FAQs
What warning signs indicate a possible main sewer line problem?
Slow draining fixtures throughout the house, recurring clogs, gurgling sounds in toilets, sewage odors outside or in the basement, soggy patches in the yard, and wastewater backing up into tubs or floor drains are all red flags. If more than one fixture is affected at the same time, the issue is usually in the main line rather than an individual branch line.
What are the most common causes of main line failures in Pikeville?
In the Pikeville area we see four primary culprits: (1) tree-root intrusion, especially from the mature hardwoods common to our neighborhoods; (2) pipe deterioration in older clay or cast-iron lines; (3) ground movement and settling caused by the region’s frequent freeze–thaw cycles and historic mining activity; and (4) grease, wipes, and other debris that solidify and create a stubborn blockage. Our video inspection pinpoints the exact cause before we recommend a fix.
How does trenchless main line repair work and is it available here?
Yes. After cleaning the pipe, we insert a high-resolution camera to map damage. If the line qualifies, we use either cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining or pipe-bursting. CIPP pulls a resin-soaked liner into the old pipe, then steam or UV cures it in place, creating a seamless new pipe inside the original. Pipe-bursting pulls a bursting head and new HDPE pipe through the existing line, fracturing the old one outward. Both methods require only one or two small access points, preserve your landscaping, and are completed in one day for most homes.
How fast can your team respond to a main line emergency in Pikeville?
Our on-call crew lives locally and is available 24/7/365. In most cases we arrive at Pikeville addresses within 60–90 minutes of your call. For severe backups threatening property, we dispatch a vacuum truck and hydro-jetter immediately while the rest of the team prepares camera and repair equipment.
Will my yard, driveway, or landscaping be destroyed during the repair?
We do everything possible to protect your property. First we run a camera to locate the exact problem so we only dig—if digging is necessary—where the failure exists. More than 70 % of our main line projects qualify for trenchless solutions that require only two small pits, typically 3×3 ft, near the house and curb. If traditional excavation is unavoidable, we use plywood tracking, compact excavators, and spoil containment mats, and we handle full backfill, compaction, and restoration of sod, concrete, or asphalt.
What should I expect to pay and do you offer financing?
Simple clog removal and hydro-jetting start around $275–$450. Spot repairs with traditional excavation average $1,200–$3,000. Full trenchless relining for a typical 40- to 60-ft residential main runs $3,000–$6,500, while pipe-bursting can range from $4,500–$8,000 depending on depth and surface restoration. We provide a written, no-obligation estimate before work begins and partner with Enhancify and GreenSky to offer same-day approval financing plans with terms from 6 to 60 months.
