FAQs
What are the most common signs of a main sewer line problem in my McDonald home?
Warning signs include multiple drains backing up at the same time, gurgling sounds coming from toilets or floor drains, water pooling around floor drains, sewage odors indoors or in the yard, and unusually lush or wet patches in the lawn. If you notice one or more of these symptoms, call Prompt Service Plumbing right away to prevent further damage.
What should I do first if I suspect my main line is clogged or broken?
Immediately stop running water or flushing toilets to avoid pushing more waste into the line. Then call Prompt Service Plumbing. Our on-call team can usually arrive anywhere in McDonald within an hour. While you wait, keep children and pets away from any standing wastewater and avoid using chemical drain cleaners; they rarely reach the clog and can damage pipes.
How quickly can Prompt Service Plumbing respond to a main line emergency in McDonald?
We offer 24/7 emergency dispatch. For customers inside McDonald borough limits we average a 60-minute arrival time, day or night. Our trucks are stocked with rooters, hydro-jetters, cameras, and repair fittings so we can diagnose and start fixing the issue on the first visit whenever possible.
What diagnostic methods do you use to find the exact main line problem?
After an initial visual check of clean-outs and fixtures, we run a high-resolution sewer camera through the main line to locate breaks, root intrusions, bellies, or heavy scale. The camera’s transmitter lets us mark the precise depth and location from the surface, saving time and excavation costs. We may also perform static pressure tests or hydrostatic isolation tests for water mains.
Do you offer trenchless repairs for main line issues, and what are the benefits?
Yes. When pipe conditions allow, we can perform trenchless lining or pipe-bursting. Trenchless methods require only one or two small access pits, so most lawns, driveways, and landscaping remain intact. Repairs are completed faster—often in one day—and the new HDPE or epoxy-lined pipe resists roots and corrosion for 50+ years.
How much does main line repair cost, and is it covered by homeowners insurance?
Costs depend on pipe depth, length, location, and repair method. Simple clogs start around $250, while extensive replacements may range from $2,500 to $8,000. Trenchless options typically fall in the mid-to-upper end of that range but save on restoration costs. Insurance policies sometimes cover sudden breaks caused by tree roots or ground movement but rarely cover routine wear. We provide written estimates and can supply video evidence to help you file a claim.
