How We Diagnose Sewer Line Issues
Our licensed plumbers start with a camera inspection — sending a small camera into your main line to see exactly what’s going on. This helps us pinpoint tree roots, cracks, blockages, or a collapsed pipe — without guesswork or unnecessary digging. You’ll see the footage yourself, so you know exactly what needs fixing and why.
Sewer Line Repair: When a Simple Fix Works
Not every sewer line needs replacing. Many problems can be solved with a targeted repair. We handle:
Root Removal: Tree roots love to invade sewer pipes through tiny cracks or joints. We use specialized cutting tools and hydro-mechanical equipment to clear roots without damaging the pipe walls.
Sealing Cracks and Leaks: Small cracks and minor leaks can often be sealed internally using modern lining materials or patching compounds, stopping leaks and preventing soil erosion around the line.
Clearing Heavy Buildup: Years of grease, scale, or debris can slow your sewer line to a trickle. We use hydrojetting or mechanical augers to break up and flush away stubborn deposits, restoring full flow without harsh chemicals.
Spot Patching Damaged Areas: If just a short section of pipe is failing, we can replace only that portion — saving you money and avoiding unnecessary excavation.
When possible, we use trenchless techniques that fix the problem without tearing up your yard or driveway.
Sewer Line Replacement: When It’s Time for a New Line
If your pipe is too damaged, too old, or collapses completely, replacement is the best long-term solution. We’ll walk you through your options, including trenchless replacement to limit disruption. We use modern, durable materials built to handle Minnesota’s harsh freeze-thaw cycles and heavy tree root growth.
