Common Causes of Sewer Line Issues
✔ Tree Root Intrusions – Roots from nearby trees can break into underground pipes, causing blockages and structural damage.
✔ Aging & Corroded Pipes – Old cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg pipes can deteriorate, crack, and collapse over time.
✔ Grease & Debris Buildup – Fats, oils, and food waste can accumulate inside pipes, leading to slow drainage or complete blockages.
✔ Pipe Shifting or Misalignment – Ground movement, settling soil, or earthquakes can misalign pipes, causing leaks and poor flow.
✔ Flushing Non-Flushable Items – Wipes, paper towels, hygiene products, and foreign objects can clog your sewer line and cause backups.
Prevention Tip: Avoid planting large trees near your sewer line and never flush anything other than toilet paper and human waste.
Our Sewer Line Services
Sewer Camera Inspections
Using high-resolution video cameras, we inspect the inside of your sewer pipes to identify clogs, cracks, root intrusions, or structural damage. This non-invasive diagnostic method allows us to pinpoint issues without unnecessary digging.
Sewer Line Cleaning & Hydro-Jetting
For stubborn blockages caused by grease, roots, or debris, we use hydro-jetting—a high-pressure water jet that blasts away buildup and clears pipes without damaging them.
✔ Ideal for recurring sewer clogs.
✔ Removes years of buildup for better flow.
✔ Environmentally friendly and chemical-free.
Sewer Line Repair & Trenchless Solutions
If your sewer line has cracks, leaks, or misaligned sections, we offer two repair methods:
✔ Trenchless Pipe Lining (Cured-In-Place Pipe – CIPP) – A seamless epoxy lining is inserted into the existing pipe, sealing cracks and restoring function without excavation.
✔ Trenchless Pipe Bursting – The damaged pipe is broken apart while a new, durable pipe is pulled into place, replacing the old one without digging up your yard.
Sewer Line Replacement
If your sewer line is severely damaged or beyond repair, we provide full sewer line replacements using high-quality, long-lasting materials. Depending on the situation, we offer:
✔ Trenchless replacements – Minimally invasive for less mess and faster results.
✔ Traditional excavation – Used when necessary for severely collapsed pipes.
Choosing the right solution depends on your sewer pipe’s condition, location, and budget. We help you determine the best option after a thorough inspection.
Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
A slow drain might seem like a small inconvenience at first, but ignoring early warning signs can lead to major plumbing problems. Here’s how to tell when it’s time to call a professional:
1. Slow-Draining Sinks, Tubs, or Showers
If water takes longer than usual to drain from your sink or tub, it could mean a clog is forming deep inside your pipes. The longer you wait, the worse it will get.
Early Fix: Try flushing the drain with hot water and a mix of baking soda and vinegar. If the issue persists, professional cleaning may be needed.
2. Recurring Clogs That Keep Coming Back
Does your sink or shower drain seem to clog over and over again, no matter how many times you try to clear it? This likely means there’s a deeper blockage in your plumbing system, which DIY methods won’t fix.
Solution: A plumber can use drain snaking or hydro-jetting to remove stubborn, recurring clogs permanently.
3. Standing Water in Sinks, Bathtubs, or Showers
If water pools in your sink or tub instead of draining properly, you may have a full blockage. This can lead to bacteria buildup, mold growth, and unpleasant odors.
Warning: If multiple fixtures are affected at once, it could be a bigger problem in your main sewer line.
4. Gurgling Sounds from Drains or Toilets
Hearing gurgling or bubbling noises when you flush the toilet or run the sink? This is often a sign of air trapped inside your pipes, caused by a clog or venting issue.
What It Means: If left untreated, this can lead to slow drainage, sewer gas odors, or even a full pipe backup.
5. Foul Odors Coming from Your Drain
If you notice a musty, rotten, or sewage-like smell coming from your drains, it could mean:
✔ Food waste and grease buildup inside kitchen drains.
✔ Bacteria growth and decaying debris inside bathroom drains.
✔ Sewer gas escaping through clogged or broken pipes.
Immediate Action: A professional drain cleaning service can eliminate odor-causing buildup and restore proper drainage.
6. Water Backing Up from Multiple Drains at Once
If you flush the toilet and water starts bubbling up in your shower, or if multiple sinks and tubs drain slowly at the same time, you might have a main sewer line clog.
Warning: This is a serious issue—if left untreated, it could lead to a full sewage backup into your home. Call our

FAQs
How do I know if my sewer line is clogged or broken?
If you have slow drains, frequent backups, or foul odors, your sewer line could be clogged. A sewer camera inspection can confirm whether the issue is a blockage or a broken pipe.
How often should I get my sewer line inspected?
We recommend a sewer inspection every 2-3 years, especially if you live in an older home or have trees near your sewer line.
What is trenchless sewer repair, and is it better than traditional replacement?
Trenchless repair is a non-invasive method that fixes sewer pipes without digging up your yard or driveway. It’s often faster, less expensive, and more eco-friendly than traditional replacement.
What should I do if my toilet overflows when I use the sink or shower?
This usually indicates a main sewer line blockage. Stop using water immediately and call a professional to inspect and clear the line before it leads to a full backup.
How long does a sewer line replacement take?
A trenchless sewer repair can often be completed within one day, while a traditional sewer replacement may take 2-4 days, depending on the complexity.
