Signs Your Sewer Line May Need to be Repaired or Replaced

   Frequent Drain Backups

Your drain or toilet backing up regularly is a common sign that you have issues with your sewer pipe.

   Multiple Clogged Fixtures

If you have multiple fixtures clogged (e.g., toilet and shower) at the same time, the root cause could be an issue with your main sewer pipe.

   Slow-Draining Sinks and Bathtubs

Sinks and bathtubs draining slowly are common signs that your main sewer pipe is experiencing problems.

   Changes in Your Lawn

Your sewer line extends through your lawn, so monitor changes to your yard. Warning signs include soggy patches or indentations on your lawn.

Main Sewer Line Repair

Our team is skilled and experienced with a variety of issues related to fixing main sewer lines. Our plumbers use video inspections to determine if your main sewer line is clogged and where the blockage is located. Additionally, they are equipped with mechanical drain-clearing equipment and jets to remove the clog.

Main Sewer Line Replacement

In some cases, it makes more sense to replace your sewer line rather than have it repaired. You should consider having your main sewer line replaced if you have older pipes (50+ years old), or if you are frequently dealing with sewer line clogs – your pipes could be worn out or damaged beyond repair.
