Signs You Need Professional Sewer Maintenance
Sewer line problems don’t always announce themselves all at once. Here are the signs that your sewer system needs attention:
Slow Drains Throughout the Home
When more than one drain is sluggish at the same time, the problem is likely in the main sewer line, not an individual fixture.
Recurring Backups
If your sewer line keeps clogging in the same spot, the underlying issue hasn’t been resolved. A camera inspection can find out why.
Gurgling Sounds
Gurgling from drains or toilets often indicates a partial blockage or a venting problem in the sewer system.
Foul Odors
Sewage smells inside or outside your home usually point to a cracked sewer pipe, a dry trap or a deeper sewer line problem.
Wet Spots or Sinkholes in the Yard
Unexplained wet patches, lush patches of grass or sunken areas in your yard can signal a broken or leaking sewer line underground.
Backed-Up Drains or Toilets
Water backing up into a floor drain, tub or toilet when you run another fixture is a sewer emergency. Call us at 316-779-6378.
If any of these sound familiar, don’t wait for it to get worse. Get in touch with Compass.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most plumbing professionals recommend a sewer line inspection every one to two years for older homes, or any time you notice slow drains, gurgling sounds or sewage odors. Catching sewer line problems early helps you avoid costly sewer line repair or replacement down the road.
Yes. Root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage in residential areas. Tree roots naturally seek out water sources and can work their way into even small cracks in a sewer pipe. A camera inspection can identify root intrusion early so it can be treated before it causes a full blockage or sewer line failure.
We serve Wichita and the surrounding communities, including Andover, Derby, Park City, Valley Center, Maize and Goddard, KS. Even when the zip code changes, the standard of our service doesn’t!
The most common culprits are tree root intrusion, buildup from grease and debris over time, and aging pipes that have simply worn down. Older homes in the Wichita area are especially prone to sewer line issues because many were built with clay or cast iron pipes that deteriorate over decades. Regular maintenance and periodic inspections are the best way to catch problems before they turn into bigger repairs.
