Committed to Thorough, Accurate Services

Call or email for a quote. We can also validate a break in a sewer line with our video camera pipe evaluation service.

Our customers benefit from a safe underground visual in a timely, cost-effective manner possible due to our investment in video camera technology. This trenchless technology for water and sewer repair can save you significant time and money.

We highly recommend a video evaluation to confirm the break and its location. Should there be a break, a proper location can avoid the need to dig up your whole yard. We recommend you check with your water company, as some will offer rebates for water loss when leaks are fixed.

Building owners are responsible for maintaining pipes that connect to the city sewer main line.

We can help you with sewer pipe repairs such as:

  • Blockages: Foreign objects or grease buildup can restrict or fully stop the proper flow of the line
  • Bellied Pipes: A section of the pipe may sink due to soil conditions around it
  • Cracked, broken, collapsed, or offset pipe: Damage caused by frozen ground, shifting soil, and other environmental factors
  • Corrosion: Age or other factors may cause the pipe to deteriorate or break down, resulting in a collapse in the line
  • Root Infiltration: Roots from nearby trees or shrubs can impact the sewer line, making it impossible to properly clean them or even damaging the line entirely
  • Leaking Joints: Seals that connect pipes may be damaged, allowing water to leak into the area around the pipe
  • Off-Grade Pipe: If the existing pipes are made of substandard material, they may have begun to corrode or deteriorate

Signs You Need Professional Sewer Line Repair

Your sewer line is a crucial component of your plumbing system, responsible for carrying wastewater away from your home to the municipal sewer system or septic tank.

When it functions correctly, you likely don't think about it, but when problems arise, they can be disruptive and unsanitary. Recognizing the signs of sewer line issues is essential for addressing problems promptly.

Here are some common indicators that you may need professional sewer line repair:

  • Frequent Drain Clogs: If multiple drains in your home are consistently clogging or draining slowly, it could be a sign of a blockage or damage in the main sewer line.
  • Foul Odors: Persistent foul odors emanating from your drains or sewer cleanout can indicate a problem within the sewer line, such as a leak or break.
  • Backups and Overflows: Sewage backups in your drains, toilets, or bathtub can indicate a significant blockage or obstruction in the sewer line. This is a severe issue that requires immediate attention.
  • Gurgling Noises: If you hear gurgling or bubbling noises coming from your drains when using plumbing fixtures, it may suggest that there's air trapped in the sewer line due to a blockage or damage.
  • Soggy Yard or Puddles: Sewer line leaks or breaks can lead to water pooling in your yard or creating soggy areas. If you notice unexplained puddles or overly lush grass, it may be a sign of a sewer line problem.
  • Sewage Smells Outside: If you detect strong sewage odors outside your home, near the sewer cleanout or in your yard, it's likely a sign of a sewer line issue, such as a leak.
  • Slow Drainage Throughout the House: When water drains slowly in multiple fixtures, such as sinks, showers, and toilets, it suggests a systemic issue within the main sewer line.
  • Cracks in the Foundation: In severe cases, a damaged sewer line can lead to foundation issues, resulting in cracks in your home's foundation. These cracks may be accompanied by structural damage.
  • Tree Root Intrusions: If your home is surrounded by trees, invasive tree roots can infiltrate and damage sewer lines. Frequent blockages and backups may indicate tree root intrusions.
  • Age of the Sewer Line: If you have an older home with an original sewer line, it may be more susceptible to damage and may need inspection and repair.

When you notice any of these signs, it's crucial to contact a professional plumbing service promptly. Ignoring sewer line problems can lead to more extensive and costly issues.

Professional plumbers have the expertise and equipment needed to diagnose and repair sewer line problems, ensuring the proper functioning of your plumbing system and the sanitation of your home.

Sewer Line Repair FAQs

What are some common causes of sewer line damage?

Sewer line damage can be caused by a variety of factors, such as:

  • Tree root infiltration
  • Corrosion
  • Bellied pipes
  • And blockages

What is trenchless technology for sewer repair?

Trenchless technology is a method of repairing sewer lines without the need for extensive digging. It involves using specialized equipment to insert a new pipe liner into the existing damaged pipe, which then hardens and creates a new, seamless pipe within the old one.

Who is responsible for maintaining sewer pipes that connect to the city sewer main line?

Building owners are responsible for maintaining the pipes that connect to the city sewer main line.

How long does sewer line repair take?

The duration of sewer line repair depends on the complexity of the issue and the repair method used. Minor repairs may take a few hours, while more extensive repairs can take several days. A professional plumber can provide a more accurate time estimate after inspecting the sewer line.

Can tree roots cause sewer line damage?

Yes, tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines and cause damage. As trees grow, their roots can penetrate small cracks or joints in the pipes, leading to blockages and leaks. Regular maintenance and root treatments can help prevent tree root intrusion.

What is the difference between sewer line replacement and repair?

Sewer line repair involves fixing specific issues or damages in the existing sewer line, while sewer line replacement involves completely replacing the old sewer line with a new one. The decision between repair and replacement depends on the extent of the damage and the overall condition of the sewer line.
