What Happens When a Sewer Line Leaks?

When people speak of sewer line leaks, they’re referring to one of two things: a break in one of the sewer pipes leading away from your house, or a full-blown sewage backup (wastewater accumulating indoors). This post covers leaks only. You can read about sewage backups here.

Sewer line leaks, while not as severe or unpleasant as a backup, still pose health hazards and need professional repair.

  • Ruptures in the pipes allow dangerous sewage gas to enter your home. Hydrogen sulfide and methane are both toxic to humans and pets.
  • Even if it doesn’t back up into your house, sewer line leaks can cause water to pool underneath, creating wet or spongy floors. Not only is it unsanitary, but flooring material will need to be replaced.
  • Sewage also contains dangerous pathogens, such as Salmonella, E. coli, and other disease-causing organisms.
  • The accumulation of waste products, water, and gases cause musty odors, a rotten egg smell, and mold growth, both inside and outside the house.
  • A sewer leak may have no outward signs, but you may notice a drastic spike in your water bill for no apparent reason.
  • Broken sewage lines attract rats. Yep, unfortunately, these varmints are drawn by the aroma of wastewater.
  • Chronic wet patches in the yard are often due to sewer leaks. The unhealthy bacteria eventually ruins the lawn, in addition to being hazardous to your family.

Repairing a Sewer Line Leak

  • One of the trickiest jobs you’ll have in repairing a sewer line leak is pinpointing the location of the rupture. The pros at Twin Home Experts use multiple methods of leak detection, including tiny cameras, smoke testing, and dye tests.
  • Once we find the break, we’ll advise you on the extent of the damage. Often, we won’t need to replace an entire pipe but can reline the inside to seal the leak. Or, we might apply a coating to the inside of the pipe.
  • In more severe cases, we may need to remove and replace a large section of the corroded or damaged pipe through our process of trenchless sewer repair.
