What Affects the Price?

  • What the camera inspection finds
  • How deep and how long the damaged section is
  • Whether digging is needed and what’s above the line, like a driveway or landscaping

You’ll see your options and pricing before any work begins.

Signs of a Sewer Line Problem

  • Several drains backing up at the same time
  • Gurgling toilets or drains
  • Sewage smells inside or outside your home
  • Water around a basement floor drain
  • Soggy or unusually green patches in the yard

Camera Inspection First

We inspect your sewer line with a camera to find the exact problem and location before any work begins. Common causes include tree roots, buildup, and pipes that have cracked, shifted or collapsed.

Your Repair Options

Some problems can be cleared with drain cleaning. Others need a section of pipe repaired or replaced, and some sewer repairs do require digging. We’ll explain what we found and give you your options with pricing before any work begins.

What to Expect on a Service Visit

  1. You get a text confirmation. Once your visit is booked, you’ll get a text confirming it. When your technician is on the way, you’ll get another text with their photo and a link to track their arrival.
  2. We call ahead. Your technician calls on the way, and even asks if you’d like a coffee or anything from the store.
  3. We arrive ready. Our trucks usually carry the parts to fix the problem during that first appointment.
  4. We respect your home. Technicians wear shoe covers and clean up the work area when the job is done.
  5. We diagnose the problem. We ask about what you’re noticing, then do a thorough evaluation.
  6. You see your options first. We give you all your options with pricing before any work begins, and we only move forward with your approval.

Warranty

Our plumbing repairs come with a 1-year parts and labor warranty, unless your quote says otherwise.
