Answer
What are the signs of a sewer line problem? Uh typical signs are slow drains, um bubbling in your toilets or in your sink when you're running water through. Uh if your shower is just holding water and then eventually goes low, um toilets, you know, clogging up and then all of a sudden drain um after a couple minutes, things like that are signs of something's going on.
