Our Sewer Line Inspection & Replacement Services
Sewer Camera Inspections
Advanced camera technology allows plumbers to see inside sewer lines, identifying blockages, cracks, or root intrusion with precision. This non-invasive method eliminates guesswork, providing accurate assessments and targeted solutions. Camera inspections save time, reduce costs, and ensure problems are resolved effectively without unnecessary digging or disruption.
Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
Trenchless methods minimize property disruption while repairing damaged lines. By using advanced techniques like pipe lining or bursting, sewer lines are restored without extensive excavation. This modern approach delivers durable results quickly, protecting landscapes, driveways, and structures while ensuring sewer systems function reliably for the long term.
Full Sewer Line Replacement
When damage is severe, full replacement may be necessary. Professional plumbers replace old or failing lines with modern, durable piping. This service ensures safe, long-lasting operation, preventing recurring issues. Full replacements restore system reliability, protect property from contamination, and deliver confidence in your plumbing’s performance for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my sewer line needs inspection?
Common signs include slow drains, frequent clogs, foul odors, or wet spots in the yard. Professional inspection using cameras identifies underlying problems accurately. Early detection prevents costly repairs and ensures your sewer system operates reliably without causing damage or health risks to your property.
What is involved in a sewer line inspection?
A sewer line inspection typically uses a specialized camera inserted into the pipes. This allows plumbers to see inside and identify issues like cracks, blockages, or root intrusion. The process is non-invasive, efficient, and provides accurate results for planning effective repair or replacement solutions.
When should a sewer line be replaced instead of repaired?
Replacement is necessary when sewer lines have extensive damage, repeated failures, or outdated materials. Professional plumbers evaluate the system’s condition and recommend the most cost-effective solution. Full replacement provides long-term reliability, preventing recurring issues and protecting properties from health hazards and structural damage.
How long does sewer line replacement take?
The timeline depends on factors like pipe length, extent of damage, and chosen repair method. Trenchless techniques often reduce time significantly compared to traditional excavation. Professional plumbers provide accurate estimates, ensuring homeowners and businesses know what to expect and minimizing disruption to daily life.
Are trenchless sewer repairs reliable?
Yes, trenchless sewer repairs are highly reliable and long-lasting. Techniques such as pipe lining and bursting restore structural integrity without extensive digging. These methods deliver durable results, minimize property damage, and allow sewer systems to function effectively for decades, making them a preferred modern solution.
Can tree roots really damage sewer lines?
Yes, tree roots are a common cause of sewer line blockages and damage. Roots infiltrate small cracks in pipes and expand, restricting flow. Professional root removal clears blockages and repairs underlying damage, ensuring long-term system performance and preventing recurring sewer line disruptions caused by root intrusion.
Do you offer emergency sewer services?
Yes, emergency sewer services are available 24/7 to address urgent problems like backups, leaks, or line collapses. Professional teams respond quickly with the tools and expertise needed to resolve issues. Rapid service prevents property damage, restores safe conditions, and ensures plumbing systems function reliably again.
How can I prevent sewer line problems?
Preventative maintenance is the best way to avoid major sewer issues. Regular inspections, professional cleanings, and early repairs keep systems running efficiently. By addressing small problems before they escalate, preventative care extends system lifespan, reduces costs, and ensures reliable sewer line performance for years to come.

Testimonials
Adam and his team are a fantastic. I have worked with them many times and they are the picture of professionalism. Their work is quality and clean and my other trades have even mentioned that their work is some of the better plumbing that they have seen.
CJ G.
Used Adam and his helper to repair a pinhole leak on a copper water pipe in my crawlspace. I could hear it from above. They efficently located the leak and determined about 3ft needed to be removed due to corrosion in a couple spots that would have lead to more pinholes. They used 2 propress adaptors and a stick of pex pipe to repair the leak. They were very professional and quick with their work. Fair pricing as well. Will be calling them if I have any plumbing issues in the future
