What Causes Sewer Line Problems?

A damaged sewer line can happen for many reasons. Some of the most common causes we see across Summit and Portage Counties include:

• Tree root intrusion: Roots grow toward the moisture inside sewer lines, eventually cracking or collapsing the pipe.
• Aging or deteriorating pipes: Over time, sewer pipes can corrode, crack, or shift—especially if exposed to harsh chemical drain cleaners.
• Freezing or shifting soil: Extreme Ohio weather can cause the ground to freeze, thaw, and shift, stressing your underground pipes.
• Septic system backups: If your home uses a septic tank, a full or flooded tank can back up the entire drainage system.
• Poor installation or DIY repairs: Improperly installed lines can sag, misalign, or collapse—especially if installed by unlicensed contractors.

Warning Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair

Recognizing early signs of a sewer issue can save you time, money, and hassle. Call Northlake Plumbing if you notice:

• Multiple clogged drains: More than one backed-up sink or shower usually means a main line issue.
• Sewage odors outdoors: A strong smell of sewage around your yard or basement is a red flag.
• Slow or standing drains: If water drains sluggishly—or not at all—it could point to a clog or pipe collapse.
• Gurgling toilets or drains: Strange sounds can signal trapped air or pressure buildup due to a blockage
• Water pooling in your yard: A soggy or unusually lush patch of grass might be hiding a broken sewer pipe.
