Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Sewer line repair involves fixing damaged or blocked pipes that carry wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. Repairs can range from patching small leaks or cracks to clearing blockages or repairing collapsed sections.
How do I know if my sewer lines needs repairs?
- Signs you may need sewer line repair include:
- Persistent bad odors around your home or yard
- Slow drains or frequent backups in sinks, toilets, or tubs
- Gurgling noises from drains or toilets
- Lush patches of grass over your sewer line path (sign of leaking sewage)
- Sewage backup inside your home or yard
How is the repair done?
Repair methods depend on the damage severity:
- Spot Repair: Excavating the damaged section and replacing it.
- Pipe Lining (Trenchless Repair): Inserting a resin-coated liner inside the existing pipe to seal cracks or holes without digging.
- Pipe Bursting: Pulling a new pipe through the old one to replace it without extensive digging.
Professional plumbers first assess the issue, often with camera inspections, then choose the best repair method.
