Our Sewer Line Repair Services
Elite Rooter repairs and replaces all types of sewer lines. Here’s what you need to know about our range of professional sewer repair services.
Sewer line inspection & diagnosis
We use high-definition cameras to perform detailed sewer video inspections that help us pinpoint the problem for an accurate diagnosis. We also identify cracks, blockages, and leaks before making repairs. Our experienced plumbers carefully assess the condition of your sewer pipes to determine whether you require repair or replacement. More about camera inspection
Trenchless sewer repair (non-invasive solutions)
Elite Rooter provides non-invasive trenchless repair solutions , including pipe lining or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) repairs for minimal disruption. We also use pipe bursting technology, which allows a full pipe replacement without the need for digging. Trenchless repair is cleaner and faster than traditional excavation because we don’t need to dig up your yard or foundation to perform the repairs. More about trenchless pipe repair
Traditional sewer line repair & replacement
In cases of severely damaged pipes, full excavation may be necessary. This traditional method for sewer line repair and replacement involves digging a trench to access and replace old or damaged sewer lines. If traditional methods are needed, Elite Rooter provides long-lasting results with high-quality materials for peace of mind.
Tree root removal & prevention
If you’re facing a tree root intrusion, our tree root removal service may use root cutting or hydro-jetting to clear stubborn blockages. We also provide preventative options that help protect pipes from future root intrusion.
Emergency sewer line repairs
A serious sewer emergency can’t wait, and that’s why we provide emergency sewer repair service during posted business hours for backups and major leaks. If sewage is backing up into your home, turn off the electricity, evacuate your house, and contact us immediately. While waiting for our licensed plumbers , turn off the water supply to your home and stop using all plumbing (toilets, sinks, appliances) until the issue is resolved. More about emergency plumbing

Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair
If you suspect that you need professional main sewer line repair services, it’s important to know how to recognise the signs. If you notice any of these issues, contact Elite Rooter for sewer repair near you:
- Frequent sewer backups
- Gurgling noises coming from pipes
- Sewage odors coming from drains or outside
- Soggy patches of dirt or grass, or sinkholes forming in the yard
- A sudden infestation of rats or insects, which may occur because these pests are attracted to leaks
What happens if you ignore sewer line issues?
Here’s what may happen if you choose not to get local sewer repair:
- Major sewage backups that could cause significant damage to your home
- Serious sewer leaks that may cause extensive structural and foundation damage to your home and require sewer line repair options
- Potential health hazards from exposure to raw sewage and bacteria
- Higher repair costs as the issue worsens over time
Sewer Line Repair vs. Replacement
The extent and location of the damage determine if a sewer line can be repaired or needs replacement. These factors help guide that decision.
When to choose sewer line repair:
If you only have minor cracks or leaks, these issues can usually be fixed using trenchless solutions that don’t require excavation or digging. Clogs, blockages, and buildup can typically be cleared with a process called hydro-jetting . When the majority of your sewer line is in good condition and only a small section is damaged, repairs are typically the better option. More about hydro jetting
When to choose sewer line replacement:
Older, deteriorating pipes made from outdated materials should be replaced to prevent future issues. Widespread damage, large cracks, and collapsed sections of pipe indicate the need for a sewer line replacement. If you experience recurring problems, such as frequent clogs or backups, a sewer line replacement could be a more cost-effective long-term solution.
Prevent Future Sewer Repairs
Fortunately, there are steps you can take to prevent the need for future sewer repairs. Follow these tips to protect your sewer and save money on costly repairs.
Schedule regular sewer maintenance & inspections
Schedule routine sewer maintenance and inspections ideally once a year to prevent issues and identify minor problems early. Be aware of slow drains, soggy patches in your yard, or foul odors, and schedule repairs as soon as you notice any red flags.
Keep records of all sewer maintenance, inspections, and past repairs to determine when to schedule service again and when you may have required repairs in the past.
Practice smart habits
Follow these tips to prevent sewer issues:
- Never put grease, large food particles, paper towels, coffee grinds, wet wipes, hygiene products, or other non-biodegradable items down drains and toilets.
- Use mesh strainers in sinks, tubs, and showers to catch hair, scraps of food, and other debris that could clog your drains and sewer line.
- Instead of pouring grease and cooking oil down the drain, let it cool and then dispose of it safely in the trash.
- Run hot water down your drains regularly to keep them clear, and use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to clean drains and pipes without harsh chemicals.
Protecting your sewer line from tree roots
Make sure trees and shrubs are planted at a safe distance from your sewer lines. Use chemical root inhibitors to prevent invasive tree roots from growing further and to stop new roots from forming underground.
Why Sewer Line Issues are Critical for House Owner
If you’re experiencing slow drains, frequent clogs, or unpleasant odors, it could be a sign of a major sewer line issue. Ignoring these problems can lead to costly repairs and damage to your property. Here are some common warning signs that something might be wrong:
- Slow Drains: If your sinks, tubs, or toilets are draining slower than usual, it could indicate a blockage in the sewer line.
- Unpleasant Odors: A strong, foul smell coming from your drains or yard may signal a broken sewer pipe.
- Unusual Wet Spots: Puddles or soggy patches in your yard, especially near the sewer line, often mean a leak or break in the pipe.
- Gurgling Noises: If you hear gurgling sounds when flushing the toilet or running water, there may be an issue with your sewer line.

Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage
Your sewer line is vulnerable to damage from nature, household-related causes, municipal causes, and external factors. These are some of the most common causes of residential sewer line damage.
Natural causes
Tree root intrusion is one of the most common causes of sewer line damage. Tree roots can grow and break into your sewer pipes. Shifting soil and ground movement may also lead to sewer line cracks over time. In certain cases, extreme weather conditions may also cause sewer pipes to collapse. More about tree root removal
Household-related causes
Flushing non-biodegradable items , such as paper towels, wipes, and personal hygiene products, can cause major sewer line blockages. Grease and food waste buildup in your kitchen drains may also cause a major clog. Aging sewer pipes made from clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg material in older homes are also more vulnerable to damage.
Municipal & external factors
Heavy rains may overload the main sewer system connected to your home, resulting in damage. Municipal activities, such as nearby construction or roadwork, can also potentially cause sewer pipe damage. Chips and blockages in your city sewer main may also affect the sewer lines connected to your home.
