Why You Can’t Afford Delaying Sewer Line Repairs

Dec 27, 2019

Getting your home’s plumbing fixed comes at a cost. But there are far more costs involved if you decide to let the problem sit and wait. And we don’t just mean monetary ones.

Water, Water, Everywhere

Sometimes, when people find out that their faucets or toilets are experiencing a little leak, they think, “Aw well, it’s just a little leak, right?” Wrong. The damage a leak can cause to your home’s plumbing occurs regardless of how big or small it is. Of course, sometimes, cleaning up all the sediment that has collected and replacing certain parts can solve the problem.


But not always.


There are almost always underlying issues that are causing the trouble. What appears to be a simple leak could lead to water accumulation and seepage that could destroy hardwood flooring, carpets, and more. Together, the costs of repairing all these items can be enormous.

Mold Madness

Yes, most American houses have dealt with a mold infestation. But the growth is augmented by leaking sewer lines increasing humidity levels of your house. And the longer you sit on such a leak, the more expensive it gets. Not only is mold far more expensive to get rid of as it grows, but it’s also dangerous.



It poses a severe risk to the health of your family members. It also causes the house’s air quality to worsen over time. Delaying mold damage means more than additional repair costs down the line: it means extra medical bills and hospital runs that you could have easily avoided.

Structural Damage

The foundation of your house and the support beams are all wont to suffer if you allow water and mold damage due to a sewer leakage go unchecked.


Your house becomes a dangerous place to live in, since the structure is so weakened. Personal property can’t be replaced as easily as sewer line parts—which is why you should reach out to a plumber immediately when you detect a problem with your sewer line.

Backups and Clogging

Sometimes, the plumbing isn’t an issue on its own, but a symptom of something else. A far bigger problem, such as a sewage backup, could be waiting for you. This means no usable bathrooms.


This could also be the result of dealing with what is a long-term problem with a short-term solution. It will be far more frustrating to repair and take care of in the future, and you might be looking at full replacements—which will be far more expensive too.
