No chance of saying anything politically incorrect there.</p><p>For starters, let&rsquo;s say you suspect there may be a problem with your sewer line, but you don&rsquo;t want to call in an expert until you have a little more evidence your suspicion may be correct. Here are a few signs you just might have a serious problem caused by a leaky sewer line.</p><p><strong>Sewer Gas Odor</strong></p><p>A sewer system should never release sewer gas odors in the home or even close by the structure because a well-functioning system will be airtight. Any crack or unwanted opening in the sewer line means the system is no longer airtight.</p><p><strong>Water Backups</strong></p><p>Frequent backups in your toilets or even your sinks may be an indication of a damaged sewer line. Many people think having their pipes cleaned is the most likely solution to this problem. This may only be a temporary, stop-gap solution and even after a cleaning, you may find the problem has not gone away. Faulty pipe connections or cracks in the line will not be helped with a cleaning.</p><p><strong>Slow Drainage</strong></p><p>If your bathtub, sink or toilet is slower to drain than it used to be, it is probably due to a blockage somewhere in your plumbing. There is a good chance this blockage has something to do with the sewer line. Again, cleaning may not be the solution and you could easily end up with a sewage backup if you don&rsquo;t act quickly.</p><p><strong>Patches of Greener Grass</strong></p><p>While lush green lawns are something a homeowner is usually proud of, if you have patches of grass that all of a sudden appear greener than the rest of your lawn, this usually spells trouble. Sewage acts as a fertilizer for grass and plants so leakage from the main sewer line under your lawn can cause the grass directly above the sewer line to begin looking extra lush.</p><p><strong>Mold Formation</strong></p><p>The appearance of mold in your bathroom, basement or anywhere near your plumbing is another prime indicator that you could have sewer line leakage. A cracked sewer pipe in the floor or inside a wall may cause an increase in humidity, which in turn often leads to mold growth.</p><p><strong>Cracks in the Foundation</strong></p><p>Water escaping from sewer pipes can saturate concrete foundations and this saturation can lead to cracks in the cement. This symptom will not appear as quickly as others mentioned above because it usually only occurs if leaks go untreated for a prolonged period. While backups, odors and mold are unpleasant, foundation problems are the most expensive to fix.</p><p><strong>Jumping to a Conclusion Can Waste time and Money</strong></p><p>If you notice any of these symptoms, do not jump to the conclusion that cleaning your pipes is the obvious solution to your problem. The wisest move is to get a complete sewer inspection done as quickly as possible by a qualified professional such as South West Plumbing. The longer you wait to isolate problems with sewer line leakage, the higher the repair costs are likely to be. An unfortunate settling of your home or the creation of a sinkhole in your yard can be a disaster for your bank account.</p><p>Read more:&nbsp;<a href="http://www.king5.com/life/home-garden/home-appreciation/leaky-sewer-line-you-can-pay-me-now-or-pay-me-later/376736161" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">http://www.king5.com/life/home-garden/home-appreciation/leaky-sewer-line-you-can-pay-me-now-or-pay-me-later/376736161</a></p><p>The previous article <a href="http://belfast.drainlab.co.uk/leaky-sewer-line-can-pay-now-pay-later/" data-wpel-link="internal">Leaky Sewer Line?

Instead of paying a fortune for a chemical-filled concoction, try fixing the problem yourself with a homemade drain cleaner. It costs basically nothing to make and can be used weekly to help prevent buildup. Safe to use in the bathroom or kitchen, the drain buster will have your sink or tub flowing freely in no time. Have a really plugged pipe? We've even found the solution for seriously stopped drains.</p><p><strong>What You'll Need:</strong></p><ul><li>Paper towel</li><li>55g baking soda</li><li>75g salt</li><li>40g cream of tartar</li><li>500ml boiling water</li></ul><p><strong>Directions:</strong></p><ol><li>Yes, it's a bit gross, but start by removing the drain trap and giving it a good cleaning. Use kitchen roll to wipe around the drain of your sink or bath, removing any bits of food or collections of hair.</li><li>Mix together the baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar in a small container. The salt and baking soda work together to help scour pipes and break up buildup, while the cream of tartar naturally cleans metals. Shake the mixture and sprinkle half down the clogged drain.</li><li>Pour in the boiling water and let the drain buster work its magic for about an hour. Then rinse with cool water. You should notice a difference in your drainage.</li><li>If the drain still is still clogged, get serious by pouring 220g of baking soda down the drain followed with 250ml vinegar. The two create a fizzing reaction, which will attack nasty obstructions. Allow the baking soda and vinegar to work overnight, and then pour two cups boiling water down the drain.</li><li>Still not draining? Put on some old clothes, fill the sink or bath halfway with warm water, and grab your plunger. Yes, it's also gross, but giving your sink or tub a plunging should clear that clogged drain.</li><li>Maintain your free-flowing pipes by using the homemade drain cleaner once a week.</li></ol><p style="text-align: left;">Read more:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.popsugar.co.uk/smart-living/Homemade-Drain-Cleaner-42047643" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">https://www.popsugar.co.uk/smart-living/Homemade-Drain-Cleaner-42047643</a></p><p>Call us for all of your <a href="https://www.yelloyello.com/places/drainlab-limerick" data-wpel-link="external" target="_blank" rel="external noopener noreferrer">drain cleaning</a> needs</p><p><a href="http://limerick.drainlab.ie/homemade-drain-cleaner-will-banish-clogs-good/" data-wpel-link="internal">This Homemade Drain Cleaner Will Banish Clogs For Good</a> is courtesy of <a href="http://limerick.drainlab.ie/" data-wpel-link="internal">limerick.drainlab.ie/</a></p><br><br>via Websites http://limerick.drainlab.ie/homemade-drain-cleaner-will-banish-clogs-good/</div></div> http://drainlab.weebly.com/blog/do-eco-friendly-drain-clog-solutions-exist3918000 drainlab - Blog urn:uuid:f59c93f8-1681-14fb-20bc-105c21ba896b Thu, 15 Dec 2016 20:28:41 +0000 Earth911 is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to amazon.com.

Use kitchen roll to wipe around the drain of your sink or bath, removing any bits of food or collections of hair.</li><li>Mix together the baking soda, salt, and cream of tartar in a small container. The salt and baking soda work together to help scour pipes and break up buildup, while the cream of tartar naturally cleans metals.
