Below we have a list of a few issues that you may deal with throughout the year for your home’s sewer system.
Tree Root Intrusions
Typically, tree root problems are something that most people associate with the warm summer weather. However, it can also occur during the colder months. This is because the roots of the trees will dig deeper in order to search for usable water. Also, frozen groundwater can end up putting more pressure on the sewer lines, which can cause more damage due to the cracks from tree roots.
Frozen Sewer Vents
If your sewer vents freeze during the winter, you can end up with a backup in your lines. Some of the signs that you should look out for if your are having frozen vent issues include:
- Gurgling sounds coming from the toilet.
- A slow flushing toilet.
- Experiencing dizziness, headaches, or nausea.
These vent issues will need to be taken care of as soon as possible, as it the gas will make it unsafe to be in your indoor spaces.
