 A damaged sewer line can create repeated plumbing problems throughout the property. Sewer pipes can fail due to age, roots, shifting soil, poor installation, corrosion, bellies in the line, separation at joints, or collapsed pipe.

Common sewer line problems include:

• Sewer backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains 
• Multiple drains clogged at the same time 
• Toilets bubbling or gurgling 
• Bad sewer odors inside or outside the home 
• Slow drains throughout the property 
• Wet or sunken areas in the yard 
• Sewage coming up outside 
• Recurring drain stoppages 
• Broken, cracked, or collapsed sewer pipe 
• Sewer problems under the slab or foundation 

If you are having repeated sewer issues, the problem may be deeper than a simple drain clog.

A sewer camera inspection can help locate problems inside the sewer line and show what is causing the issue. This can help determine whether the line has roots, breaks, low spots, separation, buildup, or a collapsed section.

A camera inspection may be recommended when you have:

• Repeat sewer backups 
• A sewer line that keeps clogging 
• Suspected root intrusion 
• An older sewer system 
• Possible broken sewer pipe 
• Sewer issues before buying or selling a property 
• Drain problems that keep coming back after cleaning 

Finding the actual cause of the problem helps prevent guessing and unnecessary repairs.

Broken sewer pipes should be repaired as soon as possible to prevent property damage, sewage exposure, and more expensive plumbing issues. Depending on the location and condition of the line, sewer repair may involve spot repair, pipe replacement, excavation, tunneling, or other repair methods.

Junior and Son Plumbing can evaluate the sewer issue and explain the best repair options based on your property, pipe material, access, and long-term needs.

Sewer lines often run underground from the home or building to the city sewer tap or septic system. If the problem is located in the yard, excavation may be needed to access and repair the damaged pipe.

Signs of a yard sewer problem may include:

• Sewage surfacing outside 
• Soft or soggy spots in the yard 
• Strong sewer smell near the line 
• Unusually green grass over the sewer path 
• Repeated main line stoppages 
• Sunken areas in the yard 

Our team can help locate the issue and perform the repair with a focus on protecting your property and restoring proper sewer flow.

 Some sewer lines run under the concrete slab foundation. Sewer problems under a slab can be more complex and may require careful diagnosis before repair work begins.

Possible signs of a sewer issue under the slab include:

• Sewer smell inside the home 
• Slow drains with no obvious cause 
• Repeated backups 
• Cracks or settlement concerns 
• Moisture near floors or walls 
• Camera inspection showing a break under the foundation 

Junior and Son Plumbing has experience with more involved sewer repair situations and can help explain the options clearly.
