Sewer Line Diagnostics, Repair & Trenchless Replacement
Full inspection, clearing, trenchless pipe lining, and lateral sewer line replacements.
A damaged sewer lateral pipe puts entire households at risk of hazardous biological contamination and property damage. Whether dealing with ancient clay pipes collapsed by tree roots, shifted Orangeburg pipe, or sagging cast iron, technicians restore proper wastewater outflow efficiently.
Emergency Warning Signs
- Raw sewage bubbling up into basement drains or low ground-floor fixtures
- Soggy, unusually lush, or sunken patches in your front or backyard lawn
- Persistent sewage or sulfur odors outdoors or around the perimeter of the home
- Multiple drains throughout the house draining slowly simultaneously
Common Causes
- Aggressive tree roots penetrating pipe joints to access moisture
- Ground movement causing pipe bellying, offset joints, or shear cracking
- Internal scaling and bottom channeling in aging cast iron pipes
- Accumulation of calcified grease and non-biodegradable debris
How Our Technicians Diagnose It
- High-definition continuous video camera inspection through main cleanout access
- Sonar transmitter sonde tracking to trace the exact depth and path of the sewer line
- Laser profiling to measure pipe roundness and structural integrity
Repair Solutions
- Trenchless cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) epoxy lining to form a seamless new interior pipe
- Pipe bursting to pull a heavy-duty HDPE replacement pipe through the old line
- Targeted excavation and spot repair of localized breaks or offset joints
- Installation of code-compliant dual-directional sewer cleanouts
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the advantage of trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless methods (like epoxy relining or pipe bursting) restore damaged sewer lines without destroying your driveway, landscaping, or sidewalk, saving significant restoration time and surface repair costs.
Who is responsible for the sewer line connecting my house to the street?
In most US municipalities, the property owner is responsible for the entire sewer lateral pipe from the house connection all the way to the municipal main connection at the street.
