Learn More About Our Sewer Line Repair Services
When our service professionals have determined the issue with your home’s sewer line, we’ll recommend a service based on the extent of the damage. Our team can access the latest technology to provide complete repair and replacement services without digging up your entire yard. We understand plumbing emergencies don’t always occur at the most convenient times, so our team is happy to provide flexible scheduling options for our customers. Our team will recommend one of the following for your damaged sewer line:
- Sewer Pipe Relining – For cracked or leaky sewer lines, we’ll begin by removing the dirt and debris built up along the pipe walls. Next, we’ll insert a lining that has been coated. After a few hours, the lining will harden to repair the damaged area. Our relining process is easier, more effective, and faster than traditional sewer line repair.
- Sewer Pipe Replacement – If your sewer line needs to be replaced, we will first use a hydraulic press to break up the PVC, clay, or cast-iron pipe. Next, we’ll pull through a new sewer pipe to replace the portion of your sewer line that had been damaged. Our trenchless techniques minimize the need for excavation.
- Preventative Maintenance – Preventative maintenance is the easiest way to prevent damage from occurring to your home’s sewer line. We can inspect the quality of your pipes with a plumbing video camera and remove dirt, hair, grease, and tree roots with our cleaning services.
