Signs of a sewer line problem
Any one of these could be a single-fixture issue. Two or more usually means the main line.
Sewage smell in the house or yard
Persistent odor from drains or a patch of unusually green grass — a sign the line is leaking underground.
Gurgling toilets when you run water
Air escaping through a blockage or a vent issue — often the first visible sign of a main line problem.
Water pooling in the yard
Wet spots or a soggy patch of grass, especially near the cleanout or the street, with no rain.
Sewage backup into a tub or shower
Waste water rising in the lowest fixture in the house — the classic sign of a blocked main line.
Repeated clogging after cleaning
If the same line clogs again a few months after being cleared, there's usually a structural issue — roots, a break, or a bellied pipe.
How we diagnose and repair it
Two steps: see what's actually in the line, then fix the cause.
Diagnose it
We start with a camera inspection of the line. The camera shows us what's actually in the pipe — roots, grease, scale, a break, or a sag — and where it sits. That tells us whether it can be cleared or whether it needs to be repaired or replaced. We don't guess.

The repair depends on what the camera found. A clogged line gets cleared with a cutter head. A root intrusion gets cut out, and depending on severity, may need a spot repair or a liner. A collapsed or cracked section gets excavated and replaced, or in some cases relined without digging. We quote the repair before we start.
Get an estimateWhat it costs
Sewer line work is priced by what the camera finds. A simple clear-out is a different job than a spot repair, a liner, or a full line replacement. The inspection tells us which one you're looking at.
The camera inspection has a fee, quoted upfront. The repair estimate is free once we know what needs to be done. If the line is in better shape than expected, we'll say so — a clear-out might be all you need.
Most sewer line clear-outs run $300–$600. Spot repairs, liners, and full replacements vary more — we'll quote before we start.
Sewer line questions
Straight answers to what people ask before booking a sewer service.
We run a camera down the cleanout and look at it directly. The camera shows the inside of the pipe — blockages, root intrusions, cracks, offsets, or sags. That's the only way to know what you're dealing with without digging.
It depends on how bad the intrusion is. Small to moderate root clusters can be cut out with a cutter head and the line keeps working. If the roots have cracked or shifted the pipe, or if they keep coming back, a spot repair or liner is usually the better fix.
Not always. Many repairs can be done with trenchless methods — a liner inserted through the existing pipe, or a spot repair through a small access pit. Full excavation is only needed when the pipe is collapsed or severely damaged.
Sometimes. Many policies cover sudden damage to the line but not wear-and-tear or root intrusion. Check your policy, and we can document what we find for a claim if you're filing one.
A clear-out is usually a couple of hours. Spot repairs and liners are typically a one-day job. Full replacements take longer, usually two to three days depending on length and depth.
