This page covers sewer line repair plus camera inspection, trenchless options, cleaning, and hydro jetting—so you can get the right fix based on what’s actually happening inside the pipe.

Common Sewer Line Problems

• Recurring sewer backups: multiple drains backing up, especially after using a washer or shower.
• Sewage odors: smells from drains, yard areas, or around cleanouts.
• Slow drainage throughout the home: symptoms across more than one bathroom or fixture.
• Tree root intrusion: roots entering joints and causing repeat blockages and damage.
• Cracked, offset, or collapsed lines: shifting soil, age, or pipe failure underground.
• Standing water or soggy yard areas: soft ground along the sewer path or near the foundation.
• Gurgling / bubbling drains: air displacement from restrictions in the main line.

Tip: If multiple drains are backing up at once, avoid using water until the issue is inspected. Continued flow can worsen the backup and increase damage inside the line.

Sewer Line Inspection, Cleaning
& Repair Options

Sewer line problems are not one-size-fits-all. The right approach depends on what’s inside the pipe, where the failure is located, and how much of the line is affected. Local plumbers may recommend camera inspection first, then cleaning or hydro jetting to restore flow, and targeted repair or trenchless methods when the pipe is damaged.

Sewer Camera Inspection
& Diagnosis

A sewer camera inspection is one of the fastest ways to confirm what is causing a sewer problem. Technicians can locate root intrusion, cracks, bellies (sagging sections), offsets, heavy buildup, or collapsed pipe. Once the issue is identified, plumbers can recommend the right next step—cleaning, spot repair, trenchless repair, or replacement.

Sewer Line Cleaning
& Root Removal

When the line is blocked by roots, grease, sludge, or debris, sewer line cleaning restores flow and helps prevent repeat backups. Plumbers may use professional cable machines to cut roots and clear blockages, then verify results with water testing or camera inspection. If the line is repeatedly clogging, a plumber will explain whether the pipe is damaged and needs repair.

Hydro Jetting Service
for Heavy Buildup

Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to scour the inside of the sewer or main drain line. It is often recommended for heavy grease buildup, thick sludge, or recurring blockages that standard snaking cannot fully remove. Jetting can improve flow and reduce odors, and it is commonly used as a prep step before lining when trenchless repair is planned.

Trenchless Sewer Repair
Options

Where site conditions allow, trenchless sewer repair can reduce disruption to landscaping and hard surfaces. Options may include pipe lining (rehabilitating the inside of the existing pipe) or pipe bursting (replacing the line through a guided pull). A plumber will confirm whether trenchless repair is appropriate based on pipe condition, access points, and layout.

Sewer Line Replacement
When Needed

If the sewer line has a cracked or collapsed section, plumbers may recommend a targeted spot repair. For older lines with widespread deterioration, repeated failures, or severe offsets, full replacement may provide the most reliable long-term outcome. Technicians restore proper slope and connections, then test flow to confirm the sewer system is working correctly.
