  • Water or sewage backing up in the lowest fixture (often basement or first-floor tub)
  • Wet, sunken, or extra-green patches in the yard
  • Old clay, cast-iron, or Orangeburg piping; trees near the line (root intrusion)

Repair vs. Replacement — What’s Right for You?

We’ll start with a camera inspection to pinpoint the issue and recommend one of the following:

  • Sewer Line Cleaning (Descaling / Root Removal): For grease, scale, or light roots. Restores flow fast.
  • Spot Repair: Fixes a small section that’s cracked or offset.
  • Trenchless Repair (CIPP / Pipe Bursting): Minimal digging; ideal for long sections with cracks or root intrusion.
  • Full Replacement: Best for severely deteriorated lines or repeated failures. We handle permits and inspections.

Sewer Line FAQ

What are the signs of a broken sewer line?
Common signs include multiple slow drains, sewage odors, gurgling sounds from fixtures, or wet patches in the yard.

What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless methods (like pipe bursting or cured-in-place lining) replace or repair the line with minimal digging, reducing yard damage and project time.

Can tree roots damage my sewer line?
Yes. Roots seek out moisture and can crack or clog sewer pipes, especially older clay or cast iron lines.

How long does sewer line replacement take?
A typical replacement takes 1–3 days, depending on length, depth, and whether trenchless methods are used.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair?
Usually not, unless you’ve purchased specific sewer line coverage or a rider. Always check your policy.
