FAQs
How can I tell if my Deer Lodge home has a main sewer line problem?
Warning signs include multiple fixtures backing up at the same time (e.g., toilets, tubs, and floor drains), gurgling sounds when you run water, sewage odors in the basement or yard, water pooling near the foundation, and slow drains throughout the house. Because the main line is the single exit point for wastewater, a blockage or break will usually affect every drain, not just one. If you notice any of these symptoms, shut off water use and call Expert Solutions Plumbing right away for a camera inspection.
What are the most common causes of main line blockages or failures in Deer Lodge?
In our area we routinely see: 1) tree-root intrusion from mature cottonwoods, aspens, and spruces; 2) pipe collapse or misalignment caused by freeze-thaw cycles and shifting soils; 3) buildup of grease, wipes, feminine products, and other non-flushables; 4) scale and mineral deposits in older cast-iron lines; and 5) corrosion or cracking of 1950-70s clay and Orangeburg piping. A video inspection pinpoints the exact cause so we can recommend the right fix—hydro-jetting, descaling, spot repair, or full replacement.
Is trenchless repair an option for the older clay or cast-iron pipes found in many Deer Lodge homes?
Yes. After cleaning and descaling the existing line, we can insert a cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) liner or perform pipe bursting. Both methods require only two small access pits, preserve landscaping, and are approved by Powell County building officials. However, if the pipe has completely collapsed or lacks sufficient structural integrity, a traditional dig-and-replace may be the safer long-term solution. Our technician will explain the pros and cons once we review the camera footage.
How fast can Expert Solutions Plumbing respond to a main line emergency, and how long will repairs take?
We provide 24/7 emergency service within Deer Lodge city limits and surrounding rural areas. A licensed plumber is usually on site within 60–90 minutes of your call. A simple blockage cleared by hydro-jetting can be finished in about two hours. Trenchless liner installations typically take one working day, while a full dig-and-replace may require two to three days, including permitting and inspections. We always give you a written timeline before work begins.
Will the repair require digging up my yard, driveway, or sidewalk?
Not always. Our first step is a no-dig camera inspection followed by mechanical or hydro-jet cleaning. If the line is structurally sound, trenchless relining or bursting lets us rehabilitate up to 150 feet of pipe with minimal excavation. When excavation is unavoidable—such as for a collapsed section under a concrete slab—we use compact excavation equipment, lay down protective mats, and replace sod, asphalt, or concrete to match existing surfaces. We also handle traffic control and city inspections, so you have a single point of contact.
How much does main line repair or replacement cost in Deer Lodge, and do you offer financing?
Pricing depends on pipe material, depth, length, and access. Typical ranges: $225–$450 for a jetting and camera service, $2,800–$5,500 for trenchless lining of 30–60 feet, and $4,500–$12,000 for traditional excavation and replacement. All quotes include permits, materials, labor, backfill, and final inspection. We partner with GreenSky and Synchrony to provide same-day financing with 0% promotional APR options, and we accept major credit cards. Seniors and military families receive a 5% discount.
