Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair

Recurring Drain Backups Throughout Your Home

When multiple drains in your home begin backing up simultaneously, this often signals a problem in your main sewer line rather than an isolated clog. If plunging your toilet causes water to rise in your shower drain, or if using your washing machine results in water backing up elsewhere, these are clear indicators of a sewer line issue that requires professional attention.

Foul Odors from Drains or Yard

Sewer gas has a distinctive, unpleasant smell that’s impossible to ignore. If you notice persistent sewage odors coming from multiple drains or areas of your yard, this likely indicates a breach in your sewer line. These odors aren’t just unpleasant—they can pose health risks and should be addressed promptly.

Unusually Lush or Soggy Areas in Your Yard

Your sewer line might be providing unwanted “fertilization” if you notice patches of especially green or lush grass in your yard. Sewage leaking from broken pipes acts as a nutrient source for plants. Similarly, soggy areas in your yard that remain wet even during dry weather can indicate underground leakage from a damaged sewer pipe.

Slow Draining Fixtures Throughout the House

While a single slow drain might be caused by a localized clog, when multiple fixtures throughout your home drain slowly, the problem likely lies in your main sewer line. This system-wide sluggishness often precedes more serious backups and should be investigated by professionals.

Traditional vs. Sewer and Pipe Repair Methods

When facing sewer line problems, homeowners have two main repair options: traditional excavation or sewer and pipe repair methods. Understanding the differences can help you make an informed decision for your property.

Property Impact Comparison

Traditional sewer repair requires extensive excavation—essentially digging a trench along the entire length of the damaged pipe. This approach destroys landscaping, can damage driveways or patios, and may even require removing structures like decks or sheds.

In contrast, sewer and pipe vs traditional sewer repair methods require only one or two small access points, typically just 3-4 feet square. Your yard, landscaping, driveways, and hardscaping remain virtually untouched, preserving your property’s appearance and value.

Timeline Differences

Traditional excavation methods typically take 3-7 days to complete, depending on the length and depth of the pipe. This extended timeline means more disruption to your daily life and property.

Sewer and pipe repair can usually be completed in just 1-2 days. Many of our Central Ohio customers are surprised to learn that most sewer and pipe repairs can be finished in a single day, allowing you to return to normal life quickly.

Cost Considerations

While the initial sewer and pipe repair cost may be slightly higher than traditional methods, the total project cost is often significantly lower when you factor in restoration expenses. Traditional repairs require additional costs for:

  • Landscape restoration
  • Driveway or patio repairs
  • Deck or structure rebuilding
  • Potential irrigation system repairs

When these restoration costs are included, sewer and pipe methods typically save homeowners 30-40% on total project expenses.

Environmental Impact

Traditional excavation disturbs soil ecosystems, can damage tree roots, and often requires the removal of mature plants and trees. The heavy machinery used in excavation also has a larger carbon footprint.

Sewer and Pipe methods minimize environmental disruption with their small footprint and reduced equipment needs, making them the more environmentally responsible choice.

Our Sewer and Pipe Repair Services

Pipe Lining (CIPP - Cured-in-Place Pipe)

Pipe lining, also known as CIPP (Cured-in-Place Pipe) , creates a new pipe within your existing damaged pipe. This process involves:

  1. Thoroughly cleaning the existing pipe with hydro jetting
  2. Inserting a flexible liner saturated with epoxy resin
  3. Inflating the liner to press against the interior walls of the old pipe
  4. Curing the resin using ambient temperature, hot water, or UV light
  5. Creating a seamless, joint-free new pipe within the old one

The resulting pipe is incredibly durable, with a smooth interior surface that often improves flow capacity beyond the original pipe’s specifications. Our pipe lining services Ohio homeowners trust are ideal for pipes with cracks, small breaks, joint failures, or root intrusion issues.

Pipe Bursting

For more severely damaged pipes or when increased capacity is desired, pipe bursting offers an effective solution. This method:

  1. Inserts a bursting head into the existing pipe
  2. Pulls the head through, breaking the old pipe outward
  3. Simultaneously pulls a new, larger pipe into place
  4. Completely replaces the old pipe with new materials

Pipe bursting is particularly useful for pipes that have collapsed or deteriorated beyond the point where lining would be effective. It allows for replacement with the same size or larger diameter pipes, potentially improving your system’s flow capacity.

CCTV Sewer Inspection

Before recommending any repair method, we perform a thorough video inspection of your sewer line. Our high-definition CCTV drain cameras allow us to:

  • Identify the exact location and nature of the damage
  • Determine the best repair approach
  • Document the condition of your pipes
  • Verify successful completion after repairs

This diagnostic step ensures we recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for your specific situation.

Benefits of Choosing Sewer and Pipe Repair

Minimal Property Disruption

The most obvious benefit is the preservation of your landscaping, driveways, patios, and other structures. With only one or two small access points needed, your property remains largely untouched.

Cost-Effective Solution

While the initial service cost may be comparable to or slightly higher than traditional methods, the total project cost is typically much lower when you factor in the saved restoration expenses.

Faster Completion Time

Most sewer and pipe repair projects can be completed in just one day, compared to the week or more that traditional excavation might require.

Environmentally Friendly Approach

Sewer and pipe repair methods disturb less soil, protect tree roots, and use less heavy machinery, resulting in a smaller environmental footprint.

Long-Lasting Results

odern sewer and pipe materials are designed for durability, with expected lifespans of 50+ years. Many are more resistant to root intrusion, corrosion, and cracking than traditional pipe materials.

Sewer and Pipe Repair Cost Factors

Length and Diameter of Pipe

The sewer and pipe repair cost typically ranges from $80-$250 per foot, with the total length of pipe needing repair being the most significant cost factor. Larger diameter pipes also generally cost more to repair than smaller ones.

Access Point Requirements

The number and complexity of access points needed can affect your total cost. Some situations require additional access points, which may increase labor and restoration expenses.

Severity of Damage

The extent and type of damage to your existing pipe influences which sewer and pipe repair method is appropriate. Pipe bursting (complete replacement) may cost more than pipe lining for the same length of pipe.
