A broken sewer line doesn’t just disrupt your day—it threatens your property, your health, and your peace of mind. When we’re done, you get back to normal life without the worry of recurring problems or surprise costs.
You’ll have a sewer system that works reliably, whether that means repairing damaged sections or replacing the entire line. No more sewage backups in your basement, no more foul odors in your yard, and no more wondering if the problem will return next month.
Most importantly, you’ll know exactly what you’re paying upfront. Our customers regularly tell us the final bill was less than our initial estimate—not more.
We’ve been handling Richmond Grove’s toughest sewer problems with a 4.7-star Google rating earned through 93 real customer reviews. We’re the team locals call when they need someone who shows up on time and gets the job done right.
Richmond Grove’s older neighborhoods often deal with aging sewer infrastructure, tree root intrusion, and ground shifting that affects pipe integrity. We know these local challenges because we’ve been solving them for years.
When you call us, you’re getting licensed professionals who understand that sewer emergencies can’t wait for business hours. That’s why we offer 24/7 emergency service—because sewage backups don’t respect your schedule.
First, we diagnose the problem with camera inspection to see exactly what’s wrong with your sewer line. No guessing, no unnecessary work—just a clear picture of what needs fixing and why.
Next, we explain your options. Sometimes a targeted repair handles the issue. Other times, replacement makes more sense for long-term reliability. We’ll walk you through the pros and cons of each approach, including trenchless options that minimize damage to your landscaping and driveway.
Then we get to work with the right equipment and materials for your specific situation. You’ll know the timeline upfront, and we’ll keep you updated if anything changes. When we’re finished, your sewer system works properly, and you have a clear understanding of what was done and why.

Our sewer repair services cover everything from emergency clogs to complete line replacement. We handle broken pipes, root intrusion, offset joints, and deteriorated lines that are common in Richmond Grove’s established neighborhoods.
Richmond Grove’s clay and cast iron sewer lines, typical in homes built before 1980, are particularly susceptible to root damage and corrosion. We specialize in both traditional excavation and trenchless repair methods, depending on your property’s layout and the extent of damage.
You’ll get camera inspection, hydro jetting for stubborn blockages, spot repairs for isolated damage, and full line replacement when needed. We also provide preventive maintenance to help you avoid emergency situations. Every service includes upfront pricing and a clear explanation of what we found and how we fixed it.
The decision depends on the extent and location of damage, which we determine through camera inspection. If you’re dealing with isolated damage—like a single cracked section or localized root intrusion—spot repair usually makes sense and costs significantly less.
However, if multiple sections are damaged, the pipe material is deteriorating throughout, or you’re having frequent backups despite repairs, replacement becomes the better investment. We’ll show you exactly what the camera reveals and explain why we recommend one approach over the other.
Age matters too. Richmond Grove homes with original clay or cast iron sewer lines from the 1960s and 70s often benefit from replacement, even if current damage seems minor, because the entire system is likely nearing the end of its useful life.
Richmond Grove’s mature trees are beautiful, but their root systems aggressively seek water sources—including small cracks in sewer lines. Once roots penetrate, they expand and can completely block or break the pipe.
The area’s clay soil also shifts with seasonal moisture changes, putting stress on rigid pipe materials. Many homes built in the 1960s and 70s used clay tile or early PVC connections that weren’t designed for this ground movement.
Additionally, Richmond Grove’s older sewer infrastructure often includes “orangeburg” fiber pipes or deteriorated cast iron that simply wears out over time. These materials were standard decades ago but don’t hold up to modern usage and environmental conditions.
Simple repairs like clearing root blockages or fixing isolated cracks typically take 2-4 hours. More extensive spot repairs might require a full day, depending on excavation needs and pipe accessibility.
Full sewer line replacement varies significantly based on distance, depth, and obstacles. A straightforward residential replacement usually takes 1-2 days. However, if we encounter complications like utility conflicts, difficult soil conditions, or extensive landscaping that needs careful preservation, it might extend to 3-4 days.
Trenchless replacement methods often reduce time and property disruption. We’ll give you a realistic timeline upfront and keep you informed if conditions change the schedule.
Traditional excavation does require digging, but we minimize damage by carefully planning access routes and using the smallest equipment that can safely complete the job. We’ll mark utilities, preserve as much landscaping as possible, and restore disturbed areas when we’re finished.
Trenchless repair methods significantly reduce surface disruption. These techniques allow us to repair or replace sewer lines through small access points, avoiding the need to dig up your entire yard or driveway.
Before starting any work, we’ll walk your property and discuss how to minimize impact on features that matter most to you. We also coordinate with landscapers and concrete contractors for restoration work if needed, though many repairs require minimal surface work.
First, stop using water immediately—no toilets, sinks, washing machines, or dishwashers. This prevents additional sewage from backing up into your home. If sewage has already entered living spaces, avoid the area and ensure adequate ventilation.
Call us right away at our 24/7 emergency line. We’ll prioritize your call and dispatch a technician to assess the situation and provide immediate solutions. In many cases, we can at least restore basic function quickly while planning permanent repairs.
Document any property damage with photos for insurance purposes, but don’t attempt DIY repairs on sewer lines. Sewage contains harmful bacteria and gases, and improper repairs often make the underlying problem worse. Professional equipment and expertise are essential for safe, effective solutions.
Costs vary significantly based on the specific problem and repair method. Simple drain cleaning might run $150-300, while spot repairs typically range from $500-1,500 depending on depth and accessibility.
Full sewer line replacement costs depend on distance, depth, soil conditions, and whether trenchless methods are feasible. We provide detailed estimates after camera inspection reveals the exact scope of work needed.
What sets us apart is pricing transparency. We explain all costs upfront, and many customers find their final bill is actually less than our initial estimate. We don’t surprise you with hidden fees or charges you weren’t expecting. You’ll know what you’re paying and why before we start work.
