Warning Signs of a Damaged or Aging Sewer Line
A sewer line problem isn’t just an inconvenience, it can become a major health and safety issue if not addressed quickly. At Althoff Home Services, we help homeowners recognize the early warning signs of a failing sewer line so repairs can be made before disaster strikes. Common indicators include frequent drain backups, slow drainage in multiple fixtures, unpleasant odors coming from sinks or yard drains, and soggy or sunken patches in your lawn.
Older sewer lines made of clay, cast iron, or other outdated materials are more likely to crack, corrode, or collapse over time, especially if they’re near large tree roots. If your home is more than 30 years old, regular inspection is a must. We use advanced camera technology to pinpoint problems fast. If you’re seeing any of these red flags, call Althoff Home Services right away to avoid costly damage and unsanitary conditions.
Always Schedule Routine Sewer Line Cleaning
You don’t have to wait for a major backup to take care of your sewer line. At Althoff Home Services, we encourage homeowners to treat sewer line maintenance as a preventive measure. Routine cleaning helps remove the buildup of grease, debris, and even small root intrusions that can eventually cause clogs or damage. It’s an affordable, non-invasive way to extend the life of your system and keep everything running smoothly.
Routine cleaning also helps us catch early signs of trouble, like minor cracks or misalignments, before they escalate into major repairs. For homes in Crystal Lake and the surrounding suburbs, especially those with mature trees or older plumbing, we recommend a professional cleaning every 1–2 years. Trust Althoff Home Services to help you stay ahead of sewer line problems with scheduled maintenance that keeps your system clear, reliable, and stress-free.
