Sewer Repair Process Coloma

Here's Exactly What Happens Next

First, we show up when we say we will—usually same day for emergencies. We don’t make you wait around wondering if we’re coming.

Next, we run a camera through your sewer line to see exactly what’s wrong. No guessing, no unnecessary digging. You’ll see the same footage we do, so you know exactly what needs fixing and why.

Then we give you a clear, upfront estimate. No surprises, no hidden fees. If it’s tree roots, we’ll show you exactly where they are and explain your options—from hydro jetting to clear them out, to pipe relining if the damage is more extensive.

Finally, we fix it right. Whether that means high-pressure water jetting to blast out roots and debris, or replacing damaged sections with modern materials that resist future root intrusion. When we’re done, we test everything to make sure it’s flowing perfectly.

Everything Your Sewer System Needs

Here in Coloma, your biggest enemy isn’t just any old clog—it’s tree roots. Those beautiful oaks and pines that make this area so special? Their roots are incredibly aggressive when they find moisture from your sewer line.

We handle the full spectrum of sewer problems you’ll face as a Coloma homeowner. Camera inspections to pinpoint exactly where roots have invaded. Hydro jetting that blasts away years of buildup and cuts through stubborn root masses. Trenchless pipe lining that creates a new pipe inside your old one—no digging up your landscaping.

For older homes with original clay pipes, we understand the unique challenges you’re facing. Clay pipes were great for their time, but they’re vulnerable to root intrusion and ground movement. We can repair sections or replace entire lines with modern materials that’ll last decades longer.

Emergency service when your main line backs up into your house? We’re equipped and ready. Because in a small community like Coloma, word gets around fast—and we’ve built our reputation on being the team that shows up and solves the problem.

How do I know if tree roots are causing my sewer problems?

The telltale signs are drains that run slow despite repeated snaking, toilets that gurgle when you run water elsewhere, and backups that keep returning no matter what you do. You might also notice unusually green patches in your yard where roots are feeding on leaked sewage.But the only way to know for certain is with a camera inspection. We run a waterproof camera through your sewer line and you can see exactly what’s happening inside your pipes. Tree roots look like hair or tentacles reaching into the pipe, and we can show you exactly where they’re located and how extensive the damage is.Don’t guess—get the camera inspection. It saves you money in the long run because we can target the exact problem instead of trying different solutions and hoping something works.

Can you fix my sewer line without digging up my yard?

In most cases, absolutely. We use trenchless methods whenever possible because nobody wants their landscaping destroyed for a sewer repair.For root removal, our hydro jetting equipment sends high-pressure water through your existing pipes to cut out roots and flush away debris. No digging required. For damaged pipes, we can install a new liner inside your existing pipe—again, no excavation needed.The only time we need to dig is when pipes have completely collapsed or when the trenchless approach won’t work due to severe damage. But even then, we minimize the disruption and restore your yard when we’re finished. Our camera inspection tells us upfront which approach will work best for your specific situation.

How much does sewer line repair cost in Coloma?

Honest answer: it depends on what’s actually wrong with your sewer line. A simple root cleaning might cost a few hundred dollars. A full sewer line replacement could run several thousand.That’s why we always start with a camera inspection and give you a detailed, upfront estimate before any work begins. No surprises, no “while we’re here” upsells. You’ll know exactly what needs to be done and what it’ll cost before we start.As a local, family-owned business with low overhead, we can keep our prices competitive. We also offer free estimates and a 15% discount for new customers. Most importantly, we do the job right the first time—which saves you money compared to cheaper fixes that fail and need to be redone.

How often should I have my sewer line cleaned to prevent root problems?

For most Coloma homes with mature trees nearby, we recommend annual or bi-annual maintenance cleaning. Tree roots are more aggressive in winter when they’re searching for water, so late fall or early spring cleanings work well.If you’ve had root problems before, you’re definitely going to have them again—roots always grow back toward that water source. Regular maintenance cleaning catches new root growth before it becomes a major blockage that backs up into your house.The cost of preventive cleaning is a fraction of what you’ll pay for emergency repairs and cleanup if your main line backs up. Plus, regular maintenance helps us spot developing problems before they become disasters. Think of it like changing your car’s oil—a small investment that prevents major breakdowns.

What's the difference between hydro jetting and regular drain cleaning?

Regular drain snaking just pokes a hole through the blockage—like punching a straw through a clogged pipe. It might get things flowing temporarily, but it leaves most of the buildup and root mass behind.Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water—up to 3,000 PSI—to completely scour the inside of your pipes clean. It cuts through root masses, blasts away grease buildup, and flushes everything out completely. Your pipes end up as clean as the day they were installed.For tree root problems specifically, hydro jetting is far superior because it actually cuts the roots and removes them, rather than just poking through them. The results last much longer, and your pipes flow better. It’s like the difference between pushing aside debris in your driveway versus pressure washing it completely clean.

Will my homeowner's insurance cover sewer line repairs?

Unfortunately, most standard homeowner’s insurance policies don’t cover sewer line repairs, especially when the damage is from tree roots or normal wear and tear. They typically only cover sudden, accidental damage—not gradual deterioration or root intrusion.However, some insurance companies offer sewer line coverage as an add-on policy, and there are separate sewer line insurance policies available. It’s worth checking with your insurance agent to see what options you have.The reality is that most homeowners end up paying for sewer repairs out of pocket. That’s why it’s so important to work with a local company that offers fair pricing and stands behind their work. We provide detailed estimates upfront so you can plan accordingly, and we offer financing options for larger repairs when needed.
