Sewer Camera Inspection

Before recommending any repair, we run a waterproof camera through your sewer line to see exactly what's happening. This eliminates guesswork and prevents unnecessary digging. Camera inspection reveals root intrusion, pipe cracks, bellied sections, offset joints, and blockages. It also tells us the pipe material (cast iron, clay tile, PVC, or orangeburg) and condition, which directly affects repair options. Learn when you need a sewer camera inspection and what to expect during the process.

Tree Root Removal

Austin's mature live oaks, pecans, and elms are beautiful, but their root systems are aggressive. Roots seek out moisture and nutrients in sewer lines, entering through small cracks or joints and growing until they block the pipe entirely. We remove root intrusions using mechanical cutting and hydro-jetting, then assess whether the pipe needs repair or replacement to prevent regrowth. Our complete guide to tree roots in sewer lines covers causes, solutions, and prevention.

Sewer Line Repair

Minor cracks, joint separations, and localized damage can often be repaired without replacing the entire line. Repair methods include spot excavation and section replacement, pipe lining (cured-in-place pipe), and pipe bursting. The right method depends on the damage type, pipe material, depth, and location relative to structures and landscaping.

Sewer Line Replacement

When a sewer line has widespread deterioration, multiple breaks, or has collapsed, full replacement is the only lasting solution. This is a significant project, but modern techniques like trenchless pipe bursting can minimize excavation and restore your yard faster than traditional open-trench methods.

Warning Signs of Sewer Line Problems

Sewer problems develop gradually but become emergencies quickly. Pay attention to multiple slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, unusually green patches of grass over the sewer line path, and frequent backups despite drain cleaning. Our detailed guide on main sewer line problems and warning signs explains what each symptom means and when to call.

Sewage Backup Response

If sewage has backed up into your home, avoid direct contact with the water, ventilate the area, and call immediately. Sewage contains bacteria, viruses, and parasites that create health risks for your household. Read our sewage backup health risks and response guide for the steps to take while waiting for service.
