Spotting Sewer Repair Needs
A simple clogged drain is easy to detect. But how can you know when a clogged or slow drain is a symptom of a larger problem down in the sewer line? There are a few warning signs:
- Multiple Clogged Drains: When more than one drain becomes slow or clogged at a time, the clogging is probably deeper down in the drainage system. Be especially wary if the drains in the lower part of the house clog up first.
- Gurgling Sounds: If sewage starts to build up in your sewer line, you’ll begin hearing gurgling sounds coming from the drains after the water goes down them. This is sewer gas getting released into the water that’s trapped above it.
- Soggy Bad–Smelling Patches on the Lawn: When you notice foul-smelling damp spots on your yard, you probably have a leaking sewer line that needs to be repaired ASAP.
Professional Plumbers to the Rescue
You can’t handle sewer line services on your own. They aren’t the responsibility of the utility company either. If the sewer line runs under your property, it’s your job to have it fixed—which means calling professional plumbers to fix it!
Our licensed plumbers can use hydro–jetting to provide sewer cleaning and clean out a clogged-up sewer pipe. We also have the best in trenchless technology to fix leaks and breaks from the inside—without needing to rip up your yard. In some cases, however, we may need to replace the entire sewer pipeline. Sewer pipes made from outdated material like cast iron, clay, or galvanized steel are best replaced with copper. We can also use trenchless technology to do this job fast and without disruptive digging.

Frequently Asked Questions – Sewer Pipe Repair & Replacement
If you’re dealing with sewer line problems, here are some of the most common questions homeowners ask—and what you should know.
What are the warning signs that my sewer pipe needs repair?
Common signs include multiple drains backing up, slow drainage in tubs or sinks, foul or sewage-like odors in or outside the home, gurgling sounds from plumbing fixtures, wet or soggy patches in your yard, or sudden increase in pest activity. When you notice one or more of these, it’s wise to have a plumbing professional inspect your sewer line.
What is the difference between repair and full replacement?
A repair is a fix to a localized issue, such as a crack, small leak, root intrusion, or localized corrosion. A full replacement becomes necessary when damage is widespread, pipes are deteriorated, collapsed, or failing repeatedly. Inspection using camera tools often helps decide which is needed.
What pipe replacement or repair methods are available?
There are traditional methods that involve excavation (digging up the old pipe and laying a new one) and trenchless methods like pipe relining (CIPP), pipe bursting, or slip-lining. Trenchless options tend to be less invasive, quicker in many cases, and can preserve landscaping and driveways.
How long does sewer pipe repair or replacement take?
The timeline depends on the method and extent of damage. Minor repairs can sometimes be done in a day, trenchless replacements may take a day or two, and full pipe replacements (excavation involved) can span multiple days.
What can I do to prevent future sewer pipe problems?
Preventative steps include: avoiding flushing non-flushable items, keeping grease out of drains, planting trees away from sewer lines, scheduling regular inspections (especially for older pipes), using enzyme-based cleaners rather than harsh chemicals, and ensuring proper slope and joints.
