A broken septic or sewer pipe can cause severe property damage by releasing raw sewage into the surrounding area. This can lead to contamination of soil, unpleasant odors, and potential health hazards for occupants. The leakage may infiltrate basements, crawl spaces, or yards, damaging structures and landscaping. Prolonged exposure to sewage can compromise building foundations and create an environment for mold and harmful bacteria to thrive. Immediate professional intervention is essential to repair the pipe, clean the affected areas, and prevent long-term environmental and structural consequences.
