- Wet spots in the yard: If you have wet spots in the yard and they smell funky, then you probably have a sewer problem that needs professional attention. Unfortunately, this is a major problem. It means that your sewer main has been ruptured and now leaks wastewater into the surrounding area underground. If it has reached the surface, it has likely been occurring for some time. Your pipe will need to be repaired before you can continue to use your plumbing. Depending on the severity, your plumber may recommend a comprehensive pipe replacement.
- Multiple clogs: If there are multiple clogs throughout your home, there might be a common cause. The root of the problem may lie within your sewer pipe. All of the drainpipes throughout your home link up to connect to the sewer main, which then connects your home wastewater disposal system to a septic tank or municipal waste management system. There is likely a major blockage that is causing this disruption, and it will need to be cleared before you can flush the toilet and take a shower.
