Residential service
A failing sewer line can be repaired or fully replaced — the right call depends on what the camera inspection shows. We diagnose the problem first, offer isolation testing to pinpoint the fault, and use sewer-line jetting for grease and buildup where the pipe condition allows. Widespread failures may call for whole-house sewer-line replacement; clearing roots does not repair cracks or separated joints.

Why it matters
Your sewer line carries everything out of your home, and when it fails the consequences are serious: sewage backups, contaminated yards, and damage that grows more expensive the longer it goes unaddressed. Modern diagnosis — camera inspection, isolation testing, and hydro-jetting — means we can see exactly what is wrong and fix only what needs fixing, instead of digging up your whole yard on a guess.
A camera inspection reveals roots, cracks, separated joints, and bellies, and locating equipment maps exactly where each problem sits in your yard.
Isolation testing checks sections of the line one at a time to confirm which stretch is failing, and sewer-line jetting removes grease and buildup in suitable piping so the camera can inspect the pipe more clearly. Cleaning does not repair damaged pipe.
An isolated defect gets a targeted spot repair; widespread deterioration justifies replacement. Either way, you see the footage and test results behind the recommendation.
Camera footage can reveal roots, cracks, separated joints, and standing water. Locating the line helps connect those findings to a position in the yard. If a blockage prevents a useful view, clearing the obstruction may be necessary before the condition can be assessed.
By isolating sections of the line and testing them separately, we can tell exactly which stretch of pipe is failing. That means a targeted spot repair instead of replacing more of the line than necessary — and confidence before any digging begins.
Sewer-line jetting uses high-pressure water to remove grease and buildup blockages when the pipe condition allows. Cleaning can restore flow and improve inspection, but cannot fix cracks, separated joints, or collapsed pipe. Root intrusion may require replacing the damaged section; clearing roots does not necessarily resolve the underlying problem.
An isolated defect may suit a localized repair. Widespread deterioration, sagging sections, or repeated failures can justify complete sewer-line replacement, including whole-house replacement where appropriate. The camera footage, isolation test results, pipe material, slope, and local requirements all influence the choice — and we show you exactly why we recommend one over the other.
Avoid running water if sewage is backing up. Make known cleanouts accessible and share any history of repairs, tree-root problems, or previous camera inspections.
Flush only toilet paper and human waste. Keep grease out of sinks and discuss recurring root intrusion rather than relying on repeated emergency clearing.
FAQ
It shows the inside of accessible pipe, but heavy debris or standing water can limit visibility. Additional cleaning, locating, or testing may be needed.
It is a way of testing sections of the sewer line one at a time to pinpoint where the pipe is failing. The results confirm whether a spot repair is enough or whether a larger replacement makes sense.
Jetting removes grease and buildup from suitable sewer piping and can restore flow or improve camera visibility. Pipe condition is checked first. Root clearing is not a structural repair; damaged pipe may need replacement.
Not necessarily. Roots commonly enter through cracks or separated joints. Clearing them may temporarily restore flow, but the entry point remains; damaged pipe may require replacement.
Not necessarily. The cause and extent of damage should be confirmed before choosing between cleaning, a spot repair, and replacement.
