Emergency Sewer Line Repair
Sewer line issues can affect your entire home. That’s why we offer emergency plumbing services to restore your sewer line quickly and eliminate issues like leaking wastewater, mildew, and more.Â


Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair
While things like slow drains and localized clogs may only require professional drain cleaning, these issues likely require sewer line repair:
- Sewage backup: Sewage or wastewater that backs up in your home is a sign of a more serious sewer line issue.
- Lush lawn: Patches of grass that are particularly lush or soggy may be a sign of leaky or broken pipes that are allowing wastewater to seep into your soil.
- Multiple drain issues: If you’re noticing slow drainage out of many fixtures simultaneously, the root of the issue is likely in your sewer line.
- Severe clogs: Repeated or severe clogs could result from tree root infiltration, which creates both cracks and blockages. Â
- Foul odors: The persistent smell of sewage around your yard could be caused by a leaking sewer line.
Our expert plumbers use video camera inspections to determine the cause of your sewer line issues. This allows us to examine your pipes in real time and pinpoint the exact location of your problems.
Sewer Repair Methods We Use
Our team has the skills and training to restore your sewer line to safe and reliable use. Depending on the severity of your issue, we offer two different repair methods:
Traditional Sewer Line Repair
Traditional sewer line repair requires excavating the ground around the pipes to access and repair any damage. This method is most often used for extensive damage, where pipes are severely damaged, corroded, or collapsed.
It’s also the best option for complex repairs or if there are particular accessibility challenges.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
Trenchless sewer line repair is minimally invasive and works by curing a new pipe lining within the existing pipe.
Unlike traditional sewer repair, trenchless doesn’t require excavation and is used whenever possible to minimize the impact on the surrounding yard.Â
