It depends. A broken sewer line can release harmful raw sewage into your property, making it dangerous and unsanitary. If the break is not fixed, the sewage could eventually backup into your home or flood your yard.

A broken sewer line can be very dangerous. It can cause raw sewage to back up into your house, and it can also contaminate groundwater and local waterways. If you think you have a broken sewer line, please contact a professional immediately.
