What Are the Signs of a Broken Sewer Line?

Common signs include frequent drain backups, slow drainage in multiple areas, foul odors, soggy patches in your yard, and gurgling sounds from toilets or sinks. These symptoms often point to serious issues in the main sewer line. It’s important to have a professional inspection as soon as these signs appear.

Can You Repair a Sewer Line Without Digging?

Yes, Olympic Plumbing Technology offers trenchless sewer repair options. These methods allow us to fix or replace your line using minimal excavation, preserving your landscaping and driveway. Trenchless solutions are efficient, durable, and cost-effective for many homes.

How Long Does Sewer Line Replacement Take?

Traditional replacements can take several days, depending on the extent of the damage and site conditions. Trenchless replacements are typically completed in one to two days. We’ll assess your system and give you a clear timeline up front.

What Causes Sewer Line Damage?

Sewer lines can be damaged by tree root intrusion, shifting soil, aging or corroded pipes, clogs from grease or debris, and extreme temperature changes. Regular inspections can help catch these issues before they turn into expensive repairs.

How Do You Know Something’s Wrong With Your Sewer Line?

Sewer line issues can be messy, disruptive, and expensive — especially if you don’t catch them early. At Olympic Plumbing Technology, we help homeowners in Olympia recognize the warning signs before major damage occurs. If you’re seeing any of these symptoms around your home, it’s time to call in a professional.

Frequent Drain Backups: Toilets, tubs, and sinks that back up repeatedly — even after clearing — can point to deeper sewer problems.
Slow-Moving Drains: Multiple slow drains throughout your home may signal a partial blockage in the main sewer line.
Unpleasant Odors: Persistent sewage smells indoors or near your yard often indicate a leak or break in the line.
Soggy or Sunken Patches of Lawn: Unexplained wet areas or dips in your yard may mean your sewer line is leaking underground.
Gurgling Sounds: Strange bubbling or gurgling noises from your fixtures could point to trapped air in a compromised pipe.
Rodent or Insect Activity: Damaged sewer lines can attract pests to the moist environment, leading to infestations.

The Olympic Plumbing Technology techs that performed a service call at my home were professional, polite, and personable. They investigated a possible leak and descaled my water heater. They were such great guys that while they serviced the water heater, I hung out in the garage just to chat with them.
