The Warning Signs
A few of the warning signs that your plumbing way be failing are:
Slow Moving Drains
Drainage speed is a great indicator of a possible future plumbing issue. Drainage speed slowing is a sign of a possible blockage building up within your piping system. Blockages can lead to much bigger issues so it is important to quickly and effectively remove the blockage before your piping system begins to fail.
Clogged Drains
Multiple clogged drains is a sign of a serious future pipe failure. Clogged drains can cause large amounts of water to become clogged in certain areas of your home’s plumbing. This is turn can cause a burst in your plumbing system.
Soggy Patches of Grass
When sewer lines break, the water has only one place to go, and that is into the ground. As this wastewater collects it will begin pooling in areas throughout your yard. This is a telltale sign that there has been a break in your home’s piping system.
Bad Odor
Just like with soggy patches of grass, when a sewer line breaks and sends wastewater throughout your yard you will be able to literally smell the wastewater that is pooling throughout your yard. This is turn means there could be a crack in your plumbing system.
