In Highland, we’ve got beautiful trees, established properties… and a lot of aging sewer lines that quietly take a beating all year.
As temperatures start to shift in Mobile — even just a few degrees — it’s the perfect time to check your system before problems rear their ugly (and smelly) head.
At Adams Plumbing & Drain Company, we handle sewer line repair in Highland homes every season. Here’s what you should be looking for right now — and what to do if something’s off.
🧪 1. Watch for Seasonal Drain Changes
Heading into fall and winter, we see more calls about:
- Slower drains
- More frequent toilet backups
- Gurgling from unused showers or tubs
- Yard puddles that don’t dry up
Why? Because colder air thickens grease, roots search harder for moisture, and lower household water use in cooler months allows small blockages to grow unnoticed.
🌳 2. Root Intrusion Picks Up
Highland has a ton of older trees — and those roots are notorious for creeping into clay and cast iron sewer pipes.
As trees prepare for winter, roots start reaching deeper and wider, looking for water inside your line. If there are even small cracks or loose joints? They’re getting in.
A quick fall inspection can save you from a major spring repair bill.
🚫 3. Ignore Warning Signs and You Could Be Digging in January
We’ve had Highland homeowners wait until the line fully backs up — in 38° weather — to call. At that point:
- It’s urgent
- It’s expensive
- And it’s usually a full replacement
Don’t wait. If you notice early signs now, we can usually dig a small section, replace a section of pipe, and get you back to normal in hours — not days.
