No, there shouldn't be any standing water in a sewer line, this is what creates bad bacteria and disease. All waste needs to go down a sewer line and disappear ito the street sewer line. If this is the case, either you have a slight blockage or the sewer line gradient is incorrect. The correct ratio for the gradint of a sewer line must be 1:40 (meters) simpler measurement for slope is 1/4" per foot(ideal). absolute minimum 1/8" per foot(not recommended except where not avoidable)
