• Dirty water or sewage is backing up into your toilet, sink, tub, or shower.
• Your drains run slowly, or you have more than one clogged drain.
• Your pipes make strange noises, like gurgling, sucking, hissing, or banging.

Learn the Causes of Sewer Line Damage

The most common cause of sewer line damage is tree root intrusion. When trees, plants, or shrubs are planted in the absorption field of your sewer system, the roots grow downward in search of water. Eventually, they will wrap around your sewer pipes, crushing them as they grow. They can also infiltrate your sewer line through existing holes or breaks and cause clogs. Other common causes of damage which may necessitate sewer line repair are:

• Old or worn-out sewer pipes
• Combined pipelines
• Tree root intrusion or clogs from other organic matter
• Flushing or rinsing things down the pipes that cause clogs or buildup
• A city sewer system backup
• Lack of sewer line maintenance or sewer line repairs
• A poorly designed or installed sewer line
• Unstable ground caused by a sinkhole, erosion, heavy traffic or construction nearby, or earthquakes
• Broken sewer line due to frequent freezing and thawing of the sewer pipes

Here's a look at our methods of residential sewer line repair:

• Hydro Jetting and Drain Cleaning – We can use hydro jetting and drain cleaning services for sewer line issues caused by clogged sewer pipes. Our hydro jetting service uses high-pressure jets of water to break apart stubborn clogs and decades’ worth of buildup on the walls of your sewer line. We'll then flush the debris out into the city's sewer system.
• Drain Rooter Work – We can do drain rooter work if you need sewer line repairs due to tree root intrusion. We'll use a drain rooter to cut and break apart tree roots and other debris and flush them out with hydro jetting services.
• Pipe Relining – If your sewer line has small breaks or cracks, we can fix them with pipe relining. We’ll insert a specialized sleeve through the pipe. As it hardens and expands, it creates a seal that prevents leaks.
• Pipe Replacement – For more serious sewer line damage, we'll recommend pipe replacement. This sewer line repair method is still trenchless, and we can replace one or more sections of a broken sewer line. We'll use hydraulics to break apart the sewer line and replace the broken pipe sections.
