Leaks in drain or sewer piping can show up as persistent odors, damp ground, or recurring drainage trouble. Describe what you are seeing.
Possible warning signs
- Recurring wet areas near a drain route
- Unusual sewer odors indoors or outdoors
- Repeated drainage issues in multiple fixtures
- Visible damage around an accessible drain line
Separate a clog from a leak
Slow drainage may be caused by a blockage, a vent issue, or a damaged pipe. A description of which fixtures are affected can help narrow down the next diagnostic step.
Ask about inspection options
Camera inspection or other testing may be relevant depending on the line and access. Confirm which methods are available for your situation.
What to share during your first call
Have your property address ready. Describe when the issue began, where you have noticed water or unusual conditions, any water meter changes and whether immediate damage is occurring. Ask about the diagnostic process, the assigned professional, and charges before authorizing work.
