Durable Repairs Designed to Last
Sewer Services
The sewer line is the unseen backbone of your home’s plumbing. Problems here can quickly escalate, leading to expensive damage and hazardous conditions. As a top-rated sewer service company in Western Washington, we prioritize accuracy and transparency in our work.
Every home’s plumbing system is different, which is why we tailor our approach to your property’s layout, soil conditions, and system design. Our technicians handle every aspect of your home’s sewer care, from the drain to the city street.
Sewer Camera Inspections
Before any major repair, we start with a video sewer inspection. Our waterproof camera systems give real-time footage of your underground lines, helping us locate leaks, cracks, and blockages quickly.
Our inspections help identify:
- Root intrusion and pipe breaks
- Offset joints or collapsed sections
- Grease and debris buildup
- Standing water or improper slope
This diagnostic approach saves you from unnecessary digging and ensures accurate, cost-effective repairs the first time.
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Sewer line problems often start small until a backup reveals a major issue underground. Whether you’re dealing with cracked, collapsed, or offset pipes, Harts offers both traditional and trenchless sewer repair options to restore your system efficiently.
Our sewer repair services include:
- Sewer pipe repair and replacement
- Trenchless pipe lining and bursting
- No-dig spot repairs and relining
- Root intrusion removal
- Excavation and pipe replacement when needed
Our trenchless technology allows us to replace or rehabilitate damaged sewer lines without digging up your yard, saving time, money, and landscaping.
Prevent Backups and Restore Flow
Drain Cleaning & Unclogging Services
Clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing issues homeowners face. From kitchen sinks to main sewer lines, we provide safe, professional cleaning to remove buildup and restore flow.
Common signs your drains need service:
- Gurgling or slow-draining sinks
- Water pooling in showers or tubs
- Unpleasant odors from floor drains
- Frequent toilet backups
A blocked drain is the first warning sign of a problem that needs expert attention. Unlike basic household cleaners or plungers, our professional drain cleaning and rooter services get to the root of the blockage. We specialize in clearing the most stubborn clogs caused by grease, hair, foreign objects, and tree roots.
We solve all your common drain issues:
- Kitchen Drains: Tackling food waste and grease buildup.
- Bathroom Drains: Removing hair, soap scum, and sludge.

Don’t wait for a minor clog to turn into a major backup. If you notice gurgling sounds, standing water, or persistent odors, call the Harts team today for a fast, lasting solution.
All Sewer & Drain Services
General Sewer Repair
We repair damaged, collapsed, or aging sewer lines using proven methods tailored to your property. Whether the issue stems from root intrusion, pipe corrosion, or shifting soil, our licensed plumbers perform detailed inspections to locate the problem before beginning repairs. We offer both trenchless and traditional solutions depending on soil conditions, pipe material, and access points. With our advanced diagnostic tools, we ensure your sewer line is restored efficiently and built to last.
General Drain Services
From kitchen sinks to floor drains, we clear clogs, eliminate odors, and fix slow-draining fixtures to keep your plumbing running smoothly. Our team uses professional-grade tools and hydro jetting technology to remove buildup safely without damaging your pipes. Routine drain cleaning can also help prevent costly backups and extend the lifespan of your plumbing system. Whether it’s a stubborn bathroom sink or a main line issue, we provide the expertise needed to restore full drainage and peace of mind.
Sewer Line Repair
We repair or replace damaged sewer lines using trenchless or traditional methods, depending on your property’s needs. Our process begins with a video camera inspection to pinpoint cracks, breaks, or misalignments. When possible, we use trenchless pipe lining or bursting to minimize digging and disruption to your yard. Our technicians focus on delivering durable, long-term repairs that improve flow and prevent future failures in your sewer system.
Sewer Line Replacement
When repairs are no longer cost-effective, we provide full sewer line replacement using modern techniques that minimize mess and downtime. Trenchless replacement methods, such as pipe bursting, allow us to install a new, seamless line without tearing up landscaping or driveways. Our experts carefully evaluate the depth, length, and condition of your existing system to determine the best approach. The result is a reliable sewer system built to handle decades of use while meeting modern plumbing standards.
Clog Removal
We unclog sinks, tubs, toilets, and floor drains using professional snaking or hydro jetting to get your plumbing running smoothly again. Unlike store-bought drain cleaners, our methods safely remove the blockage without damaging your pipes or fixtures. We target the root cause of the problem — whether it’s grease buildup, hair, roots, or debris — to ensure it doesn’t return. For recurring issues, we also offer maintenance plans and camera inspections to keep your drains consistently clear.
