For this reason, if you start to notice any signs that your sewer system might be experiencing some trouble, it is important to act fast and contact an emergency plumber for an inspection. Catching and resolving a small plumbing problem early on is the key to avoiding costly plumbing disasters.

If so, you might be looking at the most common sign of a busted or blocked sewer line. If an underground sewage pipe is leaking or cracked open, it is essentially fertilizing your lawn, which as biology shows us, renders greener, lusher grass. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Stagnant Water on the Lawn<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Some puddling every now and again after a storm is normal. But if your lawn doesn\u2019t seem to drain its puddles fast enough, or at all, it could be a sign that your sewer line is cracked. A cracked main line, broken septic tank, and obstructions in a drain field can all cause water and sewage to release, which eventually pools into puddles on the surface of the lawn. This can also cause lingering odors, as you would imagine, which is another common indication of a problematic sewer system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Sewer Odors<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As just mentioned above, another common sign that suggests there is something going wrong within your sewer line system is a lingering sewer smell. If sewage water is leaking underground or pooling on the surface, you can guarantee it will carry its odors with it. Such odors can also attract unwanted nuisance wildlife and pests, which can be a threat to people, pets, and property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Slow Draining<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your drains are draining slower than usual, you might want to focus your attention on your sewer lines. That is because slow drains are a common sign of a backed-up or clogged sewer line. If you have just one or two isolated drains that drains slowly, you likely have a standard clogged drain issue. But if all of your plumbing fixture drains are draining slow, such as the bathtub, kitchen sink, bathroom sinks, and showers, then it is likely your sewer lines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Repair a Broken Sewer Line in Indianapolis<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Call Weilhammer Plumbing Co.
