What you get from Mainline Plumbing:
the main choice for home services since 2012
Spring often brings increased rainfall to the South Florida area, as well as thawing ground from winter’s freeze. The extra moisture can cause soil shifts, which may lead to pressure on sewer lines, causing cracks, blockages, or breaks. Depending on the severity of the damage, sewer line repairs or a full replacement may be necessary.
Common signs include slow drainage, sewage backups, foul odors coming from drains, or unusually lush patches of grass in your yard. If you notice these signs, it’s best to contact the Mainline Plumbing, AC & Electrical professionals for an inspection.
It depends on your specific policy. Some homeowner’s insurance plans may cover sewer line repairs due to sudden and accidental damage but may not cover root growth or gradual wear and tear. Check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
Yes, regular maintenance like scheduling professional inspections and keeping your drains clear of debris can prevent potential problems. Additionally, avoid planting trees or large shrubs near sewer lines to prevent root intrusion.
Not necessarily, but the demand for these services may increase during spring due to weather-related issues. Scheduling an inspection early in the season can help avoid delays and additional costs for your sewer line repair service.
There are a few signs to take note of that indicate your sewer line is in desperate need of a repair. Fortunately, the plumbing professionals at Mainline Plumbing, AC & Electrical are expertly trained to diagnose and repair your sewer line for you! Here are a the major warning signs that your sewer line requires our prompt attention:

If you find that your toilet continuously runs, bubbles, or gurgles, odds are you have a damaged sewage line. You’ll need to address this right away or else sewage will back up into your toilet!
If you have a patch of grass in your yard that appears to be growing quicker and greener than the rest of your lawn, chances are you that you have a sewer line issue in serious need of a repair.
Mold on your walls may be a sign of increased humidity inside of your home, which could be the result of a leaky pipe. This can even happen in parts of your house without plumbing fixtures! It’s best to call our plumbing professionals if you notice mold or discoloration on your walls to rule out a sewer line leak.
What appears to be a puddle in your yard may actually be septic wastewater pooling up. If you notice this happening, specifically on a dry day, you should call our team as soon as possible to have the issue addressed.
