer camera inspection can identify the cause before it turns into a costly repair.
