Plumber in Del Valle, TX 78617
If something seems wrong with the drain line leaving your Del Valle home, a look outside can help before you call.
Locate the cleanout and check the yard line
- 1Look for a capped pipe near the foundation or along the line to the street — that's usually the cleanout.
- 2Note any sewage odor near it or in the yard.
- 3Look for wet or sunken areas along the line's likely path.
- 4Don't open a cleanout if drains are backed up; contents can be under pressure.
If you smell gas, see sparks or face immediate danger, leave the home and call 911 or your utility from outside.
Questions
What if I don't have a cleanout?
Some homes lack an accessible one. Mention that on the call; access affects how the line is checked.
Is a yard odor always the sewer line?
Not always, but sewage odor near the line is worth checking. Note where and when you notice it.
Can I open the cleanout cap?
It's safer not to if drains are backed up. Wastewater can spill out under pressure.
