FAQs
What are the most common main line issues you see in Rutledge?
In Rutledge, our technicians frequently encounter tree-root intrusions, aging or corroded cast-iron pipes, grease buildup, and ground shifting that creates cracks or bellies in the pipe. Seasonal temperature swings can also stress older lines, causing joints to separate and leading to chronic blockages or leaks.
How do I know if my home’s main sewer line is clogged or damaged?
Warning signs include multiple fixtures backing up at once (for example, the bathtub fills when you flush the toilet), gurgling sounds from drains, sewage odors in the yard or basement, sudden soggy patches on the lawn, and slow drains throughout the house. If you notice any of these, call us promptly so we can run a camera inspection and pinpoint the cause.
What diagnostic technology do your experienced technicians use?
We use high-definition sewer cameras that record video inside the line, electronic locators to mark exact pipe depth and position, and hydrostatic pressure tests to identify hidden leaks. These tools allow us to diagnose problems quickly without unnecessary digging and to give you a documented report for insurance or resale purposes.
Do you offer trenchless repair options for main line problems?
Yes. Whenever conditions permit, we recommend trenchless methods such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. These techniques replace or rehabilitate the pipe through small access points, protecting landscaping, driveways, and mature trees—an important consideration for many Rutledge homeowners. We will explain viability, cost, and warranty details during your estimate.
How fast can you respond to a main line emergency in Rutledge?
We provide 24/7 emergency service with technicians on call exclusively for sewer backups and main line failures. In most cases we arrive anywhere in Rutledge within 60–90 minutes. Our trucks carry root-cutting heads, hydro-jetters, pipe locators, and repair materials so we can begin mitigation immediately and prevent further property damage.
What warranties and guarantees do you provide on main line repairs?
All full-line replacements and trenchless rehabilitations come with a transferable 10-year materials and workmanship warranty. Spot repairs and cleanings include a one-year no-clog guarantee. Additionally, we provide a written satisfaction guarantee: if our workmanship fails to meet local plumbing code or manufacturer standards, we will correct the issue at no extra cost.
