Sewer line problems fall into distinct categories — each with its own repair approach. Here's how we handle each one.
Root Intrusion
Root Cutting & Mechanical Clearing
Root cutting is a temporary measure if the joints remain open. After cutting, we assess whether pipe lining to seal the entry points is warranted, or whether the joints are tight enough that regular maintenance clearing is the right long-term plan.
Structural Repair
Trenchless CIPP Pipe Lining
Cured-in-place pipe lining installs a flexible epoxy-saturated felt liner inside the existing pipe. The liner is inverted or pulled into position, inflated against the host pipe, and cured with hot water or steam. The result is a new, jointless pipe inside the old one — rated for 50+ years of service life.
Excavation
Open-Cut Sewer Line Replacement
When pipe sections have fully collapsed, when the pipe grade has reversed (creating a belly that holds standing sewage), or when root intrusion is too severe for lining to hold, traditional excavation is the correct repair. We locate the defect precisely on camera, mark the excavation footprint, call for utility locates, and dig to the pipe depth.
Diagnosis
CCTV Sewer Line Camera Inspection
Camera inspections are commonly requested by real estate buyers evaluating older homes in Stoneville where sewer line condition is a known concern. Our written scope report is accepted by attorneys, insurers, and buyers' agents.
Emergency
Active Sewer Backup Response
Active sewage backup into a structure is an emergency requiring immediate response. We dispatch on an emergency basis, clear the blockage to restore drain function, contain and document the affected area, and schedule the camera scope to assess underlying cause — either same-day or at the earliest opportunity.
Preventive
Sewer Line Maintenance Program
A written maintenance record documenting each cleaning and camera finding is useful evidence for insurance claims and demonstrates proactive maintenance if a catastrophic failure occurs.