Drain Cleaning
Clogged sink, tub, or floor drain? Our expert drain cleaning services remove buildup caused by grease, soap, hair, and debris to restore smooth water flow. We use professional snaking and hydro jetting techniques to clear even the most stubborn blockages without damaging your pipes. Regular drain cleaning also helps prevent future clogs, foul odors, and backups — keeping your plumbing system healthy and efficient year-round. If you’re dealing with recurring slow drains, we can perform a camera inspection to identify the underlying issue before it becomes a costly repair.
Hydro Jetting
For the most powerful and long-lasting cleaning results, our hydro jetting service uses high-pressure water to cut through years of buildup and restore full pipe capacity. It’s safe for most pipe materials and ideal for removing grease, roots, and hard scale that standard snaking can’t fully eliminate. Hydro jetting not only clears blockages but also scrubs pipe walls clean, preventing future clogs from forming. This service is especially effective for older homes or properties with frequent drainage problems, giving your plumbing system a fresh start.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Avoid digging up your yard! Harts offers trenchless sewer repair solutions that restore damaged pipes with minimal disruption. Using methods like cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining or pipe bursting, we can replace or reinforce your existing sewer line without extensive excavation. These no-dig technologies save time, protect landscaping, and reduce overall repair costs. Trenchless repairs are strong, durable, and often come with long-term warranties, giving you confidence that your system is built to last.
Traditional (Open Trench) Sewer Repair
Some sewer issues require a hands-on approach. With traditional open trench sewer repair, our team carefully excavates the affected area to access and replace damaged pipe sections directly. This method is best suited for severely collapsed or misaligned pipes where trenchless repair isn’t possible. We take every precaution to protect your property and complete the project quickly and safely, restoring reliable sewer function as efficiently as possible. After repairs are complete, we ensure the area is properly backfilled and your yard is left clean and secure.
Pipe Relining (CIPP)
Pipe relining — also called Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) — allows us to restore damaged or deteriorated sewer lines without digging up your property. A flexible epoxy liner is inserted into the existing pipe, then inflated and cured to form a new, seamless inner wall. This method effectively seals cracks, corrosion, and minor root intrusion while extending the life of your sewer line. It’s a fast, clean, and long-lasting solution for homeowners who want to avoid excavation and protect landscaping or hardscapes.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is a trenchless replacement method that installs a brand-new sewer line by breaking apart the old pipe from the inside. Using specialized equipment, a bursting head pulls a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe through the existing path, replacing it entirely without open trenching. This technique is ideal for severely damaged, undersized, or collapsed lines where relining isn’t an option. It provides a durable, modern pipe rated to last for decades — with minimal surface disruption and faster project completion than traditional excavation.
Pipe Boring
Pipe boring — sometimes called directional boring or horizontal drilling — creates a new underground path for pipes without disturbing the surface above. This technique is often used to install new sewer, water, or conduit lines beneath driveways, sidewalks, or landscaped areas. It’s especially valuable when existing utilities or structures make trenching impractical. The result is a precise, clean installation that maintains the integrity of your yard and property while ensuring accurate pipe alignment and long-term reliability.
Sewer Camera Inspection
Our video sewer inspections reveal exactly what’s happening underground, allowing us to diagnose issues quickly and accurately. Using high-resolution cameras, we can identify blockages, cracks, root intrusion, or pipe misalignments without any digging. The footage provides a detailed view of your sewer line’s condition, helping us recommend the most cost-effective repair options. This technology takes the guesswork out of sewer problems and ensures every solution we provide is precise and efficient.
Sump Pump Installation
Protect your basement or crawl space from water damage with professional sump pump installation from Harts. Our technicians assess your home’s drainage and groundwater conditions to recommend the ideal pump size and placement. We install dependable systems designed to activate automatically and remove water during heavy rain or flooding. With our expert setup, you can prevent moisture damage, mold growth, and costly repairs while keeping your lower level dry and protected year-round.
Sump Pump Repair
If your sump pump isn’t turning on, draining slowly, or running constantly, Harts provides expert repair and replacement services to restore proper operation. We inspect electrical components, float switches, and discharge lines to pinpoint the cause of failure. Our team can service all major brands and models, ensuring reliable protection from future flooding. Whether it’s a minor adjustment or a full system overhaul, we’ll get your sump pump working like new again.
