FAQs
What are the most common signs of a main sewer line problem?
Watch for multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling noises coming from toilets, water pooling around floor drains, strong sewage odors inside or outside the home, and unusually lush or soggy patches in the yard. Any of these warnings can indicate a blockage, break, or root intrusion in the main line that needs prompt professional attention.
How quickly can your La Follette plumbing team respond to a main line emergency?
Our highly trained technicians are on call 24/7 for La Follette residents. In most cases we can arrive within 60–90 minutes of your call, fully equipped with cameras, hydro-jetters, and excavation tools. We prioritize main line failures because delays can cause costly property damage and health hazards.
What diagnostic methods do you use to locate main line blockages or breaks?
We start with a high-resolution video camera inspection that travels the full length of your sewer line, pinpointing the exact location and nature of the problem. If needed, we complement the video with electronic line tracing, smoke testing for hidden leaks, and hydrostatic pressure testing. This comprehensive approach lets us provide an accurate diagnosis and clear repair plan.
Do you offer trenchless repair or replacement options for main sewer lines?
Yes. Whenever soil conditions and pipe materials allow, we recommend trenchless technologies such as pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. These methods require only small access points, preserve landscaping and driveways, and can often be completed in a single day, saving you time, mess, and restoration costs.
How much does main line repair typically cost, and do you provide free estimates?
Pricing depends on factors like pipe depth, length, material, and the extent of damage. Simple jetting jobs start around $300, while trenchless repairs usually range from $2,500 to $6,000. Full excavations or replacements can be higher. We offer no-obligation, on-site estimates that include a video inspection, written scope of work, and transparent, upfront pricing—no hidden fees.
What preventive steps can homeowners take after a repair to avoid future main line issues?
Schedule a professional camera inspection every 1–2 years, especially if you have mature trees near the line. Avoid flushing wipes, feminine products, or excessive grease. Consider installing a root-inhibiting chemical feeder if tree roots are a recurring issue. Finally, have your line hydro-jetted periodically to remove scale and buildup before they cause blockages.
