Signs You Need Sewer Repair
Multiple Drain Backups
When multiple drains in your home back up simultaneously, it often indicates a problem with your main sewer line. This is especially concerning when lower-level drains are affected first.
Sewage Odors
Persistent sewage smells around your property, especially near drain cleanouts or in your yard, indicate sewer line damage that allows gases and waste to escape.
Slow Draining Throughout Home
When all drains in your home drain slowly, despite individual drain cleaning efforts, the problem is likely in your main sewer line rather than individual fixtures.
Lush Patches in Yard
Unusually green or lush areas in your yard, especially in lines or patches, can indicate sewer line leaks that are fertilizing the soil with waste water.
Advanced Sewer Diagnostics
Video Camera Inspection
Our high-definition sewer cameras provide real-time visual inspection of your sewer lines. This technology allows us to identify exact problem locations, pipe condition, and the best repair approach.
Hydrostatic Testing
Hydrostatic testing uses water pressure to test sewer line integrity and identify leaks. This comprehensive testing method helps us assess the overall condition of your sewer system.
Smoke Testing
Smoke testing helps identify illegal connections, broken pipes, and missing cleanout caps. This method is particularly useful for locating problems in complex sewer systems.
Sewer Repair Methods
Traditional Excavation Repair
For severely damaged sewer lines, traditional excavation provides access for complete pipe replacement. We use efficient excavation techniques to minimize landscape disruption and restore your property.
Trenchless Pipe Lining
Trenchless pipe lining installs a new pipe inside the existing damaged pipe, creating a seamless, durable repair without excavation. This method is ideal for pipes with structural integrity but internal damage.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting replaces old sewer lines by breaking the existing pipe while simultaneously installing new pipe. This trenchless method provides complete pipe replacement with minimal excavation.
Spot Repairs
For localized damage, spot repairs provide cost-effective solutions. We can repair specific sections of sewer line without replacing the entire system, saving time and money.
Emergency Sewer Services
24/7 Emergency Response
Sewer emergencies can't wait. We provide round-the-clock emergency sewer repair services to address backups, overflows, and other urgent sewer problems that threaten health and property.
Sewage Cleanup Coordination
When sewer backups cause contamination, we coordinate with cleanup specialists to ensure proper sanitization and restoration. We work with insurance companies to document damage and facilitate claims.
Temporary Solutions
While permanent repairs are being arranged, we can implement temporary solutions to restore basic sewer function and prevent further damage to your property.
Preventive Sewer Maintenance
Regular Inspections
Annual sewer line inspections help identify problems before they become emergencies. Our video camera inspections provide detailed assessments of pipe condition and potential issues.
Root Removal
Tree roots are a common cause of sewer line damage. We provide root removal services and can install root barriers to prevent future root intrusion into your sewer lines.
Preventive Cleaning
Regular sewer line cleaning removes buildup and debris that can lead to blockages and damage. Preventive cleaning extends sewer line life and prevents costly emergency repairs.
Sewer Repair FAQ

Common causes include tree root intrusion, pipe age and corrosion, ground shifting, improper installation, and flushing inappropriate items. Regular maintenance helps prevent many of these issues.
Is trenchless sewer repair always possible?
Trenchless methods work for many situations but aren't always suitable. Factors like pipe condition, access points, and local codes determine the best repair method. We'll assess your specific situation and recommend the optimal approach.
