Our Comprehensive Sewer Plumbing Service Process

Addressing sewer line issues requires specialized expertise and equipment. Our process is designed to be minimally invasive, highly accurate, and focused on providing a long-term solution.

Step 1: High-Resolution Sewer Camera Inspection

We begin every sewer service with a Plumbing Inspection using a high-resolution, waterproof camera. This non-invasive step is crucial for accurately diagnosing the problem, determining the exact location and depth of the damage (e.g., crack, collapse, or root intrusion), and assessing the overall condition of the pipe before recommending a solution.

Step 2: Diagnosis and Solution Recommendation

Based on the camera inspection, we provide a clear, detailed report and present the most cost-effective and durable solution. Options range from targeted Hydro-Jetting to clear blockages to advanced trenchless repair methods, which minimize yard disruption, or a full sewer line replacement if the damage is extensive.

Step 3: Precision Repair or Replacement

For repairs, we prioritize trenchless technology, such as pipe lining or pipe bursting, which allows us to repair or replace the damaged section with minimal excavation. For full replacement, we adhere to the highest standards of safety and local code compliance, ensuring a durable, long-lasting system.

Step 4: Final Testing and Site Restoration

After the repair or replacement is complete, we perform a final water flow test and, if necessary, a post-service camera inspection to verify the integrity of the new line. We then restore the work area, ensuring the site is left clean and safe.

  • What are the most common signs of a main sewer line problem?

    The most common signs include multiple plumbing fixtures backing up simultaneously (e.g., toilet and shower), a foul sewer odor coming from drains, or gurgling sounds from the toilet when the sink is draining.

  • What is the difference between sewer repair and sewer replacement?

    Sewer repair typically involves fixing a localized issue, often using trenchless methods like pipe lining to seal a crack or break. Sewer replacement is necessary when the pipe is extensively damaged, collapsed, or corroded throughout its length, requiring the installation of an entirely new line.

  • What is trenchless sewer repair?

    Trenchless sewer repair is a minimally invasive technique that allows technicians to repair or replace a sewer line without digging a large trench across the property. It involves accessing the pipe through small entry points and using specialized equipment to pull a new pipe through the old one or line the existing pipe with a durable epoxy material.

  • Can tree roots really damage a sewer line?

    Yes. Tree roots are the number one cause of sewer line damage. They are naturally drawn to the water and nutrients inside the pipe. Once a small crack or loose joint is found, the roots will infiltrate the pipe, grow, and eventually cause a severe blockage or even crush the pipe entirely.

  • How often should I have my sewer line inspected?

    It is highly recommended to have a sewer line camera inspection every two to three years for preventative maintenance, especially if your home is over 20 years old or if you have large trees near your sewer line.
