Repair

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

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.
