FAQs
What warning signs indicate a main water or sewer line issue at my Soddy-Daisy home?
The most common red flags are unexplained spikes in your water bill, a sudden drop in water pressure, gurgling toilets or drains, standing water in the yard, foul odors coming from fixtures, and patches of unusually green grass above the line. If you notice any of these symptoms, it is best to schedule an inspection quickly to prevent further damage or a complete line failure.
How do you use the latest technology to pinpoint main line problems?
We combine high-definition sewer video cameras, acoustic leak detection, and electronic line tracing. A waterproof camera is fed through the pipe to provide a real-time view of blockages, cracks, or root intrusion. Acoustic sensors pick up the distinct sound frequencies of escaping water, while electronic tracing maps the exact path and depth of the line. Together, these tools allow us to locate the problem within inches, eliminating guesswork and unnecessary digging.
Do you offer trenchless main line repair in Soddy-Daisy, and how does it work?
Yes. Whenever conditions allow, we recommend trenchless solutions such as pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. With pipe bursting, a splitting head breaks the old pipe while simultaneously pulling in a new HDPE line. CIPP involves inserting a resin-soaked liner that is cured in place to create a seamless, joint-free pipe inside the existing one. Both methods require only one or two small access holes, preserve landscaping, and meet all local plumbing codes.
How long does a typical main line repair or replacement take?
A standard trenchless repair is often completed in a single day. Traditional open-trench replacement can take two to four days, depending on pipe length, depth, and soil conditions. Our advanced diagnostic tools allow us to plan accurately, ensure all materials and permits are ready in advance, and keep disruption to a minimum.
Will my yard, driveway, or landscaping be damaged during the repair?
Our first priority is preserving your property. With trenchless technology, digging is limited to small entry and exit pits—often less than 3×3 ft—so lawns, flower beds, and hardscapes usually remain undisturbed. If an open trench is unavoidable, we use precise excavation, protective mats, and spoil-pile containment. After the repair, we backfill with native soil, compact in layers, and, if requested, arrange professional sod or concrete restoration.
What does a main line repair cost in Soddy-Daisy, and do you provide warranties?
Costs vary by pipe material, depth, and repair method. After diagnostics, we give a fixed-price quote before any work begins. On average, trenchless repairs range from $2,500–$5,500, while full open-trench replacements may run $4,000–$8,000. We offer financing options and never charge hidden fees. All workmanship comes with a 5-year labor warranty, and trenchless liners carry manufacturer warranties of 50 years against leaks, corrosion, and root intrusion.
