Warning signs
A broken sewer line rarely fails all at once. Watch for these.
Water comes up in a basement drain or shower when fixtures upstairs run.
The problem is in the main line, not one fixture.
Air is being pushed through the line by a blockage.
Inside the house or over the line in the yard.
Sewage leaking from a broken line softens the ground.
Roots and breaks grow back after every snaking.
Camera first
You see what we see: the crack, the roots, the sag or a clean pipe that just needed clearing.

Know your pipe
Most homes built before the 1970s have one of the first three.
Tar paper pipe laid in the 1940s to 60s. It softens, flattens and lets roots in.
Short sections with many joints. Roots find their way into every one.
Strong, but rusts and scales from the inside until it cracks.
Newer plastic pipe. Usually fails only from ground movement or bad joints.
Who owns it
Your responsibility starts at the cleanout near the curb and runs to the house.
The lateral from the main to your house is yours. The city cleans its right-of-way section for a first backup caused by the city main.
Most homeowners policies exclude roots and worn out pipe. Some offer a service line add-on. Ask your agent.

We fix the line by digging or trenchless, then show you the footage of the finished pipe.
Before you book
It depends on the length and depth of the line, the pipe material, what is in the way and the permit. The camera inspection tells us, and you get the price in writing.
Not always. Lining and trenchless replacement use a cleanout or small pits. When a trench is the right fix, we tell you why first.
Snaking clears a clog but does not fix a broken pipe. If the line keeps backing up, the camera shows why.
Most policies exclude roots and worn out pipe. Some offer a service line add-on. Ask your agent.
Spread the cost over monthly payments. Ask about financing when you call.

FAQ
Still not sure what you need? Call and ask. We will tell you straight whether it needs a visit.
Repeated backups, several slow drains at once, gurgling toilets, sewage odors and soggy or sunken spots in the yard all point to a damaged sewer line. A camera inspection confirms what is wrong and where.
Often, yes. A single break or root entry point can be repaired, and many cracked or corroded pipes can be restored with trenchless pipe lining. Full sewer line replacement is the better choice when the pipe has collapsed, sags badly or is failing along its length.
Tree roots, age, corrosion, shifting soil, settling that creates sags, grease buildup and older pipe materials that crack or separate at the joints.
The amount of digging depends on the depth, route and condition of the line. We plan access points to limit disruption, and when the pipe qualifies, trenchless pipe lining avoids digging a trench at all.
The timeline depends on the length and depth of the line, access, soil conditions, permits and the method used. We give you the expected schedule before work begins.
Cost depends on the length and depth of the line, the pipe material, access, landscaping or hardscaping in the way and local permits. We inspect the line and give you clear pricing based on the actual project.
Yes. Contact our team to request an estimate. Financing is also available. Ask about it when you call.
