Our Sewer Line Repair & Replacement Process

01

Camera Inspection

A sewer camera is run through the line to visually inspect the full length of pipe, identifying cracks, root intrusion, offset joints, and collapse.

02

Diagnosis & Options

Based on inspection findings, we present repair options — spot repair, trenchless pipe lining, pipe bursting, or traditional excavation.

03

Repair

The selected repair method is performed by licensed sewer technicians with proper permits and inspections where required.

04

Post-Repair Inspection

A final camera inspection confirms the repair is complete and the line has full, unobstructed flow before we leave.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement FAQ for Detroit Homeowners

How often should Detroit homeowners get sewer line repair & replacement?
Given Detroit's lake-effect snow from lake st. clair and lake erie (avg 43 inches), most homeowners benefit from sewer line repair & replacement at least once a year. Ice dam prevention on low-slope roofs (Nov–March) often makes spring or fall the optimal time to schedule service.
What home types in Detroit most need sewer line repair & replacement?
Brick bungalows and colonials throughout Wayne County and Tudor and Colonial Revival in Grosse Pointe and Birmingham are the most common home types in Detroit and typically see the most wear. Our local pros are familiar with the exterior materials found across the metro.
What are the signs of a failing sewer line?
Multiple drains backing up simultaneously, gurgling sounds from drains, sewage odors in the yard or home, wet patches in the yard above the sewer line, and recurring drain clogs despite professional clearing.
What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless methods — pipe lining (CIPP) and pipe bursting — repair or replace sewer pipes with minimal digging, typically just access pits at each end. The yard is largely undisturbed compared to traditional excavation.
How long does sewer line repair last?
Trenchless CIPP lining has a 50+ year expected lifespan. Pipe bursting installs new HDPE pipe with a 100-year lifespan. Traditional pipe with proper bedding also lasts for decades.
Will my homeowner's insurance cover sewer line repair?
Standard policies typically exclude underground sewer lines. Sewer line insurance riders are available from many insurers and are often worth the modest annual premium.
