Every time there’s a big rainstorm, my basement drain backs up and sometimes even floods. I suspect the sewer line might be damaged or clogged. What kind of repair options should I consider, and is it better to fix the entire line or just deal with the clogs as they happen?

Sewer line issues can definitely get worse if left unchecked, especially in older Seattle homes where the infrastructure is already strained. The symptoms you describe — slow drains, foul odors, and basement backups — point to something beyond just a simple clog. It could be root intrusion, pipe corrosion, or even a partial collapse underground. In situations like this, inspection is the most important first step. I decided to bring in professionals instead of trying DIY fixes that might only make things worse, and this company in Seattle fixed my sewer line problems. They started with a camera inspection, explained exactly where the blockage was, and gave options for repair without pushing unnecessary work. The whole process was faster than I expected, and it gave me peace of mind knowing the problem wouldn’t return anytime soon. If you’re seeing those signs already, I’d recommend calling experts before it escalates.