Sewer Excavation
For severely damaged or inaccessible pipes, Harts offers professional sewer excavation and full line replacement services. This method is often required when pipes have collapsed or shifted beyond the reach of trenchless repair. Our experienced crew handles every step of the process — from excavation and replacement to site restoration — with care and precision. We use high-quality piping materials and modern installation practices to ensure your new system operates safely and efficiently for years to come.
Septic Plumbing (before the tank only)
If your home uses a septic system, Harts can repair or clear the sewer line that connects your house to the septic tank. We handle issues like clogs, backups, and root intrusion in the line leading up to the tank, ensuring wastewater flows properly out of your home. However, we don’t pump or service the septic tank itself. If you’re unsure whether the issue is before the tank or within it, our technicians can inspect the line and help you determine the next steps quickly and accurately.
Water Main Line Repair & Replacement
Your water main line is the critical link between the city meter and your home’s plumbing system. If you’re experiencing low water pressure, discolored water, or pooling in the yard, it may indicate a leak or break in the main line. Harts offers both trenchless and traditional repair methods to fix or replace damaged water lines efficiently. Our team uses durable piping materials and precise installation techniques to restore full water flow while minimizing disruption to your property.
Sewer Cleanout Installation
A sewer cleanout provides an exterior access point that makes future maintenance, cleaning, and emergency service faster and less invasive. If your home doesn’t already have one, installing a cleanout can save significant time and cost during future drain or sewer issues. Harts technicians place cleanouts strategically near the main sewer line to allow easy camera inspection or hydro jetting access. This small upgrade helps ensure long-term reliability and simplifies future repairs or diagnostics.
Root Intrusion Removal
Tree roots naturally seek moisture and can infiltrate small cracks in sewer pipes, causing blockages and line damage over time. Our team uses specialized cutting tools and hydro jetting to safely remove roots without harming your pipes. We then inspect the line with a sewer camera to confirm the repair and assess the condition of the pipe. To prevent regrowth, we can apply root control treatments or recommend trenchless relining to permanently seal entry points. The result is restored drainage and a long-term solution against recurring root problems.
Sewer Odor Diagnosis
Persistent sewer odors inside or outside your home are more than unpleasant — they’re a sign something’s wrong. Our technicians use advanced smoke testing and camera inspection tools to pinpoint the source of the smell, whether it’s a dry trap, cracked vent, or hidden leak in your main line. Once identified, we provide targeted repairs that eliminate the odor at its source rather than masking it. We also check your home’s venting and trap systems to ensure your plumbing is properly sealed and ventilated, preventing the issue from returning.
Cracked Pipe Repair
Even small cracks or offsets in your sewer or drain lines can lead to leaks, blockages, and property damage over time. Harts repairs cracked pipes using trenchless or traditional methods depending on the severity and location of the issue. Our specialists inspect the affected section with high-definition cameras to recommend the best fix — from epoxy relining to full replacement. Prompt repair prevents contamination, backups, and costly excavation later on, keeping your plumbing system running safely and efficiently.
Emergency Sewer Backup Services
A sewer backup is one of the most urgent plumbing emergencies a homeowner can face. When wastewater starts coming up through drains or toilets, our team responds quickly to stop the overflow, locate the blockage, and restore your system. We use professional-grade equipment to remove buildup, disinfect affected areas, and ensure proper flow before we leave. Afterward, we can perform a full camera inspection to prevent future backups and recommend any necessary long-term repairs. Same-day and next-day appointments are available to get your home back to normal fast.
Drain Line Replacement
If your drain lines have deteriorated, shifted, or collapsed, replacement may be the best long-term solution. Harts provides both trenchless and open trench drain line replacement options based on your home’s plumbing layout and soil conditions. We use durable, code-compliant materials designed to resist corrosion and root intrusion for decades of reliable performance. After installation, we test the system thoroughly to confirm proper drainage and peace of mind for your household.
Floor Drain Cleaning & Repair
When your basement or garage floor drain starts draining slowly or backing up, it’s often a sign of deeper blockage or trap damage. Our team clears the obstruction using safe, high-pressure cleaning methods and inspects the line to check for cracks or buildup. If necessary, we repair or replace the drain components to ensure proper flow and flood prevention. Keeping your floor drains in good working condition helps protect your home from water damage during heavy rain or plumbing emergencies.
