Damaged Caused by a Broken Drain
Taking care of a damaged drain or broken sewer line is not something you should take care of immediately for the convenience of it. You should arrange for rapid repairs and services to preserve the well-being of your own health and home, too. The truth is a back-flowing or overflowing drain can ultimately cause a lot of harm if it isn’t addressed soon.
Problems that can be caused by a broken or ruptured drain include:
- Water damage: Overflowing water can start to flood your property in a matter of minutes, depending on its source. The water damage caused can be extensive. Carpeting and flooring are the most susceptible to permanent damage if the problem is not fixed right away, but the walls and woodwork behind them can also be jeopardized. Furniture, electronics, and other personal items are also at risk, of course.
- Foundation damage: If the foundation under your home is porous, then it can start to absorb excess water that has been left to stand. Too much absorption can cause the concrete to flex, swell, and crack. With a weakened foundation, the stability of your entire home could be weakened as well.
- Health hazards and illnesses: Water damage from an overflowing water line or drain can trigger mold growth that releases unsafe spores into the air you breathe. Backflow from a broken sewer line can introduce hazardous wastewater into your home, creating a significant health risk. Depending on the layout of your plumbing system, it could even make wastewater mix with potable water.

Signs of a Ruptured Sewer Pipe
Not every sewer line rupture or clog will be immediately obvious. That does not mean they require services that are any less urgent, though. It just means you might need to keep your eyes open for subtle signs of a broken sewer line.
Your sewer line is likely ruptured if you notice:
- Foul odors: Is an unplaceable stench lingering in your home? Does it get stronger in any room where there is a faucet, drain, or toilet? It is very likely that your sewer line is broken or clogged beneath your feet.
- Frequent clogs: Clogs should not be so frequent that you can count the days with them. If different drains around your property keep clogging several times in a week or month, then there might be a serious issue deeper in your sewer system.
- Wet spots in your yard: There should be no unexplained wet spots in your front or backyard. Puddles forming in the grass (that cannot be explained by rain or sprinklers) may indicate a sewer line problem. The same is true if you notice certain spots of your yard have suddenly become much greener and lusher than usual.
Septic Tank Cleaning
If your home isn’t connected to a sewer, it’s likely connected to a septic system or tank. Septic tanks are the most common non-sewer waste collection systems and they require pretty low maintenance. However, they still need regular pumping and service to stay functional. Zoom Drain of Philadelphia offers septic tank emergency pumping services when an issue arises without warning. To help keep your septic tank working properly, we recommend having it pumped every two to three years. When cleaning is done consistently and continuously, you could be saving several thousand dollars on a septic system replacement.

“I can't say enough about you guys. From your first call in February (Tyler, Steve) up to today, you have exceeded my expectations. Twice technicians were at my house until 10 at night, on the weekend, and did not leave until the problem was diagnosed or resolved. My sewer line was not a normal situation and very hard to work around but they did it, they did it correctly and they did it quickly so as not to inconvenience myself or my neighbor. Chris was excellent (working until 10 P.M. on Father's Day), and Kevin made sure I was pleased with the job. Matt was absolutely awesome beyond words! He calmed my fears, explained everything, and put me at ease. He made sure everything was done correctly and he was accessible whenever I had a question or concern. I would never use anyone else but Zoom because of their employees and their service. My favorite thing is the fact that no matter what's going on, how late or how hot it is, the technicians ALWAYS put on shoe covers before coming back into the house. Thanks Zoom!”- June Gregory

“Zoom Drain cleared our courtyard drain this morning. They were on time and completed the job quickly. Also had foot covers to protect the wood floor and treats for the dogs!”- Anthon F.

“I know it typically does not work this easily every time. However, when I called Zoom this morning they put me in the schedule for this afternoon. I then got a call back asking if a technician in 30 minutes would work for my schedule. Ben showed up in 30 minutes and was able to skillfully communicate what services he could provide to tackle what we were facing. I then proceeded to somehow think his name was Matt and cheerfully called him Matt the whole time. Never did he correct me, but later reading my invoice I see that I'm oblivious and Ben is patient. He also was able to snake clean, video inspect, and clean out debris clogging our u-bend in under 40 minutes. So crazily, I called and had working drains again in under two hours. From the time I called. You guys are the best.”- Jonathan M.
