Common Causes of Sewer Line Issues

A damaged or blocked sewer line can result from various factors, including:

  • Clogs & Blockages – Grease, hair, soap scum, and debris can accumulate and restrict water flow.
  • Tree Root Intrusion – Roots can grow into small cracks, expanding and causing severe blockages or pipe damage.
  • Pipe Corrosion & Deterioration – Older sewer lines made of cast iron or galvanized steel can corrode over time, weakening pipe walls.
  • Shifting Soil & Ground Settlement – Weather, construction, or natural shifts can crack or collapse pipes.
  • Extreme Temperature Changes – Freezing and thawing cycles cause pipes to expand, contract, and eventually break.

Recognizing these issues early can prevent costly repairs and extensive property damage! 

Comprehensive Sewer Line Repair Services

When sewer line problems arise, fast and effective repairs are essential to prevent further damage. At The Waterworks, we use state-of-the-art equipment to diagnose and repair sewer line issues efficiently.

Accurate Video Inspection Technology

Our high-resolution camera inspections allow us to:

  • Pinpoint blockages, cracks, and tree root intrusions
  • Detect collapsed sections to determine the best repair approach
  • Provide a clear view of your sewer system’s condition

This non-invasive diagnostic tool ensures we fix the problem at its source—without unnecessary digging.

Advanced Sewer Line Repair Methods

Depending on the issue, we use a variety of proven repair techniques:

  • Drain Augers & Snakes – Effective for breaking up minor clogs and restoring proper water flow.
  • Hydro-Jetting – Uses high-pressure water to remove grease, debris, and roots inside sewer lines.
  • Pipe Lining (Trenchless Repair) – A non-invasive solution that reinforces damaged pipes from the inside without excavation.
  • Pipe Bursting – A trenchless method that replaces severely damaged pipes with a new, durable sewer line while minimizing disruption.

By utilizing the latest repair techniques, we provide long-lasting solutions with minimal impact on your property.  

Sewer Line Replacement Services

In some cases, a full sewer line replacement is necessary if the damage is too severe for repairs. The Waterworks provides efficient, high-quality sewer line replacements using durable materials and industry-approved methods.

The Waterworks plumbing company provided a pleasant and efficient plumber to open up my outside drain from the street to the sump pump. They did this for me about five years ago. My service man was very professional and took care to do his best. Price increased significantly in five years but otherwise, I’m satisfied with the outcome. They did however, offer once again a senior discount.

Michael came to our home today to fix a slow leak under our kitchen sink. He ended up looking at a strange sound emanating from the tub faucet in our master bathroom, quoting the replacement of several sump pumps, and a drain repair. All those quotes arrived the same day. In a world that seems to have forgotten service excellence, I give Michael and Waterworks an A+ for today’s performance.

Chad does a great job. He's very thorough and explains everything well. We recently moved and Chad worked on the system at our previous residence. Thus, it was comforting to have him again at our new home. We've always had the HVAC annual maintenance contract. It's a great value and JonLe calls us to schedule. So we don't have to remember. Great to work with. Thank you!!

I called Waterworks because the plumbers who did our home inspection scope couldn't find the exterior clean outs and saw ponded water, but couldn't jet due to weather + finished basement. Waterworks has the equipment necessary to locate their scope. Michael called to let us know his ETA, and also to clarify our concerns and hear what was going on and what the likely costs were going to be. Once there, he was able to use his equipment to confirm that there was no exterior clean outs, and that there was no clog causing the ponded water, and was able to map out the location of the sagging pipe. We're waiting on quotes for what repair would look like. 5/5 stars for finding what the other plumbers could not. Sure, the other guys cost 15% less, but I still needed a second plumber visit, so it didn't save me anything.

He explained everything to us and took time for questions. He has a very pleasant personality and we look forward to having him come to our home again for this service next year. We highly recommend Waterworks!

I had an emergency backup that I needed cleared same day. I have used other companies in the past that resolve the problem at a low cost but want to come out later and sell expensive fixes. The experience with Waterworks was that they wanted to fix the drain blockage to the best of their ability at that time. If further work needed done it could still be evaluated, but there was more than a bandaid on my current issue.

Yessey is amazing awesome a tech who got our issues fixed promptly, efficiently, professional, friendly, and put under-sink boxes of cleaning products back under the sink where my old old body doesn't have to balance them myself!! Thank you WaterWorks !!! I we hadn't had these issues, the two vanities' plumbing were ready to break of as he worked them - oh, what a bigger mess we would have had!! We can hardly get to and from the floor to do many tasks any more and Yessey helped us IMMENSELY!! THANK YOU!!! Today, Ryan showed me how to change the filter on the water system we'd had out in. It was new, different style - i didnt want a water mess for doing it incorrectly. The 2nd reason for the appointment was to fix the leak on a bath sink faucet, ended up having to install a new faucet i had purchased in case that would be the fix. Ryan had to run out for a couple supplies, got back, installed the faucet and was on his way into the cold! Really appreciated his diligence. Thank you, Waterworks!!

The Waterworks company (A local Columbus Ohio company) delivered fast, professional service and provided a dependable solution when my sump pump failed and flooded my basement. The technician clearly explained all available options and costs, helping me make an informed decision on the spot. He replaced the old pump and completed the new installation that same afternoon—efficient, thorough, and stress-free. Thanks Waterworks for five (5) star service in my moment of crisis! You saved the day.
