Why does a plumber dump dye into my drain?

IlliniGeek asked:
Why function does dye have when a plumber is seeing if my sewer is backed up ? How can I tell if I have a sewer leak ?
If the sewer leak is outside the house, how could I test for this issue ?

The dye will come out of any leaks and tell you exactly where they are.

He’s checking the line for any leaks, then he will seal them as he finds them. Have a great day!
