Main Sewer Line Warning Signs Every Homeowner Should Know

Multiple slow drains, gurgling toilets, soggy lawn — the early warnings of a main line failure.

A failing main sewer line almost always announces itself before it floods your floor. If you catch the warning signs early, you save thousands. Here's what to watch for.

  • Multiple drains slow at the same time
  • Toilets gurgle when the washing machine drains
  • Sewage in the lowest drain in the house (often a tub or floor drain)
  • Cleanout in the yard is full or overflowing
  • Patches of unusually green grass or wet spots above the line
  • Strong sewer gas odor inside or in the yard