Kitchen Drains
Kitchen drains handle everything from soap and grease to food particles, making them some of the most common sources of clogs. Our technicians use professional tools and hydro jetting equipment to safely remove buildup and restore smooth flow — without relying on harsh chemicals that can damage pipes. We’ll also inspect your plumbing for grease traps or disposal issues that may contribute to recurring blockages. With regular cleaning and maintenance, you can keep your kitchen sink draining efficiently and prevent unpleasant odors from returning.
Bathroom Drains
Bathroom drains often slow down due to hair, soap scum, and residue buildup inside the pipes. Harts plumbers clear blockages from sinks, tubs, and showers using safe, effective methods that protect your fixtures and piping. For recurring issues, we can perform a camera inspection to locate deeper obstructions or damaged sections of pipe. Routine bathroom drain cleaning helps maintain proper flow, reduce odors, and prevent future clogs before they turn into costly plumbing repairs.
Storm Drain Cleaning & Repair
Storm drains are designed to carry rainwater safely away from your property — but when they clog or collapse, water can pool around your home and cause serious foundation damage. Harts technicians use high-powered jetting and inspection tools to clear debris, leaves, and sediment from outdoor drains and catch basins. If the line is damaged, we perform targeted repairs or replacements to restore full flow. Regular storm drain maintenance is especially important in the Pacific Northwest, where heavy rainfall can quickly overwhelm unmaintained systems.
French Drain Installation
A properly installed French drain helps redirect groundwater away from your home’s foundation, crawl space, or yard. Our team designs and installs French drains tailored to your property’s soil type, slope, and drainage needs. By collecting and channeling excess water, these systems help prevent flooding, erosion, and basement moisture problems. Every installation is completed with high-quality materials and proper grading to ensure reliable, long-term performance.
Sewer Line Locating
Before any digging or construction, it’s critical to know exactly where your sewer line runs. Harts uses advanced electronic locating equipment to trace the path and depth of your sewer system with precision. This prevents accidental damage during excavation, landscaping, or remodeling projects — saving you from costly repairs later. Whether you’re planning a new addition or addressing a plumbing issue, our sewer line locating service provides the clear mapping information you need to proceed safely.
Drain Vent Repair
Your plumbing vent system helps balance air pressure in your drains and prevents sewer gases from entering your home. When vents become blocked, cracked, or disconnected, you might hear gurgling sounds, notice slow drains, or smell foul odors. Our technicians inspect your vent lines using diagnostic tools to locate the source of the issue and perform precise repairs. By restoring proper airflow, we ensure your drains function efficiently and your home stays free of unpleasant sewer smells.
Drain Maintenance
Prevent surprise plumbing problems with regular drain maintenance from Harts. Our recurring cleaning and inspection services help remove buildup before it leads to slow drains, odors, or backups. Using professional-grade tools and hydro jetting technology, we keep your pipes clear and your system performing at its best all year long. Routine maintenance is especially valuable for older homes or households with heavy water usage, helping you avoid costly emergency calls and unexpected damage.
Cast Iron Pipe Replacement
Many older homes across Western Washington still rely on cast iron piping, which naturally corrodes and deteriorates over time. Harts replaces these outdated pipes with modern, long-lasting materials like PVC or HDPE to improve flow and prevent future leaks. Our trenchless replacement options minimize damage to your property while delivering a more efficient and durable sewer system. Replacing cast iron pipes not only eliminates rust and scaling but also increases the overall reliability and lifespan of your plumbing.
Bellied or Sagging Sewer Line Repair
A bellied or sagging section of sewer pipe can trap waste and water, leading to slow drains, odors, and frequent backups. Harts technicians diagnose this issue using advanced camera inspection and determine whether grading correction or pipe replacement is needed. We offer trenchless or traditional repair methods depending on soil conditions and the extent of the damage. Correcting the slope restores smooth water flow and helps prevent further structural stress on your plumbing system.
Gutter Drains / Gutter Drainage
While we don’t install gutters themselves, Harts installs underground drain piping that carries rainwater safely away from your home’s foundation and landscaping. This prevents pooling, erosion, and foundation damage during heavy Northwest rain. We design each system to match your property’s grading and downspout locations for optimal drainage performance. A properly installed gutter drain system helps keep your yard dry, your crawl space protected, and your foundation secure year-round.
