Despite being a major part of a home’s plumbing, many people rarely think about their sewer line, much less a sewer cleaning. But the team at Taylor’s Drain & Sewer Service of Lincoln, NE, warns customers to avoid this “out of sight, out of mind” mentality toward their home’s plumbing. After all, your sewer line carries all of your waste water to the main sewer in your street, so you don’t want it malfunctioning.

Below are three ways to recognize that you’re due for a sewer cleaning:

• Slow Drains: Slow drainage from one fixture usually just means a clogged drain. But if every drain in your house is moving slowly, it means there is probably a blockage in your main sewer line and you’ll need to call in a professional.
• Foul Odors: Sometimes, bad smells coming from your sink are simply caused by a dried out p-trap. If you address the issue but the smell persists and you notice gurgling sounds from your sink, your sewer line is definitely backed up.
• Water Backing Up Into The Bath Or Shower: If you flush your toilet with a clogged sewer line, the water will redirect and emerge from the lowest points in your house—typically the bathtub.
