Sewer line repair in Phoenix

Slow drains all over the house, gurgling toilets or sewage coming up in the tub usually point to the main sewer line. We find the problem with a camera and fix it for good.

Your main sewer line carries everything from every drain in the house out to the city line. When it cracks, sags or fills with roots, the problem shows up in more than one fixture, and it gets worse over time.

Many older Phoenix homes still have clay or cast iron sewer pipe. Clay joints let tree roots in, and cast iron rusts from the inside until it breaks apart. Newer PVC lines can still shift, sag or get crushed. We run a camera through the line so you can see exactly what is wrong before we quote the repair.

Signs of a sewer line problem

  • More than one drain is slow at the same time
  • Toilets gurgle when other fixtures drain
  • Water or sewage backs up into the tub or shower
  • Sewer smell inside the house or in the yard
  • Soggy or extra-green patches in the yard
  • Drain cleaning only fixes it for a few weeks

How we do it

What to expect

  1. Camera inspection

    We run a sewer camera through the line to find the exact spot and cause: roots, a break, a belly (a low spot where waste collects) or an offset joint.

  2. Clear answer and price

    We show you the video, explain the options and give you the price before any work starts.

  3. Dig and replace

    We dig down to the damaged section and replace it with new pipe, or replace the full line when it is too far gone.

  4. Test and backfill

    We run water through the new line and check it with the camera again before we close everything up.

F.A.Q.

Common questions

How do I know if it is the main sewer line or just one drain?

If only one sink or tub is slow, it's usually a clog in that drain. If several drains are slow at once, or the toilet gurgles when the washer drains, the main line is the likely problem. A camera inspection tells us for sure.

Can tree roots really break a sewer pipe?

Yes. Roots grow toward the water in the line and get in through small cracks and joints. Once inside they keep growing, catch waste and can crack or crush the pipe.

How long does a sewer line repair take?

Most spot repairs are done in a day. A full replacement can take longer depending on the length, the depth and what's on top of the line, like concrete or landscaping. We give you a timeline with the quote.
