Sewer line repair
When jetting isn't enough, the camera shows exactly where the line has failed. We repair that spot, not the whole property.
What we repair
- Cracked, broken and collapsed pipe sections
- Offset and separated joints
- Root intrusion that keeps coming back after jetting
- Sags (bellies) that hold water and grease
- Damaged cleanouts and missing caps
How we do it
- Locate it. Every repair starts with a camera inspection and the spot marked at grade.
- Pick the least disruptive fix. A spot repair at the marked location, or a lining from the inside when the line can be accessed without digging.
- Restore the surface. Asphalt patched by our sister company, 123 Pothole Repair, so the lot isn't left with a soft spot.
Repairs that open up or replace a sewer line are done by licensed plumbing and sewer contractors, with permits pulled from your town where required.
Frequently asked questions
Who is responsible for the sewer line, the property or the town?
In most Illinois towns, the property owner is responsible for the private sewer lateral from the building out to the public main, sometimes including the connection itself. Rules vary by municipality and sanitary district, so check yours. A camera inspection shows exactly where a problem sits, which settles most of those questions.
Do you have to dig up the parking lot?
Not always. Depending on the damage, a section can often be lined from the inside through an existing cleanout. When digging is needed, we open only the spot the camera located, and our sister company patches the asphalt afterward.
How do I know if the line needs repair or just cleaning?
A camera inspection. Grease and roots can be jetted out, but cracks, offset joints, sags and collapses need repair. We show you the video either way.
