Sewer &
Water Lines

What you're noticing

Sewer and water line trouble tends to announce itself in a few ways:

• Sewage backing up again and again
• Standing water or wet patches in the yard
• Several drains slow at the same time

Underneath, it's usually one of these: tree roots, a blockage, pipe corrosion, a bellied (sagging) pipe, leaking joints, or a cracked, broken or collapsed section.

How we find the cause

It's hard to judge a buried pipe from the basement. We use non-invasive methods, including a fiber-optic sewer camera, to look inside the line and see where the problem is and what it is. You see it on the screen when we do. Worth knowing: all piping after the water meter is the homeowner's responsibility, so it pays to know what shape yours is in.

What we do about it

Depending on what the camera shows, the fix might be clearing roots and buildup, repairing a joint or section, or replacing the line. You'll get the options and a written flat-rate price for each before we start, and we'll explain why we'd pick one over the other.