Storm Drain Installation
Proper storm drain installation is essential for managing heavy rainfall and surface runoff around your home. Harts installs, repairs, and replaces storm drain systems designed to move water safely away from driveways, yards, and foundations. Our team ensures correct grading and pipe sizing to prevent pooling and erosion, even during intense Pacific Northwest storms. With our expert installations, you can protect your property from flooding and long-term water damage.
Dry Well Installation
Dry wells disperse excess rainwater into the surrounding soil, preventing surface flooding and pooling near your foundation. Harts designs and installs dry wells as part of complete stormwater management systems tailored to your property. We evaluate soil type, slope, and drainage volume to ensure efficient water absorption and long-term reliability. Installing a dry well helps reduce pressure on your gutters and storm drains, protecting your landscape and home from water damage.
Footing Drains
Footing drains collect and redirect groundwater that builds up around your foundation, helping prevent leaks and structural deterioration. Our technicians install and maintain these subsurface systems to ensure proper water flow away from your home. This service is particularly important for basements and crawl spaces in high-water table areas. With a properly installed footing drain, you can protect your foundation and interior spaces from moisture and mold over time.
Water Evacuation (Storm Water)
When heavy rains cause water to accumulate around your home, Harts designs custom stormwater evacuation systems to manage the flow. Depending on your property, we may use a combination of piping, grading, sump pumps, and trench systems to redirect water away efficiently. Each solution is engineered to fit your terrain and prevent costly foundation or landscaping damage. Our stormwater management services keep your property safe, dry, and structurally sound all year long.
Basement Flood Solutions
Basement flooding can lead to serious damage and costly repairs, especially during Western Washington’s rainy months. Harts provides complete basement flood prevention and recovery, including sump pump installation, perimeter drains, and moisture barrier solutions. We identify the source of water intrusion and create a customized plan to protect your space long-term. With our help, you can maintain a dry, healthy basement — even in the wettest seasons.
Crawl Space Flooding Solutions
Standing water in your crawl space can lead to mold growth, foundation damage, and poor indoor air quality. Harts provides customized crawl space flooding solutions that may include sump pump installation, vapor barriers, or perimeter drains. We identify the source of water intrusion — whether from poor grading, broken pipes, or groundwater — and address it directly. Our goal is to create a dry, healthy crawl space that protects your home’s structure and efficiency year-round.
Clogged Toilets
Stubborn toilet clogs are no match for our experienced plumbers. We use professional augers and motorized tools to remove deep blockages without scratching your fixtures or damaging the drain line. Whether caused by buildup, foreign objects, or sewer line issues, we diagnose the problem quickly and restore proper flushing and flow. If you’re dealing with frequent toilet clogs, we can inspect your sewer line to determine if a deeper issue is causing repeated blockages.
Drain Snaking
Drain snaking is a reliable and effective way to clear most common household clogs. Our plumbers use professional, motorized cable machines to cut through grease, hair, and debris buildup in sinks, tubs, and floor drains. This method provides a quick, safe solution that restores full drainage without the harsh chemicals that can corrode pipes. For recurring clogs, we may recommend hydro jetting for a more thorough, long-term cleaning.
Yard Drain Installation (Landscape Drains / Catch Basins)
When heavy rain leaves puddles in your yard or near your foundation, a yard drain system can make all the difference. Harts installs landscape drains and catch basins designed to capture surface water and channel it safely away from your home. Each system is custom-designed based on your property’s grading and soil type for optimal drainage performance. By preventing standing water, erosion, and foundation damage, a properly installed yard drain keeps your outdoor spaces dry and functional year-round.
Sewer Line Descaling
Older cast iron pipes can accumulate rust and mineral buildup over time, leading to reduced flow and recurring clogs. Sewer line descaling uses specialized high-speed rotary tools to remove corrosion, scale, and debris from the interior of your pipes. This process restores the original pipe diameter without replacing the line, improving flow and extending its lifespan. Descaling is an ideal maintenance option for aging homes, offering a cleaner, smoother sewer system and fewer future blockages.
Drain Line Rerouting
Sometimes repairs, remodels, or foundation issues require moving existing drain lines to a new location. Harts provides professional drain line rerouting to correct improper grading, bypass damaged sections, or accommodate new fixtures. Our team evaluates the most efficient path for your new lines while minimizing disruption to your property. Properly rerouted drains help prevent future leaks, backups, and structural issues while ensuring your plumbing system performs efficiently.
