Sewer Line Repair & Drain Cleaning

Recurring clogs, slow drains, or sewage odors usually point to a deeper sewer line problem. We use camera inspection and dye testing to find the exact issue, then repair it — from a simple cleanout install to a full trenched pipe replacement.

Find It Once, Fix It for Good

Sewer problems rarely announce themselves clearly — they show up as gurgling drains, slow-moving fixtures, or a damp patch in the yard. Rather than guessing, we run an in-line camera to see exactly what's happening underground, whether it's root intrusion, a corroded joint like the one pictured above, or a bellied section of pipe.

Once we've confirmed the issue, we repair it the right way — targeted trenching when needed, new cleanout access points for easier maintenance going forward, and dye testing to confirm the fix before we backfill.

What's Included

  • Camera inspection to pinpoint the exact problem location
  • Targeted excavation and trenching, not guesswork
  • Full or partial sewer pipe replacement
  • New cleanout installation for easier future access
  • Dye testing to confirm proper drainage after repair
  • Trench backfill and site restoration
Sewage Odor, Gurgling Drains, or a Wet Spot in the Yard?

These are classic signs of a sewer line problem — the earlier we catch it, the smaller the repair.

FAQ

Common Questions

Multiple slow drains at once, gurgling toilets, sewage odor, or a soggy patch of yard near your sewer line are all signs pointing to the main line rather than a single fixture clog. A camera inspection gives us a definite answer.

Not usually. Camera inspection lets us pinpoint the exact problem area so we can excavate a targeted section rather than the entire line.

Yes — adding a cleanout access point is a common upgrade that makes future drain maintenance much faster and less invasive.

A targeted, single-section repair is often completed in a day; longer or more extensive replacements may take 2–3 days including inspection and backfill.
