Sewer line repair and replacement

A clog clears and stays clear. A broken or root-filled pipe keeps clogging. A camera inspection answers the question for certain, and we follow sewer line clog clearing with a video inspection.

Usually not. Locating equipment pinpoints the problem, so most repairs need only a targeted hole. We discuss trenchless options when they fit the job.

Yes. We repair the line from the house to the septic tank and can tell you when the problem is the tank or drain field instead of the pipe.

Cost depends on the depth of the pipe, the length of the damaged section, what sits above it and whether a spot repair or full replacement is needed. We show you the problem on camera and give you a clear price for each option before you decide.

Several drains backing up at once, sewage in the lowest tub or shower, a sewer smell in the yard, soggy or extra green patches over the line, and clogs that return soon after cleaning are the most common signs.

Around Eatonton we most often find tree roots in older joints, cracked or collapsed pipe from age or shifting soil, sags that hold waste, corroded cast iron and joints that have pulled apart.

It depends on the material. Cast iron and clay can last many decades but become prone to corrosion and root intrusion as they age. Modern PVC holds up well when installed correctly. A camera inspection shows the real condition of your line.

A single broken joint or a short bad section can usually be repaired with one targeted dig. When the line is collapsing along its length or full of roots from end to end, replacement is the better long-term value. We walk you through both with honest prices.

Many standard policies exclude wear, tear and root damage, though some cover sudden breaks or offer service line coverage as an add-on. Check your policy. We can document the camera findings and the repair for your claim.

It varies with the lot and how the house was built. Some lines run just a couple of feet down, while others are much deeper. Our locating equipment measures the depth at the problem spot so the dig is planned correctly.

In most systems the property owner is responsible for the line from the house to the public sewer connection, and the city maintains the main. On septic, the whole line is yours. If you are not sure where your part ends, we can help you find out.

A belly is a low spot where the pipe has sagged. Waste and water settle there and cause repeated clogs. A small belly can sometimes be managed with cleaning, while a larger one usually means that section should be replaced.

Cutting and jetting clears roots, but they tend to return wherever the pipe has an open joint or crack. A lasting fix means repairing or replacing the damaged section so roots no longer have a way in.

Many spot repairs are finished in a day. Full replacements take longer depending on length, depth and access. You get a realistic schedule with your estimate.

Usually not during the repair itself, since water sent down the drains flows to the open work area. We keep that window as short as possible and tell you when everything is back in service.

Yes. Corroded cast iron can be repaired in sections or replaced. Many older homes in Eatonton, Greensboro and Madison still have cast iron drains, and we can show you their condition on camera.

Orangeburg is a fiber pipe bonded with tar that was used for sewer lines in some homes from the 1940s into the 1970s. It tends to deform and collapse with age, so replacement is usually recommended when we find it.

Sewer work often requires a permit and inspection from the local building department, depending on the jurisdiction and the scope of the job. We let you know what your jurisdiction requires before work begins.

Yes. We handle sewer line augering, rooter service, repair and replacement for restaurants, offices and rental properties. See commercial plumbing.

Yes. A cracked or broken line can leak sewage into the soil, which causes odors and wet or unusually green spots. Call us to locate the break before it gets worse.
