Every project is performed with precision and care to ensure your system runs smoothly and meets North Carolina plumbing codes.

Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage (and How We Fix Them)

Even the most durable sewer systems can deteriorate over time. Environmental factors, material age, and everyday use all play a part. Here are some of the most common issues we see — and how we resolve them:

• Tree Root Intrusion: Roots naturally seek moisture and can penetrate small cracks in pipes, eventually causing full blockages or breakage. We remove the roots and use trenchless repair or replacement methods to seal the damaged areas.
• Corroded or Aging Pipes: Older pipes made from cast iron, clay, or Orangeburg materials can corrode and collapse. We replace these outdated lines with long-lasting PVC or HDPE alternatives.
• Ground Movement or Heavy Machinery: Shifting soil or heavy equipment can stress and crack buried sewer lines. Our team stabilizes the affected area and replaces weakened sections as needed.
• Grease and Debris Buildup: Over time, grease, hair, and waste can create clogs that restrict flow. We clear blockages using hydro jetting or snaking to restore full drainage capacity.

Once we locate the problem with our video inspection technology, we’ll provide an honest recommendation — whether it’s a quick trenchless repair, a pipe relining, or a full replacement.

Sewer Line Repair vs. Replacement — What’s Right for You? 

Sometimes a simple repair can restore full functionality. Other times, an aging or severely damaged line may need a complete replacement. 

If you’re experiencing repeated blockages, corrosion, or collapsed sections, replacement might be the most cost-effective long-term solution. Our experts will help you compare both options like outlining costs, expected lifespan, and future maintenance — so you can make a confident, informed decision. 

We’ll never push an unnecessary replacement. Our goal is always to find the most practical and affordable fix for your situation.
