Signs of Sewer Line Problems
Sewer line issues can be tricky because they often start subtly. If you’re noticing more than one slow drain in your home or unusual plumbing behavior, it may be time for a closer look. Common warning signs include:
- Frequent or multiple drain clogs
- Gurgling noises in toilets or drains
- Bad odors coming from drains or the yard
- Sewage backups in tubs, showers, or floor drains
- Patches of unusually green grass or soggy spots in your yard
- Sudden drop in water pressure
-
These symptoms can point to anything from a blockage to a collapsed pipe. A professional inspection will determine the cause and the best solution.
Sewer Line Repair and Replacement
Once the issue is identified, we’ll recommend the appropriate fix. Not every sewer problem requires full replacement — many issues can be solved with targeted repairs. However, if your pipe is heavily damaged or deteriorated, a replacement may be the better long-term solution.
We offer:
- Spot repairs for isolated damage
- Sewer line rerouting if pipe access or layout is compromised
- Full replacements using durable materials that meet today’s codes and performance standards
We’ll handle permits, trenching, and all restoration work, keeping you informed throughout the project and minimizing impact on your property.
Sewer Camera Inspections
Before any digging or major repair decisions, we perform a sewer camera inspection to get a clear, real-time view of your underground pipes. This non-invasive process allows us to locate the exact problem — whether it’s a clog, root intrusion, offset joint, or broken pipe — and plan the most effective repair.
Camera inspections help avoid guesswork, prevent unnecessary excavation, and give you a better understanding of the condition of your sewer system.

FAQs
How do I know if the problem is in my sewer line or just a drain?
If more than one fixture is backing up or multiple drains are slow, it’s often a sign of a main sewer line issue. We can confirm it with a camera inspection.
What causes sewer lines to fail?
Common causes include tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, shifting soil, aging materials, or foreign objects entering the system.
Do you have to dig up my whole yard to fix a sewer line?
Not always. If the damage is isolated, we can often repair or reroute just the affected section. Camera inspection helps us determine the least invasive solution.
How long does a sewer line replacement take?
Most replacements are completed in 1–3 days, depending on access, pipe length, and the extent of the damage. We’ll give you a clear timeline before work begins.
Can sewer line problems be prevented?
Yes. Regular drain cleaning, avoiding flushing non-degradable items, and monitoring tree root growth near sewer lines can help reduce the risk of future problems.