Sewer Vent Stack Cleaning
A clogged or blocked vent stack can cause gurgling drains, slow flow, and even sewer odors inside your home. Our plumbers use safe, professional cleaning tools to clear debris, nests, or obstructions from your vent stack and restore proper air balance to your plumbing system. Maintaining clean vents prevents pressure buildup that can disrupt drainage and reduce fixture performance. Regular inspection and cleaning help keep your plumbing working quietly and efficiently.
Tree Root Prevention Treatments
After removing invasive roots from your sewer line, Harts offers preventive treatments to stop them from growing back. We apply eco-friendly, non-corrosive solutions or recommend trenchless pipe relining to seal entry points and discourage root intrusion. These treatments protect your sewer line from future blockages and extend the life of your piping system. For properties with large or mature trees, proactive root prevention can save thousands in potential repair costs over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
How Often Should I Schedule Drain Maintenance?
Most homeowners benefit from annual drain cleaning and inspection, especially in older homes or properties surrounded by large trees. Regular maintenance helps catch small clogs, root intrusion, or buildup before they turn into costly repairs. Homes with frequent kitchen or laundry use may need service twice a year to keep pipes flowing freely. Routine maintenance not only extends the life of your plumbing but also ensures you avoid surprise backups during heavy rain or high water usage periods.
What’s the Best Way to Prevent Future Sewer Problems?
Preventing sewer issues starts with proactive care and awareness. Avoid flushing wipes, grease, or foreign objects, and schedule periodic sewer camera inspections to catch hidden problems early. Installing a cleanout, using root prevention treatments, and maintaining proper drainage around your foundation all help protect your system long-term. For complete peace of mind, Harts recommends enrolling in the Home Care Plan, which includes routine inspections, discounts, and priority service to keep your plumbing in top shape year-round.
How do I know if I need sewer repair?
Warning signs include frequent clogs, gurgling drains, foul odors, or sewage backups. A camera inspection can confirm the cause.
What’s the difference between hydro jetting and snaking?
Snaking clears a path through a clog, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to completely clean the pipe walls for longer-lasting results.
Is trenchless sewer repair right for every home?
Most homes qualify for trenchless solutions, but heavily collapsed or misaligned pipes may require excavation. Our team will evaluate and recommend the best method.
How long does a sewer replacement take?
Trenchless replacements are often completed within a day, while traditional excavation may take two to three days depending on site access.
Do you offer financing for major sewer projects?
Yes. We offer flexible payment options to help make large repairs more manageable.
Can tree roots damage my sewer line?
Yes — root intrusion is a common cause of blockages and cracked pipes, especially in older clay or concrete lines.
Is hydro jetting safe for old pipes?
Yes, when performed by professionals. We adjust the pressure based on pipe condition to ensure safe and effective cleaning.
What’s included in your "$93 or Free" Drain Clearing offer?
A professional main line cleaning — and if we can’t clear it, you don’t pay. Restrictions apply; call for details.
How often should I schedule a sewer inspection?
Most homeowners benefit from annual inspections, especially if your property has mature trees or a history of clogs.
Do you service both residential and light commercial drains?
Yes — while we focus on residential work, we can assist with light commercial and multi-family properties on a case-by-case basis. Call for more information.
What is the difference between drain cleaning and rooter service?
Drain cleaning is a general term for clearing blockages in a pipe, often using a basic snake or auger for smaller clogs in sinks or showers. Rooter service uses specialized mechanical equipment with rotating blades (a rooter) to aggressively cut through and remove hard blockages, like tree roots, heavy grease, or hardened sediment, typically in the main sewer line.
How do I know if my drain is just clogged or if my main sewer line is backed up?
A single slow drain (e.g., just the bathroom sink) usually indicates a localized clog. A main sewer line backup is indicated when multiple plumbing fixtures back up or drain slowly simultaneously (e.g., flushing a toilet causes water to back up in the shower) or when you notice raw sewage odors coming from multiple drains.
Is trenchless sewer repair an option for all sewer line issues?
Trenchless sewer repair (like pipe bursting or pipe lining) is an excellent, less invasive solution for many issues, but it’s not always the best fit. If the sewer pipe is collapsed, severely misaligned, or the damage is very localized, a traditional repair might be more appropriate. We provide a full camera inspection to determine the best option for your specific situation.
