The work

About our sewer line repair

A sewer line failure means raw sewage can back up into your home, creating foul odors, wet spots in the yard, or slow drains throughout the house. Homeowners call us when they notice these warning signs and need fast, reliable help to stop the mess and avoid health hazards. The situation is urgent and stressful, and we understand that.

We start with a camera inspection: a waterproof camera on a flexible cable is fed into the cleanout or a toilet flange to see the pipe's interior live on a monitor. This reveals cracks, root masses, or collapsed sections. Depending on what we find, we may use a trenchless method with a liner or burst the old pipe, or we excavate with a mini-excavator to replace the damaged section with new PVC or cast iron.

The cost and time for sewer line repair shift with several factors. Access matters: a line under a concrete slab or deep in the ground takes more labor than one in a soft lawn. Pipe size and material—clay, cast iron, or PVC—affect repair methods. The length of the damaged section and whether roots or corrosion are involved also change the work. Weather can delay digging if the ground is frozen or saturated.

On the day of work, we protect your yard with plywood and tarps, and we mark underground utilities before digging. After the repair, we backfill the trench, compact the soil, and clean up debris. Before we arrive, you should clear the area around the cleanout or affected fixtures. Afterward, avoid flushing heavy items or pouring grease down drains for 24 hours to let any new joints set properly.

Trenchless Pipe Lining

An epoxy-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe, inflated, and cured in place, creating a new pipe inside the old one without digging.

Root Intrusion Damage

Tree roots seeking moisture enter through pipe joints or cracks, causing blockages and structural failure that requires cutting or full replacement.

How the job runs

Our 4-step sewer line repair process

Camera Inspection

We feed a waterproof camera into the sewer line to locate the exact blockage, crack, or root intrusion, and record the footage for your review.

Diagnosis & Plan

We explain what the camera shows, discuss repair options—trenchless lining, pipe bursting, or excavation—and give you a clear estimate before any work starts.

Repair Execution

We clear the line with a hydro-jetter or auger if needed, then perform the chosen repair: install a liner, burst the old pipe, or excavate and replace the damaged section.

Final Test & Cleanup

We run water through the system and re-inspect the repair with the camera to confirm it's watertight. Then we backfill, compact, and restore your yard.
