The sewer line installation is the main conduit through which waste and wastewater are ejected away from private homes and businesses, but this core plumbing component is out of sight and out of mind for most property owners. Many think the city's accountable for the sewer line maintenance and repairs, but the portion on private lots is the property owner's responsibility.
If your sewer line is giving you cause for concern, then play it safe and call Acknowledge Plumbing to have a uniformed plumber investigate. Acknowledge Plumbing is an established and licensed business offering everything from routine maintenance and repairs to even a complete trenchless sewer line replacement in Rancho Cordova.
A slow drain here and there is usually a minor inconvenience often caused by a localized blockage. However, if you're experiencing slow drainage in multiple or all sinks, toilets, and tubs, then you might be experiencing an early warning sign of a much larger issue.
If plunging or drain cleaning doesn’t resolve the problem, then it may be time to have the sewer line inspected. The longer the issue persists, the more pressure it puts on your plumbing system. A quick sewer line cleaning can give you the long-lasting peace of mind you need.
Sewer systems are designed to keep unpleasant smells contained, but those foul odors can make their way back into your home or business if your sewer line is damaged or clogged. If you notice a strong sewage smell coming from your drains, yard, or even inside the property, then it’s time to wave the red flag.
Our kitchen drain was draining directly under the house creating a small lake of soap and mud. Several plumbers were called but all were a week or more out. We reached out to a lesser known company, Acknowledge Plumbing, and within a coupe of hours, we had a plumber on site and the problem resolved. It turns out some rodent(s) chewed through the coupling causing the discharge under the house. We are grateful to Acknowledge for their quick response, professional service, and friendly interaction.We are saving their number for any future plumbing problems that may arise. We were very satisfied with this company and highly recommend them to anyone with plumbing issues.
Felix came out to work on my reverse osmosis system. It turned out I need new system but he was thorough, explained everything in detail, and was reasonably priced. I've already teed him up for my next plumbing project. I highly recommend Felix and the Acknowledge Plumbing team.
Called Acknowledge Plumbing to fix an issue with my water pressure & piping. Steve came out the next day to provide a free estimate. He was very knowledgeable and provided some cost saving options to try before needing to do major work. Greatly appreciate the responsiveness & ability to act and respond in the best interest of the customer from this company. Definitely will give them a call for future plumbing needs.
We had an urgent need for help with our water heater on a holiday weekend (is was leaking and needed to be replaced). We were not optimistic that we would get anyone to answer a call, let alone make availability for a service call. Not only did Acknowledge Plumbing pick up the phone, but Savina was stellar in finding us a tech for the same day, and provided updates on her progress in near real time - this is highly unusual these days. Felix connected with us, discussed options for a new unit, procured it and arrived the same day. He was a pleasure to have so the work and got the whole project turned around that afternoon. They are at the top of our virtual Rolodex.
These odors often indicate that sewer gases are escaping through cracks or breaks in the sewer line. Beyond being unpleasant, these gases can be hazardous to your health. Putting off sewer repair could result in serious health risks or even a sewer backup.
Soggy patches in your lawn, particularly when there hasn’t been any rain, could be a sign that your sewer line is leaking underground. A damaged sewer pipe can cause wastewater to seep into the surrounding soil. Because sewage is a natural fertilizer, you may even notice patches of unusually lush grass.
In extreme cases, a leaking sewer line can cause the ground to shift or sink and create depressions or sinkholes in your yard. It’s important to call a professional plumber as soon as possible to assess the situation and prevent further damage.
Once you've identified an issue with your sewer line, the next question is whether it can be repaired or if it needs to be replaced entirely. The answer depends on the age of your system, the extent of the damage, and the cost of repair versus replacement among other factors.
While a plumber is best prepared to give you a clearcut answer, there are some rules of thumb we’d like to share:
