SEWER LINE REPAIR

COMMON SEWER PIPE PROBLEMS
While normal drain use occasionally leads to backups, frequently slow drains or severe blockages can indicate a larger issue in the main sewer line. With an in-depth sewer camera inspection, our experienced team can identify the cause and walk our customers through multiple options for repair or replacement.

• Roots – Tree roots are the biggest cause of broken and backed up underground sewer lines. While trees enhance any property, roots seek out the moisture-rich nutrients found in sewers. They can enter through small cracks, and once inside do major damage including breaking the line and causing frequent backups.

• Heavy Scale Buildup – Poorly maintained drains and heavily used lines can become damaged from hard scale buildup in the pipe. As organic material sits in the line, it can stick to the inside of the pipe and slowly close off drain flow. Scale buildup can also cause pipes to crack and break over time.
• Breaks and Deterioration – Aging lines can eventually deteriorate leading to backups from missing or collapsed sections in both underground sewer pipes and in sewers underneath homes on raised foundations.

Sewer Line Repair

Main sewer line repairs can be performed by routine and professional snaking for minor clogs, hydro jetting for roots or heavy buildup, and with epoxy pipelining which can rehabilitate damaged pipes restoring them like new again.

Professional sewer snaking is typically the first step in diagnosing and repairing a blocked main sewer drain. However, if our drain experts encounter a hard spot, pull back roots, or suspect damage, we will recommend a sewer camera inspection to view the line. With a sewer camera inspection, we can determine the next steps in the repair process.

Hydro jetting can repair drains with root intrusion, heavy sludge, or grease buildup. We Hydro Jet with high pressure water streams using a multi directional nozzle. Hydro jetting scours 360 degrees of the drain, and is also an effective repair for sewer pipes in good condition.

If the sewer line has cracks, holes, or missing sections, epoxy pipelining may be the best method to rehabilitate the line. Using an epoxy resin and specialty liner, pipelining creates a brand-new pipe inside the damaged line or section without excavation.

Sewer Line Replacement

When aggressive root intrusion has broken a sewer line, if there are large sections missing, collapsed pipes, or large holes, the pipe will need to be replaced.

Our team can make small section replacements or replace the entire sewer pipe underneath homes and underground. The traditional method of sewer line replacement is through excavation of the sewer pipe and replacing it with a new ABS sewer pipe, or PVC if determined by city regulations.  For small breaks, this is easily the most cost effective for sections that are underneath the home or easily accessible earth.

Our team will assess your property needs and design the ideal schedule to ensure your septic tank remains fully operational.
