FAQs
What are the most common signs that my main sewer line needs attention?
Watch out for repeated drain backups, gurgling sounds in toilets, multiple slow-moving fixtures at once, sewage odors indoors or in the yard, and unusually lush or soggy patches of grass above the pipe route. Any one of these symptoms can indicate a crack, blockage, or collapse in the main line and should be inspected promptly to avoid costly damage.
How fast can Reliable Solutions Plumbing reach my home in Lake City during a main line emergency?
We maintain a 24/7 emergency dispatch team dedicated to Lake City and surrounding communities. In most cases, a licensed technician can be on-site within 60–90 minutes. Our trucks are fully stocked with cameras, augers, and repair materials so we can diagnose and start mitigation work on the first visit.
What diagnostic methods do you use to pinpoint main line problems?
After a brief visual assessment, we feed a high-resolution video camera through the clean-out to identify breaks, bellies, tree-root intrusions, or grease blockages. If needed, we follow up with hydrostatic pressure testing or smoke/dye tests to confirm the exact leak location. This non-invasive technology lets us decide whether spot repair, hydro-jetting, or full replacement is the best solution.
Do you offer trenchless main line repair, and is it right for my property?
Yes. We provide both pipe-bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) trenchless options. These methods usually require only two small access holes, preserving landscaping, driveways, and mature trees. Suitability depends on pipe diameter, material, depth, and the extent of damage. During your inspection we’ll review footage with you and explain whether trenchless or conventional excavation will give the safest, longest-lasting result.
What does main line repair or replacement typically cost in Lake City?
Prices vary with pipe length, depth, material, and repair method. Minor root removal and spot lining can start around $750–$1,200. Full replacements generally range from $3,000–$9,000, while trenchless rehab often falls in the $4,000–$7,000 span. We provide a detailed, written estimate before any work begins, and we offer financing packages to spread payments out if needed.
How can I prevent future main line issues once the repair is complete?
1) Schedule a camera inspection every 18–24 months to catch small problems early. 2) Keep large tree roots at least 10 ft. from the sewer route or install a root barrier. 3) Never flush wipes, paper towels, feminine products, or pour grease down the drain. 4) Use enzyme-based drain maintenance products monthly to break down organic buildup. 5) Know where your clean-out is located so you or a plumber can access it quickly in an emergency.
