Most people call after the drains have slowed down for months or after the sewer backs up one too many times. By then, it helps to know exactly what is happening underground instead of guessing.
Call 919-423-7595We've looked at sewer lines around Chapel Hill where tree roots found their way into old clay pipe. We've also found broken sections of cast iron and PVC that shifted over the years.
Not every sewer problem turns into a full replacement. Sometimes one damaged section can be repaired. Other times the line has reached the point where installing a new sewer is the better long-term answer.
Sewer camera inspections help find the problem before making repair recommendations.
New sewer line installation for homes with damaged or failing underground pipes.
Roots growing into the pipe.
Old clay sewer lines that no longer line up.
Cast iron that has worn thin over the years.
Broken pipe from ground movement.
Sewer lines that have been cleaned several times but continue to back up.
Every property is different. Sometimes trenchless pipe lining is a good option. Sometimes a spot repair solves the issue. In other cases, installing a new sewer line saves the homeowner from dealing with the same backup over and over.
The condition of the pipe decides that, not a sales pitch.
Many older homes around Chapel Hill still have aging underground plumbing. As those sewer systems get older, roots, shifting soil, and years of use can create problems that are hard to ignore.
When a sewer line cannot be repaired, we can install a new one and connect it back into the existing plumbing system. We also work with sewer replacements during home renovations and property upgrades.
A sewer camera usually answers a lot of questions. Once we know what the line looks like, we can explain the repair options and let you decide what makes the most sense.
If your sewer keeps backing up, you notice bad odors, or you think the underground line may be failing, give us a call. We can inspect the sewer and explain whether a repair or a new installation is the better fit.
