What Are the Signs of a Sewer Line Problem?
The clearest sign is more than one drain backing up at once, especially the lowest drains in the house. Your main sewer line carries everything out of the home, so a problem there affects many fixtures.
- Toilets gurgle or bubble when other fixtures run
- Water backs up into the tub or a floor drain
- Sewer smell inside or in the yard
- Soggy or extra green patches in the lawn over the line
- Repeat clogs after snaking
What Is a Sewer Camera Inspection?
A sewer camera inspection is a waterproof camera on a flexible cable that a plumber pushes through your line. It shows live video of the inside of the pipe so the plumber can see cracks, roots, sags, grease and the exact location of the problem.
It is also smart to get one before buying an older home, since sewer line repairs are not always covered by a standard inspection.

Call (509) 286-1592Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage
Most sewer line damage comes from age, roots and ground movement.
- Tree roots entering through joints in clay or older pipes
- Aging materials such as clay and cast iron that crack or corrode
- Bellies or sags where part of the pipe has sunk and holds waste
- Grease buildup that narrows the pipe
- Shifting soil and freeze-thaw cycles in winter
Established Kennewick neighborhoods often have older sewer lines, which is where these problems show up most.
What Are My Repair Options?
The right repair depends on what the camera finds.
| Problem | Common fix |
|---|---|
| Grease or light roots | Hydro jetting |
| One cracked or broken section | Spot repair by digging at that point |
| Long damaged section | Trenchless pipe lining or pipe bursting |
| Collapsed or badly sagging pipe | Full line replacement |
Trenchless methods can mean less digging in your yard and driveway. Not every line is a good fit, so ask the plumber what the camera shows.
Ask a local pro about a sewer camera inspection.
Call (509) 286-1592What Should I Do During a Sewer Backup?
Stop using water right away. Every flush or load of laundry sends more water into a line that cannot drain.
- Stop running water and flushing toilets.
- Keep children and pets away from the wastewater.
- Do not try to clean raw sewage without gloves and protection.
- Call a plumber to clear the line and find the cause.
