warning signs of a damaged sewer pipe

Damages underneath the ground are not always easy to tell because they’re not visible. They could be hiding behind your walls on creeping in spaces like the basement or your driveway. Knowing the warning signs to look out for will help you predict when to call the plumbers to address it urgently.

• Discolouration – Brown or yellow coloured water coming out of your pipes indicates a buildup of corrosion or rust which cast iron pipes are especially vulnerable. Discolouration can also cause brown stains on your sink. Discoloured water is the most visible sign that you urgently need to replace or reline your cast iron pipes.

• Leaks – Leaks are also visible signs of damaged cast iron pipes. If the leaks happen in multiple areas in your home and continuously persist even after repeated cleaning, you need to make urgent contact with the expert.

• Slow Drain – When you experience slow flow or backing up, there’s a big possibility that your cast iron pipe has totally failed. Cleaning it with a chemical remover is a no-no because chemicals contain sulphuric acid that will create more damage to the pipe.

• Odour – A well-conditioned sewer system should be airtight, but when corrosion starts to happen, leaks are always the result. Leaks on pipes can cause sewer gas to escape that can pose a health hazard in your home.
