How To Tell If The Pipes In Your Sewer Are Damaged With A Plumber Las Vegas

By Carlene Eriksson


Sewer systems are one of those things that most homeowners don't think about. After all, you are just happy that everything goes down the drain and you never have to see it again. Unfortunately, things can go wrong with your sewer system, and damaged pipes are a common repair for any plumber Las Vegas.

Since repairing the sewage line is critical for preventing the spread of illness, you should always be alert for these signs that your pipe has sustained damage that can only be fixed by your plumber.

Old sewer pipes quite often fail. If you've got an older house, know that pipes made of cast iron can only last about 25 to 30 years. When things are only a little bit off, you might see a sink or toilet that drains slowly.

It may seem as if clogs happen more often, or you may notice a terrible odor emanating from your drains. If your shower or sink drain stills seems to move slowly after you have cleared out obvious debris, then you should have the sewage lines checked to make sure that there is not a problem deeper in the system.

You won't necessarily be able to see obviously where the system is broken. In the wall is where one break might occur. If these breaks occur in a scarcely used room, the walls can grow so moist that they can even grow dangerous forms of mold. An awful stench sometimes accompanies such leaks.

You might all of a sudden have your hands full with sewer problems, because that's common. If you have a pest problem, like roaches or rats, pest control might refer you to a plumbing professional because plumbing issues may be the cause of that problem. These pests can fit through the tiniest cracks, and so you'll soon be seeing a lot of them if you don't deal with the problem. You'll not only be grossed out when you see a cockroach in the tub, but it also tells you that you need to get your line inspected right away.
