FAQs
What are common main line plumbing issues that homeowners in Grandview face?
The main line is the primary sewer pipe that carries all wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer. Typical problems include root intrusion, accumulated grease and debris, pipe corrosion or collapse, and offsets caused by ground movement. Because this pipe lies underground, any failure can affect every drain in the house, making prompt professional attention essential.
How can I tell if my main sewer line is blocked or damaged?
Warning signs include gurgling sounds from drains or toilets, water backing up into tubs or floor drains, multiple fixtures draining slowly at the same time, and sewage odors inside or outside the home. If you notice water pooling around a basement floor drain or see wastewater coming up after you flush, call a licensed plumber immediately for a camera inspection.
What does "minimal disruption" plumbing mean for main line repairs?
Minimal disruption refers to trenchless or low-impact techniques that fix or replace the pipe without extensive digging. Using specialized equipment, plumbers create small access points, insert a camera to diagnose the problem, then employ methods such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. These approaches preserve most of your lawn, landscaping, driveway, and hardscape while restoring full pipe function.
Is trenchless main line repair suitable for every situation?
Trenchless methods solve about 90% of main line problems, but some conditions—such as a severely collapsed section, extreme bellies (sags), or a pipe made of incompatible material—may still require a traditional excavation. After a video inspection, our Grandview technicians will explain all viable options, outline costs and timelines, and recommend the least invasive approach that meets local code.
How long does a minimal disruption main line repair typically take?
Most trenchless jobs are completed in one day. A standard CIPP lining or pipe-bursting project often takes 4–8 hours, including setup, lining or replacement, curing time, and final camera verification. Larger properties or unusual site conditions can extend the process, but it remains much faster than conventional dig-and-replace methods, which can take several days.
Will my yard or driveway still be affected during the repair?
Minimal disruption repairs require only one or two small entry pits—usually near the home and at the property line. These pits are backfilled and tamped the same day. Because we don’t excavate a trench along the entire pipe, landscaping, patios, decks, and driveways remain intact. Any disturbed grass or soil is restored before we leave, and you can resume normal outdoor activities right away.
