Frequently Asked Questions

• How Long Do Sewer Line Repairs Take?

  It depends on what’s wrong and how extensive the damage is. Some minor repairs, such as clogs or blockages, can be managed in a matter of hours, while others may take over a week. For a more accurate estimate, get a diagnostic inspection and an estimate.

• What Are Some Common Signs of Damaged Sewer Lines?

  Damaged sewer lines can cause signs such as:

  • Slow drainage, especially if it affects the whole house.
  • Sewage backs up through your drains, often when water is running.
  • Sewage odors.
  • Vibrant patches in your lawn where grass gets extra fertilizer from seeping sewage.
  • Sinkholes or persistently soggy patches in your yard.

• Do Sewer Line Repairs Require Digging Up My Yard?

  Not always. We have trenchless techniques, such as pipe bursting and lining, which allow for repairs without much digging. However, sometimes excavation makes more sense, such as when there’s significant damage or you need a full sewer line replacement.

• How Do Plumbers Diagnose Sewer Line Damage?

  Typically, plumbers perform a video camera inspection to diagnose sewer line damage. This enables your plumber to view the line from the inside with a flexible video camera and identify the exact issue, condition of your line, and where the damage is.

• Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Sewer Line Repairs?

  Homeowners' insurance only covers your sewer line repairs if the damage was caused by a covered peril as defined by your policy. The best way to know if your repairs will be covered is to speak to your insurance agent.
