Unfortunately, detecting a sewer line leak often comes with some difficulty since they are located underground. This is even more troubling since it is vital to catch a leak in its earliest stages in order to prevent costly repairs and renovations. However, with routine plumbing inspections provided by a licensed plumber, you can ensure that your home\u2019s sewer lines are in optimal condition. It also helps to know what the signs are for a sewer line leak. This knowledge will help you catch a leak early enough to prevent a sewer line disaster. <\/p>\n<h1>Here are some signs of a sewer line leak:<\/h1>\n<p>&#10149; <strong>Sounds of running water, even when water is shut off.<\/strong> <font color=\"#8c8c8c\">If you hear water running inside the walls after you turn off your faucets, there could be a sewer line leak.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#10149; <strong>Floor feels soft, moist, or appears discolored.<\/strong> <font color=\"#8c8c8c\">If an area of your floor seems moist or soft, or has changed color in a certain spot, or all three, it could be a result of pooling water around the sewer line leak.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#10149; <strong>Odors emitting from walls or floors.<\/strong> <font color=\"#8c8c8c\">If you smell a musty or strange odor near certain areas of your walls or floors, it could be from water accumulation resulting from a leak.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#10149; <strong>Noticeable landscaping or grade changes.<\/strong> <font color=\"#8c8c8c\">Settling waste water from a sewer line leak can cause unusual plant growth patterns, as well as, sunken or wet patches in lawns.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#10149; <strong>A sudden rodent problem.<\/strong> <font color=\"#8c8c8c\">Rodents are attracted to settling waste water and the insects it attracts.<\/font><\/p>\n<p>&#10149; <strong>An unusually high water bill.<\/strong> <font color=\"#8c8c8c\">Leaks mean that your home is using more water than you think you are using. This leads to an unexpected costly water bill.<\/font><\/p>\n<h2>What Should You Do?<\/h2>\n<p><div id=\"attachment_895\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Weilhammer-Plumbing-Company-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1493755914886.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-895\" src=\"https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Weilhammer-Plumbing-Company-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1493755914886-300x268.jpg\" alt=\"Weilhammer Plumbing Company 317-784-1870\" width=\"300\" height=\"268\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-895\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Weilhammer-Plumbing-Company-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1493755914886-300x268.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Weilhammer-Plumbing-Company-Indianapolis-Indiana-e1493755914886.jpg 423w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-895\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Weilhammer Plumbing Company 317-784-1870<\/p><\/div>If you notice one or more of the above signs, it is vital that you contact our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.weilhammerplumbing.com\" target=\"_blank\">Indianapolis plumbing company<\/a> right away.
