Sewer & Drain Service FAQs

Why does my drain smell bad even after cleaning it?

If your drain smells bad even after cleaning, it’s likely due to issues deeper in your plumbing. A dry P-trap is a common culprit—it allows sewer gas to rise up through the pipes. Clogged vent pipes can also trap odors inside your system. In some cases, buildup of biofilm, grease, or food debris in the pipes can continue producing foul smells even after surface-level cleaning. If you have a septic system, odors may signal tank overload or drain field issues. For long-lasting results, consider a professional camera inspection to locate the source of the odor and prevent further problems. A licensed plumber can safely remove deep buildup and restore a fresh-smelling, healthy drain system.

How do I know if I have a main sewer line clog?

A main sewer line clog can quickly turn into a plumbing emergency if left untreated. Common warning signs include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling toilets, slow drainage throughout your home, and sewage odors coming from sinks or tubs. You may also notice water backing up in lower-level fixtures like floor drains or showers. Unlike a single clogged drain, a main line issue affects your entire plumbing system. Tree roots, collapsed pipes, or heavy buildup are often to blame. If you suspect a main sewer blockage, stop running water and call a professional immediately. A video camera inspection can confirm the problem and help determine whether hydro jetting or sewer line repair is needed.

How do I know if my septic system is failing?

Warning signs of a failing septic system often start subtly but can escalate fast. Look for slow drains, gurgling toilets, or sewage backing up into sinks, tubs, or the yard. You might notice standing water or spongy grass near the drain field, even without rain. Foul odors, both indoors and outside, are another major red flag. Inside your tank, a buildup of sludge and scum can overflow if it hasn’t been pumped regularly. When your septic system fails, it can put your home, health, and the environment at risk. Schedule a professional septic inspection and pumping as soon as you notice any issues to avoid a complete system breakdown and costly repairs.
