Pay Close Attention to Sewer Lines

The shifting earth can damage joints or connections buried underground. Sewer lines can easily crack following an earthquake. Examine your yard for wet spots or seepage along the sewer line. These could be a sign of sewer line breakage. Be alert to foul odors. These are signs of septic leaks. If you suspect any sewer line damage, call a professional plumber to assess the situation. With the availability of today's non-invasive technology, sewer line problems can most likely be found and repaired without digging up your yard.

Examine Water Lines

Exterior water leaks require immediate attention. Puddles or sudden grass or plant growth near your home's water lines are sure signs of an underground water leak. Rooter Hero Plumbing recommends calling an emergency plumber for diagnostic services to find the root of the problem and address it promptly.
