5 Signs You Might Need Sewer Line Repair in Bayside, Mobile, AL

Bayside homes are known for their charm and curb appeal — but underneath the surface, many are sitting on aging or shifting sewer lines.

At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we’ve helped Bayside residents deal with everything from minor root intrusions to full-blown line collapses.
The key to avoiding costly damage? Spotting the signs early.

Here are 5 signs your home may need sewer line repair — and what to do about it.

1. Multiple Drains Are Backing Up

When a single sink or toilet clogs, it’s likely a localized issue.
But when:

Your shower fills when you flush
Your laundry drain bubbles
You smell sewage in the tub…

…it’s a red flag that the main sewer line is compromised.

2. You’ve Got Trees (and Roots) Near the Line

Bayside has lots of mature trees — and those roots don’t respect your plumbing.
If your line has even the smallest crack, tree roots can:

Invade and block flow
Grow inside and trap debris
Collapse sections of the pipe

If you’re seeing slow drains and have trees nearby? It’s time for a sewer camera inspection.

3. Soggy Spots or Lush Grass in One Area

If one patch of your yard is:

Greener than the rest
Constantly wet (even when it hasn’t rained)
Sinking or smells bad…

…you may have a leaking or broken sewer pipe underground.

We’ve dug up yards in Bayside with water bubbling just inches below the grass — don’t ignore this one.

4. Foundation Cracks or Soil Shifting

When a sewer line leaks under your slab, the soil beneath starts to shift.
This can cause:

Hairline cracks in your foundation
Doors that don’t shut right
Uneven flooring

We work with detection pros and handle the dig, repair, and patch ourselves.

5. A Strong Sewage Smell Inside or Outside

That smell isn’t just unpleasant — it’s a signal.
Sewer gas escaping into your home or yard means the system isn’t sealed properly.

If you’re smelling it, there’s a break, gap, or blockage somewhere down the line.
