Red Flags That Your Sewer Line Is Damaged
Sewer problems tend to give warning signs before they lead to a full backup. If you notice any of these, call a plumber soon.
- Multiple drains backing up
- Gurgling toilets or drains
- Sewage odors indoors or outside
- Slow drains throughout the house
- Soggy or sunken yard spots
- Unusually lush patches of grass
- Mold or dampness near foundation
One slow sink is usually a simple clog. When several fixtures act up at the same time, the problem is more likely in the main sewer line. Catching it early can mean a smaller repair and less damage to your yard and your home.
What Causes Sewer Lines to Break Down
Sewer lines take a beating over the years. Tree roots are among the most common culprits, as they are drawn to moisture in pipes and can work their way into joints and cracks. Once inside, they grow, block the flow of wastewater, and can eventually split the pipe.
Age and material play a big role, too. Older homes may have clay tile, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipe, a fiber material used in some homes built before the 1970s. These materials crack, corrode, or collapse over time. Greenwood’s clay-heavy soil swells when wet and shrinks when dry, which can cause pipes to shift out of alignment. Freeze-thaw cycles and heavy spring rains increase stress on buried lines.
Grease buildup, excessive wipe flushing, and prior poor repairs can also damage or restrict the line.
How We Diagnose Sewer Line Problems
Guessing is expensive when the pipe is buried underground, so we start with a camera inspection. We run a small waterproof camera through the sewer line to see its condition from the inside. This shows us cracks, root intrusion, offsets, sagging sections, and collapses, along with how far down the line each one sits.
We use that information to locate the problem and decide on the best fix. You see what we see, so the recommendation is based on what is actually in the pipe. If a clog is part of the problem, we can clear it first so the camera can travel the full length of the line.
Traditional and Trenchless Sewer Line Repair Options
Traditional repair means digging down to the damaged section, removing it, and installing new pipe. It is a solid choice when the line has collapsed or is too damaged for other methods. It does disturb the yard, so we plan carefully to limit the impact on your landscaping, driveway, and walkways where possible.
Trenchless repair fixes the line with far less digging. Pipe lining places a resin-coated liner inside the existing pipe, which hardens into a new pipe within the old one. Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through the old path while breaking the old one apart. Both methods can save your lawn, trees, and hardscaping. Not every line qualifies, so the camera inspection helps us decide which option fits your situation.
Emergency Sewer Line Repair
A sewage backup is a health hazard and needs immediate attention. If wastewater is coming up through floor drains, tubs, or toilets, stop using water in the house right away. Avoid running the sinks, washer, dishwasher, and shower, and keep children and pets away from the affected area.
Complete Comfort offers 24/7 emergency plumbing service, so you can call us anytime, day or night. We work to stop the backup, find the cause, and start the repair. Do not try to push through a severe backup with chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage your pipes and put you at risk. The sooner a technician takes a look, the less damage your home and belongings face.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if it is a sewer line problem or just a clog?
A clog usually affects one fixture. A sewer line problem tends to affect several drains at once.
Can tree roots be removed without replacing the pipe?
Sometimes. If the pipe is still structurally sound, roots can be cleared, but severely damaged pipe may need repair or replacement.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair?
Standard policies often exclude wear and root damage. Some insurers offer optional coverage, so check your policy.
Who is responsible for the sewer line?
In most cases, the homeowner owns the line from the house to the connection at the main. Rules vary by city, so confirm with your utility.
Should I inspect the sewer line before buying a home?
Yes, especially for an older home. A camera inspection can reveal root damage or a broken pipe that a standard home inspection may miss.
