Atlanta Sewer Repair

When sewer line clogs or stoppages become frequent and costly, it is time to take sewer line repair action and stop paying for monthly calls to clear the line. Repairing the damaged section of piping, or possibly replacing the entire line are your best options at this point, as most plumbing companies (including us) can NOT warranty frequent drain cleaning. We can, however, warranty complete sewer line replacements or repairs.

"Spot" repairs, as they are called, consists of digging up the section of damaged sewer line (located precisely beforehand with specialized equipment; this ensures no unnecessary damage to your yard), cutting out the bad section, and replacing it with a new section. We will also inspect the sewer line while performing this process o ensure that no further issues exists down line. After the repair has been tested, we will cover the hole or trench and grade it smooth.

Entire sewer line replacement is the recommended choice to ensure that no problems will occur again. During this process, we dig and extract the entire sewer line from the ground, removing any roots around the pipe and clearing a path for the new sewer piping. We install the new sewer line in PVC, beginning at your home and running it all the way to the curb or city/county tap. During the process, we will install a backwater valve if necessary, as well as cleanouts (access points) every 50 feet as required by code. We will then "bed" the new sewer line in correctly. "Bedding in" is the term given to seating the line properly in the trench, using hard earth, gravel or sand to form a solid base on which the new piping will rest. Many companies skip this step, and as a result are often called back several years later to repair bellies in the sewer line. Once this is complete, we will test the line adequately before covering it up and grading the ground smooth to allow for proper grass growth and landscaping repair. We do not perform landscaping work, but will make it easy for whoever does. Our sewer line replacements include a 5-year warranty on function and service.
