Signs You May Be Dealing with a Sewer Line Issue
At Emerald Bay Plumbing, we don’t jump to the most expensive conclusions. We rule out simple fixes first and use non-invasive video inspections to identify the nature of your problem. If sewer line repair or replacement is required, we’ll always provide you with fair, upfront pricing.
Sewage Backup
If sewage is backing up into sinks, tubs, toilets, or the yard, it’s a serious health hazard and a critical sign of a severe sewer line problem. Call us for emergency service!
Multiple or Frequent Drain Clogs
If your sinks, tubs, showers, and toilets are draining much slower than usual, this is a common and early indicator of a sewer line problem.
Gurgling Sounds
Unusual gurgling noises coming from drains often signify a partial blockage or air trapped in the pipes.
Foul Odors
Unpleasant sewer smells emanating from drains can indicate a buildup of organic matter that is decomposing and releasing foul gases.
Soggy or Lush Areas in the Yard
Unexpectedly lush or soggy patches in your yard can indicate a sewage leak.
Foundation Issues
In some cases, severe sewer line problems can lead to foundation issues like cracks or settling. If you notice these symptoms alongside others, call our plumbers!

Yes! We recommend having your sewer line inspected every 1-2 years, and fall is an ideal time to schedule this critical preventative maintenance task. Even in Florida, where we don’t often encounter extremely cold weather, a fall sewer line inspection can protect you from unexpected issues that often strike in cooler months, such as sewer line breaks, leaks, sewer backups, and more.
While chemicals like copper sulfate can be used to dissolve tree roots, they can be harmful to the environment and humans. Plus, chemical solutions may not prevent future root growth. Instead, we recommend mechanical methods, such as hydro jetting or root cutting.
If you suspect tree root intrusion, it is highly recommended to let a plumber handle the job as they have the deep expertise to do so safely and effectively.
Sewer line replacements are typically labor-intensive, sometimes requiring excavation work to access the line. At Emerald Bay Plumbing, we have a number of advanced solutions that can minimize damage and disruption to your property—and keep costs in check. If excavation is required, we will prioritize speed while upholding all plumbing best practices.
No matter what sewer line repair or replacement method is required, we’ll never begin work without providing an honest, free, and upfront quote and making sure you understand all your options fully.
