Warning Signs in a Home Sewer Line
When It Is Time to Call
A toilet that bubbles when the tub drains, a sewage smell, water rising from a floor drain and clogs that come back point to the main line. If smoke from city sewer testing ever enters the house, the city advises consulting a licensed plumber. Meanwhile, stop running water.
