Yard Lines

What are the Signs of Yard Line Problems?

There are several symptoms associated with yard line problems, and they may vary based on whether the source of the issue is a water line or a sewer line. 

If you have a broken water line in your yard, some of the symptoms may include:

• A loss of water pressure in your home or building. If water is leaking outdoors before it can reach your home, this will certainly create a loss of pressure that you will notice at the tap. 

• A larger-than-usual water bill. The constant leaking from a broken yard line will increase your water bill, as well. 

• Soft, soggy areas in the yard. As the leak continues, it will seep into the ground and cause it to be a wet, soggy mess - even when it hasn’t rained. 

On the other hand, if you are dealing with a broken sewer line, the symptoms might include:

• Constantly clogged drains. If your drains continuously run slowly, or if it feels like you are always fighting a clog, this is a surefire sign that you have a clogged or broken sewer line in your yard. 

• You can smell sewage inside the house. If you smell the infamous “rotten egg” smell inside your home, there’s a problem, and that problem could be caused by a broken sewer line in your yard. 

• Your lawn is discolored. A broken sewer line is essentially pumping fertilizer into the soil around it, which can cause the lawn to look bright green and lush in the area surrounding the leak.
