Preventive Maintenance Tips
- Schedule annual inspections and cleanings to remove early-stage buildup.
- Avoid flushing grease, wipes, or non-biodegradable items down the drain.
- Keep large trees and shrubs at least 15 feet away from sewer lines.
- Install a root barrier if nearby vegetation poses a risk.
- Monitor water bills and yard moisture levels for hidden leaks.
Our Sewer Repair Services
We deploy flexible, high-definition cameras into your sewer line to pinpoint:
- Blockages caused by debris, grease, or foreign objects
- Root intrusions where tree roots have breached pipe joints
- Cracks, corrosion, or pipe collapse due to age or ground movement
This noninvasive diagnostic step ensures targeted repairs and prevents unnecessary digging.
When conditions allow, we opt for trenchless methods to minimize property disruption:
- Pipe Lining: We insert a resin-coated liner that cures in place, sealing cracks and reinforcing pipe walls.
- Pipe Bursting: We fragment and expand the old pipe while simultaneously pulling in a new one.
Most trenchless projects wrap up in a single day without tearing up your lawn or drive.
For extensive damage or pipe layouts unsuitable for trenchless solutions, our crew:
- Excavate only the necessary area, using spot-digging techniques
- Remove and replace old pipes with high-density polyethylene (HDPE) or PVC
- Backfill and restore landscaping to its original condition
We coordinate all safety measures, including traffic control and permit acquisition.
Preventive maintenance keeps small clogs from turning into major repairs:
- Hydrojetting: High-pressure water scours the pipe interior, removing grease, sludge, and root fragments.
- Mechanical Rodding: Industrial-grade drain snakes tackle stubborn blockages in tight spots.
Regular cleaning extends the lifespan of your sewer system and reduces emergency call-outs.
When a sewer line fails, immediate action prevents property damage and health hazards:
- 24/7 availability with a rapid-response team on standby
- Temporary bypass pumping to keep your system operational until permanent repairs
- Full cleanup and sanitization of affected areas after repair

Frequently Asked Question
What are the signs that my sewer line needs repair?
Look for slow drains, gurgling noises, or sewage backups in your home. These can indicate a broken or clogged sewer line. Our team uses camera inspections to pinpoint the problem and recommend the best repair solution.
Can you repair sewer lines without digging up my yard?
Yes, we offer trenchless repair methods, like pipe lining or bursting, which minimize excavation. This technique restores your sewer line with less disruption to your landscaping, saving time and cost.
How long does a sewer line repair take?
Repairs typically take 1–3 days, depending on the damage extent and method used. Our efficient process includes diagnosis, repair, and testing to ensure your sewer system is fully operational again.
What causes sewer line damage?
Common causes include tree root intrusion, corrosion, or ground shifting. Regular inspections can catch these issues early. We provide advice on prevention during our service to help you avoid future problems.
Is sewer repair covered by insurance?
Coverage depends on your policy and the cause of the damage (e.g., wear and tear vs. sudden events). We can provide documentation to assist with insurance claims, and our team can guide you through the process.
