1. 5 Signs To Look Out For
A Broken Sewer Line
A broken sewer line is the breeding­grounds for various plumbing problems
in your normal healthy life. These plumbing problems might seem to be
never­ending if the sewer lines are not repaired on time. More than a
blocked sewer line, a broken sewer line can become difficult to manage.
Before it is too late, it is wise to call a certified plumber in Mandurah.
With consistent usage, wear and tear, the materials used to construct the
sewer line get eroded away. As a result, cracks and corrosion have
appeared on the surface of the pipes that have been troubling you
repeatedly.
But how will you know that your sewer line is broken? These are the signs:
1. Your walls/foundation will have cracks­ A leak in the
underground sewer lines will result in water seeping in the walls of your

2. home. As a result, your walls will have cracks after a significant amount of
time as well get ready to have damps on your wall all throughout the year.
Engaging a licensed plumbing company in Mandurah will be of great help
as they can inspect the sewer pipes with their specialized equipment to
detect if your sewer line is broken.
2. Bizarre green patches on your lawn­ Did you know? When
your pipes are broken, the sewage that is leaked out, is full of nutrients
that are suitable to be used as a fertilizer. This property nourishes the grass
in your lawn. But if you notice green patches on your lawn in the area
around the underground pipes that look unusual to your eyes, call for a
plumber immediately.
3. Foul­smelling wet areas on your lawn­ Know that your
underground pipes is broken for sure if you come across pools of water in
the area near your sewer lines. Not only this, there will also be
accompanying foul smell with the water because of the sewage discharge.

become a disturbing condition on your property.

broken sewer pipe will cause the walls in your house to remain damp, 24
hours and 365 days. If not treated soon, continuous soaking of moisture in
your walls will be the perfect breeding grounds for mould and mildew that
can spoil the appearance of your home sweet home.
5. Release of gases from the sewer­ If you smell a persistent foul
odour in your house in spite of spraying room fresheners, take it as a sign
of a broken/cracked sewer pipe that is releasing the foul­smelling gases. A
healthy sewer line will never give out such intolerable smell in your house.
Thus immediately call for reliable residential plumbers to get your sewer
lines checked.

soon as possible. If left untreated for a long time, staying inside the house
can become unbearable and will be equally painful for you as a homeowner
as well as for your guests also, if you invite them.
