Your home’s sewer system consists of different types of “lines” that run through your home in a network of pipes. These lines serve the important function of transporting sewage away from your home and preventing sewage odors from infiltrating your home. Before purchasing a home, you should have a professional perform a video inspection of your pipes to ensure there are no major issues but you should also have an inspection performed if you suspect there’s a problem with the sewer lines in your existing home.

What is Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
Many homeowners get concerned when they hear that they are in need of sewer line repair because they may already be worried about having to excavate their beautiful yards in order to reach the problem in their plumbing. Luckily, modern technology has made it possible for professional plumbers to perform minimally invasive trenchless sewer line replacement and repair with minimal disruption to your routine and your property.
Trenchless sewer line repair requires minimal digging. A fiberglass tube coated in resin or epoxy will be inserted into a damaged pipe and blown up like a balloon. Once the materials harden, it forms a pipe within a pipe. Trenchless sewer line repair is a great option for homeowners who have built additions over the problem area or don’t want to dig up landscaping.
Main Sewer Line Clog Repair and Replacement
If you’re a homeowner, you may be wondering if you need sewer pipe repair or sewer pipe replacement. It may be difficult for homeowners to tell because sewer lines are buried underground and within your walls. Here are some warning signs you should look out for:
- Water is backing out of your drains or toilets.
- Tree roots have grown into your pipes, crushing your them or causing cracks.
- Multiple fixtures in your home are clogged.
- Other appliances or fixtures flood while you use other ones.

Refrain from flushing items like cotton swabs, tampons, maxi pads, paper towels and other dense, heavy materials down your drain. Harsh chemicals like paint and other cleaners should not be flushed down toilets or drains.
