There are many solutions to repair broken or damaged sewer lines, regardless of the material or age of the pipe. Your plumbing service solution will be custom designed to your unique needs. Depending on the state of your sewer line, our local plumbers may suggest the following techniques to you:
- Snaking: This drain cleaning method involves using a long, flexible cable with a rotating blade at the end to break up debris in clogged drains and clear obstructions in your sewer line. Snaking is a fast and effective way to clear minor blockages and get your pipes flowing smoothly again.
- Sewer Video Camera: A sewer camera is a small, waterproof camera that is inserted in your sewer line to give our technicians a close-up look at the inside of your pipes. By using a sewer camera, we will quickly identify the cause of any blockages or damage and develop the best possible solution.
- Hydro Jet: Hydro jetting is a powerful method of cleaning your sewer line that involves using a high-pressure stream of water to blast away buildup and debris. Hydro jetting is an eco-friendly and effective way to remove even the toughest clogs and restore your pipes to their original condition.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
Trenchless sewer line repair is a modern, innovative sewer line replacement and repair method without extensive excavation. No longer using the traditional method of digging up a yard, we revolutionized our methods. Using specialized equipment, our plumbers will be able to plan the repair or replacement of your sewer line quickly and efficiently, minimizing disruption to your property and saving you time and money. We can choose from pipe relining or pipe bursting, depending on the age of your pipe, size, and extent of the damage.
- Pipe Lining: Pipe relining allows for a sleeve-like coating to be placed into the sewer pipe, which hardens and creates a durable seal. This stops leaks and cracks and will withstand everyday use.
- Pipe Bursting: If the current state of the pipe is damaged enough to require a completely new pipe, bursting allows for a new pipe installation without trench digging. This technique breaks apart your old pipe, seamlessly installing a new one in its place.

Sewer Line Maintenance
Maintaining your home's sewer line prevents costly repairs and keeps your plumbing system running smoothly. If the pipe is in good condition and the issue with the pipe is only a backup or clog, preventative maintenance may be the best choice. This may include:
- Regular Cleanings: One of the best ways to prevent sewer line problems is to have your pipes professionally cleaned regularly. This can involve using methods like hydro jetting or snaking to remove buildup and debris from your pipes, preventing clogs and backups.
- Tree Root Removal: Tree roots are a common cause of sewer line damage, as they can infiltrate your pipes and cause blockages or cracks. Regular tree root removal can help prevent these issues from occurring and can involve using specialized equipment to clear out the roots without damaging your pipes.
- Regular Inspections: Finally, having your sewer line inspected on a regular basis can help identify and prevent problems before they become more serious. By using methods like sewer video cameras, plumbing professionals can get a close-up look at your pipes and identify any potential issues, such as cracks, leaks, or buildup.
