Q: Can I use metal detectors to find my sewer line?

• <div><p>No, you typically cannot use metal detectors to find your sewer line. Most sewer lines are made of non-metallic materials such as PVC, clay, or cast iron, which are not detectable by standard metal detectors. Metal detectors are designed to locate metallic objects, so they won't be effective for identifying the path of a non-metallic sewer line. To locate your sewer line accurately, it's best to use other methods.</p></div>

Q: How do I know if my basement floor drain is clogged?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/stop-water-basement-floor.htm">Water leaking through your basement floor</a> is a good sign of a clogged drain, but another sign of a clogged basement floor drain can include unpleasant odors coming from the drain. Also, hearing gurgling noises when water drains from the basement or having other plumbing fixtures (like toilets or other drains) backing up is a good indicator.</p></div>

Q: What are the signs of a clogged main sewer line?

• <div><p>Some signs that your main sewer line is clogged are easy to spot, like when water backs up into your showers, sinks, and toilets for no apparent reason. However, some indicators are more subtle. The most common signs that you may have a clogged sewer main include:</p><ul><li><p>Gurgling sounds coming from drains or toilet</p></li><li><p>Water in your basement drain or in the lawn</p></li><li><p>Smell of raw sewage throughout your home</p></li><li><p>Other found odors like rotten eggs around your home</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: Why does my whole house smell like cat pee?

• <div><p>Cat pee has a strong ammonia-like smell, so if you smell cat pee but don&rsquo;t have a cat or don&rsquo;t suspect your cat has any accidents, there could be other issues at hand. Aside from pet urine, your house may smell like cat pee from leaking freon from an old fridge, mold, spilled cleaning supplies, or even outside odors from nearby farms. </p></div>

Q: How often should a sewer line be cleaned?

• <div><p>A <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-often-should-i-clean-my-sewer-drain.htm">sewer line should be cleaned</a> at least once every 18 to 22 months. The process takes about 30 minutes or up to 5 hours, depending on the size of the line, how easy it is to access, and how long it&rsquo;s been since the previous cleaning. If your sewer line hasn&rsquo;t been cleaned in a couple of years or you don&rsquo;t even know the last time it&rsquo;s been cleaned, it&rsquo;s time to call a pro. </p></div>
