Protect Your Home’s Plumbing System With Our Main Sewer Line Repair Services
Your main sewer line is the key part of your home’s plumbing system. It carries all wastewater from your sinks, toilets, showers, and appliances away from your home to the city sewer system.
Damage to your main sewer line doesn’t just cause unpleasant plumbing backups; it can harm your home’s structure, your family’s health, and your wallet. Sewage backups can ruin floors, walls, and personal belongings. Contaminated water can create unsanitary conditions that may lead to illness. Fixing main sewer line problems quickly is not just about convenience; it’s about keeping your home and family safe from serious consequences.

Common Main Sewer Line Issues
Clogs and Blockages
Most sewer line problems happen because of blockages that stop wastewater from flowing. Tree roots are a big issue since they look for water and can sneak into small cracks in pipes, causing large blockages. Household items like paper towels, “flushable” wipes, and cooking grease lead to serious clogs that regular drain cleaners can’t fix.
Leaks and Cracks
Sewer pipes can develop leaks or cracks over time. This can happen because of ground movement, freezing temperatures, or pressure from construction or heavy vehicles. When pipes fail, sewage can leak into the surrounding soil. This leads to wet areas in the yard, can damage the foundation and contaminate groundwater. If small cracks are not repaired, they can grow, leading to complete pipe failure.
Corrosion
Older metal pipes can easily corrode, especially in areas with acidic soil. As they corrode, the pipes become thinner and develop rough surfaces inside that trap debris, which leads to blockages. Over time, corroded pipes can create tiny leaks that might go unnoticed for months while damaging the ground. In serious cases, parts of the pipe may collapse, and they will need to be replaced right away.
The Main Sewer Line Repair Process
Inspection and Diagnosis
We start our sewer line repair process with a thorough inspection. Our plumbers use a special video camera to look inside your sewer line. This lets us find out exactly what the problem is and where it is located. By seeing the issue directly, we can avoid guesswork and suggest only the repairs you really need, whether that’s clearing a blockage or fixing structural damage.
Repair or Replacement
Based on our findings, we will recommend the best solution for your situation. For blocked pipes, we use hydro jetting, which shoots high-pressure water to clean the pipes thoroughly without causing damage. If your pipes are damaged, we offer two options: pipe relining, which creates a new pipe inside your existing one, or pipe bursting, which replaces the damaged pipe and reduces excavation work. If the damage is severe, we may need to dig up and replace the pipe, but we will do this carefully to minimize disruption to your property.
Implementation of the work
Most sewer line repairs take 1-2 days, depending on the complexity of the problem. Our trenchless repair methods cause less disruption to your property than traditional digging. We work efficiently and keep you updated on our progress and any temporary service interruptions. We also protect your property and clean up thoroughly when we finish the repairs.
Signs You Need Main Sewer Line Repair
Slow Drains or Backups
If several drains in your home are draining slowly or backing up at the same time, this usually means there is a problem with the main sewer line, not with individual fixtures. You might see toilets bubbling when you use the sink or water backing up in your shower when you flush the toilet. These problems happening together suggest a blockage or damage in the main sewer line that affects your whole plumbing system.
Foul Odours
If you smell sewage inside your home or in your yard, it may mean that there is a leak or backup in your sewer line. These unpleasant odours happen when sewer gases escape through cracks or blockages. If you notice these smells, especially near basement drains or outdoor areas by your sewer line, it’s important to have your system checked right away to prevent the problem from getting worse.
Gurgling Noises
Unusual sounds from your drains, like gurgling or bubbling when water drains, mean there may be a blockage in your plumbing. These noises happen because wastewater has difficulty moving past an obstruction, causing air pockets to form and make these sounds as they shift in the pipes. If you hear gurgling from several fixtures, it could be a sign of problems in the main sewer line.
Benefits of Main Sewer Line Repair
Prevent Costly Water Damage
Fixing sewer line problems quickly helps prevent serious water damage from backups and leaks. Sewage spills can ruin floors, walls, furniture, and personal items, often costing thousands of dollars to repair. By addressing your sewer line issues as soon as you notice them, you can avoid these high repair costs.
Health and Safety
Your sewer lines are vital for maintaining a healthy home. Raw sewage has bacteria, viruses, and other germs that can harm your health if they come into your living space. When professionals repair sewer lines, they remove these dangers by safely managing waste and keeping it away from your home. This protects your family from harmful contaminants.
Long-Term Savings
Repairing your sewer line is an investment that can save you money in the long run. Fixing small problems, like cracks or blockages, is important because they can get worse over time. If you ignore these issues, you may face bigger and more costly repairs later on. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs can help your entire plumbing system last longer and reduce the chances of major failures and emergency calls.
