Sewer lines are installed underground.
These pipes are responsible for transporting all of the wastewater from the home to the septic tank. Until I had a problem with the sewer line, I didn’t even know where it was located. I suddenly became very interested and concerned with the main line when I noticed slow moving drains, foul odors from the drains and issues with mold and mildew growth. I did some research and learned that a drain cleanout supplies access to the main sewer line and is located somewhere outside. They resemble a capped pipe and stick a few inches above the ground. Because sewer backups are created underground, they can be difficult to spot. Knowing the exact location of the home’s main sewer line is a priority. It allows for monitoring and directing a plumber to the problem area. Identifying it required some searching. I checked the basement, garage and crawl space, looking for a four-inch diameter pipe with a square-shaped screw cap on the top. When I found nothing promising, I began searching outdoors. I finally found a sewer line concealed by shrubs right near the foundation of the house. I attempted solving the clob by way of a plunger. When that failed to yield results, I invested into a drain snake. Unfortunately, the situation steadily escalated. Rather than just a single fixture draining slowly, the drain for every sink and tub in the house was unmoving. According to the internet, this indicates a blockage deeper in the sewer line. The unpleasant odors from the drains were possibly caused by toxic sewer gas. While I was not enthusiastic about paying the high cost of professional plumbing repairs, there was no other choice.
