Sewer Services

The smell may result from bacteria growth in a bathroom drain. Cleaning drains and cleaning debris can help. It may also be due to a p-trap, which can often be resolved by running water in the tub, shower, and sink for a few moments. Persistent sewer smells might indicate a sewer backup, requiring Mesquite Plumbing’s professional sewer services. Contact us at (972) 285-5938.

While it’s possible, it’s not advisable to rely on it. Even if a sewer line clog clears itself, it could cause or result from damage. Always consult a licensed plumber to inspect your sewer lines to prevent potential hazards and costly damage.

In most cases, home insurance covers sewer line damage within your property lines due to natural disasters. Damage caused by poor installation or maintenance is unlikely to be covered. Contact your insurance provider to understand your coverage and limitations fully.

If your entire home smells like sewage, there may be a leak or backup in your sewer line. This can quickly lead to dangerous sewage leaks or costly repairs if not addressed promptly. Contact your local plumber to inspect your sewer line for potential repairs.

Coverage can vary depending on the location and cause of the damage. If the damage occurs within your property lines and results from a natural event, it may be covered. Policies vary, so the best way to determine coverage is to contact your insurance provider.

The duration depends on the extent of the damage. In many cases, our licensed plumbers can complete sewer line replacement in a day. On average, it may take anywhere from one to three days.

With proper maintenance, most sewer line piping lasts 50-100 years. Clay pipes typically last 50-60 years, cast iron pipes last 75-100 years, and PVC pipes last 100 years or more. However, sewer lines may need replacement sooner due to tree root intrusion, weather damage, or internal corrosion.
