Here are the signs of a broken sewer pipe in Muskegon, Michigan.
1. Regular blockages
or sewage backups
One-off blockages might be solved by a thorough sewer system repair, but
if your home suffers from regular blockages or even in sewage backups
in your home, then a leakage somewhere along the sewer is the likely
culprit.
Without having a survey done in your sewer and drains, it
can be tough to differentiate between a blockage and damage to the pipe itself.
If you’ve suffered numerous cases of blocked drains in your
home, a CCTV survey will identify any damage that is impeding the function of
your drains. After that, the problem can be sorted out once and for all.
2. Smell of sewage
This is probably one of the first symptoms that you’re likely to notice.
Smelling a foul sewage smell around your drains or in your home could indicate
damage somewhere along the sewer pipe. Again, this might disappear
after having your drains unblocked, but if you have a collapsed drain the smell
will return in due course.
As soon as you notice a strong sewage smell around your property,
contact professional sewer and drains contractors to fix the
issue as soon as possible
3. Rodent infestations
You might think yourself incredibly unlucky to have sewer and rat
trouble at the same time, but the truth is they could easily be related. When a
sewer is damaged – cracked or collapsed – it becomes open to intrusion from the
outside. If you believe rats have infested your home through your sewer
systems, a professional pest control company will be able to deal with
the main infestation, while drainage contractors can repair
your sewer and drains to prevent future infestations.
4. Damp or mold
When your sewer system is damaged, the flow of water
through your home will be affected. This can lead to wastewater creating damp
patches on your walls around where your pipes have been damaged. Damp leads to
mold, which creates an unhealthy living environment for children and the
elderly in particular. If mold has begun to appear in your home and is
accompanied by a sewer smell, it’s possible that you have a collapsed sewer and
drain on your hands
