FAQs
What are the most common warning signs that I have a main line problem?
Sewer or water main line issues usually announce themselves through multiple symptoms: frequent toilet backups or slow drains in several fixtures at once, gurgling noises when water is running, foul odors coming from drains or the yard, soggy or sunken spots in the lawn, and unexpectedly high water bills. If you notice any combination of these indicators in your Soddy-Daisy home, call us right away for a camera inspection before the damage spreads.
What typically causes main line clogs or breaks in Soddy-Daisy?
In our area, the top culprits are tree-root intrusion (oak, maple, and sweetgum roots hunt for moisture and force their way into older clay or cast-iron pipes), ground shifting from seasonal freeze-thaw cycles, aging or corroded pipe materials, grease or non-flushable wipes accumulating inside the line, and heavy vehicle traffic compacting the soil above shallow lines. Knowing the cause helps us recommend the most durable, long-term fix instead of a temporary patch.
How does Durable Solutions Plumbing diagnose a main line issue?
We start with a detailed discussion of your symptoms and review your home’s plumbing history. Then we perform a pressure test (for water lines) or run high-definition sewer cameras through the clean-out to see the pipe’s interior in real time. This non-destructive video inspection pinpoints the exact location, depth, and nature of cracks, bellies, roots, or blockages, allowing us to give you an accurate estimate and avoid unnecessary digging.
Can you repair my main line without digging up my entire yard?
Yes. Whenever conditions allow, we use trenchless technologies such as pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. Pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE line through the path of the old pipe while fracturing the damaged pipe outward. CIPP inserts a resin-soaked liner that cures into a smooth, joint-free pipe within the existing host pipe. Both methods typically require only two small access holes, preserving landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks and cutting project time in half compared to traditional excavation.
How urgent is a suspected main line leak or clog?
Very urgent. A leaking water main can cause foundation damage, mold growth, and skyrocketing utility bills, while a sewer main backup can expose your family to harmful bacteria and lead to costly interior clean-up. Acting within 24–48 hours of noticing warning signs can save you thousands of dollars in structural repairs and restoration. We offer 24/7 emergency service in Soddy-Daisy to keep small problems from turning into major disasters.
What will a main line repair or replacement cost, and do you offer financing?
Costs vary based on pipe material, depth, length, and whether we can use trenchless methods. A simple spot repair may start around $850, while a full 50- to 100-foot replacement can range from $3,000 to $8,000. After our camera inspection, we provide a written, line-item estimate so you know exactly where every dollar goes. To make the project affordable, we partner with financing providers that offer low-interest plans and same-as-cash options. We also help customers file any applicable homeowner’s insurance claims.
