FAQs
How can I tell if my main sewer line needs urgent repair?
Warning signs include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling toilets when you run water elsewhere, sewage odors inside or in the yard, soggy patches of grass, and water or waste coming up through floor drains. If any of these happen suddenly, it usually means the main line—not an individual fixture—is blocked, broken, or collapsed and needs immediate attention.
What should I do while waiting for a plumber to arrive for a main line emergency in Blaine?
1. Stop running water in the house to keep additional waste from entering the line. 2. Shut off the main water supply if sewage is already backing into living areas. 3. Keep children and pets away from contaminated water. 4. If safe, remove valuables from affected rooms. 5. Call your insurance company to start a claim if water damage is visible. Our Blaine emergency crew is on call 24/7 and usually arrives within 60–90 minutes.
Are emergency main line repairs covered by homeowners insurance in Blaine?
Most policies cover sudden, accidental water damage that originates inside the walls or under the slab, but they often exclude normal wear, tree-root intrusion, or neglect. Coverage can also vary by insurer. We provide written diagnostic reports, photos, and itemized invoices that you can submit to your adjuster to maximize reimbursement.
How quickly can your Blaine team respond to a main line backup?
We maintain dedicated on-call technicians in Blaine and the surrounding Anoka County area. For true emergencies, we aim to be on site within one hour of your call—day or night—including weekends and holidays. Our vans carry camera inspection gear, hydro-jetters, and pipe patching materials, so most clogs or breaks can be cleared or stabilized on the first visit.
Will you need to dig up my yard to fix the main line?
Not always. After a video inspection we determine the least invasive approach. Options include hydro-jetting, sectional pipe lining, or full trenchless pipe bursting, all of which require only small access points. Traditional open-cut excavation is reserved for lines that have collapsed or have severe offset joints where trenchless technologies won’t seal properly.
Do I need a permit from the City of Blaine for main sewer line repairs?
Yes. The City of Blaine requires permits for any work on the sanitary sewer lateral from the foundation to the property line. As a licensed plumbing contractor in Minnesota, we handle the permitting, inspections, and final approvals for you, ensuring all work meets city code and protecting you from potential fines or compliance issues.
