Sewer line repair and replacement services including trenchless technology for minimal property disruption.
Sewer line problems
Sewer line issues can cause sewage backups, foul odors, slow drains throughout the property, and wet spots in the yard. These problems often develop gradually, making early detection challenging. Common causes include tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, shifting soil, and blockages from debris or grease buildup.
Recognizing the warning signs early can prevent a sewer line failure that requires expensive emergency repairs. Multiple fixtures draining slowly, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in the basement, and lush patches of grass over the sewer line are all indicators that your sewer line may need attention.
Video camera inspection
Before any repair work begins, we perform a thorough video camera inspection of your sewer line to identify the exact location, nature, and extent of the problem. A high-definition camera travels through the pipe, providing real-time video that reveals cracks, breaks, root intrusion, bellied sections, and blockages.
Video inspection allows us to make an accurate diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate repair method. It also helps us determine whether a spot repair is possible or if the entire line needs replacement. The inspection video is documented and shared with you for a clear understanding of the condition.
Repair options
Traditional sewer line repair involves excavating the damaged section and replacing it with new pipe. While effective, this method requires significant excavation that can damage landscaping, driveways, and hardscaping. For buried lines under concrete or established landscaping, trenchless repair options may be available.
Trenchless sewer repair methods include pipe lining and pipe bursting. Pipe lining creates a new pipe within the existing damaged pipe using an epoxy-impregnated liner that is inflated and cured in place. Pipe bursting breaks the old pipe while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place. Both methods minimize surface disruption.
Prevention and maintenance
Regular sewer line maintenance helps prevent emergency repairs. Annual inspection and cleaning removes buildup and identifies potential problems before they become emergencies. Avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items, pouring grease down drains, and planting trees near sewer lines also helps protect your sewer system.
For properties with mature trees, periodic root treatment can prevent root intrusion into sewer lines. Chemical treatments create a barrier that discourages root growth near pipes without harming the tree. Our team can recommend the right preventive maintenance schedule for your property.
