- Gurgling noises coming from the toilet
- Absence of water in the toilet

How We Can Restore Your Plumbing System
Sewer repair is among our specialties at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Newark. We'll make every effort to get your system up and running again, fixing any cracks and damage along the way. It's our goal to prevent an expensive replacement, no matter what. Here are a few approaches we can take to avoid the residential sewer line replacement cost:
- Pipe relining: The pipe relining process involves cleaning out the pipes and applying new lining to the inside. The lining will harden in just a few hours, and your pipes will be good to go again.
- Burst pipe hydraulic replacement: In the case of a severely damaged pipe, we may need to pull a new pipe through the old one. We use a trenchless technique and hydraulics to break apart the damaged component, remove it, and replace it with a brand-new pipe.
