Potential Risks of a Sewer Line Leak

Sewer line leaks pose significant risks to both property and public health, necessitating prompt detection and remediation.

Understanding the potential risks associated with sewer line leaks is crucial for homeowners and communities alike. 

Here are some key hazards of neglecting sewer line leaks:
