If you’ve started to notice foul, lingering odors inside your home or place of business, you might be dealing with more than just a forgotten trash bag or clogged sink. One common—yet often overlooked—culprit is a punctured indoor sewer or drain line. It’s a plumbing issue that’s not only unpleasant but potentially hazardous to your health and property. Fortunately, Royal Flush Plumbing specializes in diagnosing and repairing exactly this kind of problem.
What Causes a Punctured Sewer or Drain Line?
Indoor sewer and drain lines can become damaged due to a variety of factors:
-
Aging or corroded pipes
-
Accidental impact from renovations or construction
-
Tree root intrusion (in some cases, even indoors!)
-
Improper installation or material fatigue
A puncture or crack allows gases and waste to escape—creating a recipe for bad smells, potential water damage, and even mold growth.
Warning Signs to Watch For
-
One of the earliest and most obvious symptoms of a compromised sewer or drain line is persistent unpleasant odors indoors. These smells often resemble rotten eggs or sewage and tend to linger even after cleaning. Other signs may include:
-
Slow drainage or frequent clogs
-
Wet spots on floors or walls
-
Unexplained mold or mildew
-
Gurgling noises from drains or toilets
-
-
If you notice any of these symptoms, it’s time to call in the professionals.
