FAQs

How can I tell if my main sewer line is clogged?

Warning signs include multiple drains backing up at the same time, gurgling noises when you flush toilets, water bubbling up in tubs or showers, sewage odors inside or outside the house, and waste backing up around the floor drain. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Whitwell home, call us right away—delaying can lead to extensive water damage and health hazards.

What causes main line problems in Whitwell homes?

The most common culprits are tree-root intrusion, aging or corroded cast-iron pipes, ground shifting from freeze-thaw cycles, heavy rains that over-saturate soil, grease and non-flushable items buildup, and improper pipe installation. Whitwell’s mix of older properties and clay soils makes root intrusion especially common, so routine inspections can help catch issues early.

Do you offer camera inspections for main line issues, and how do they work?

Yes. We insert a high-resolution, waterproof camera attached to a flexible cable into an accessible clean-out or drain. The live video lets our technician pinpoint blockages, cracks, bellies, or roots without disturbing your yard. The footage is recorded so we can show you the exact problem areas and recommend the most cost-effective repair, whether that’s hydro-jetting, pipe relining, or partial replacement.

How quickly can your Whitwell plumbers respond to a main line emergency?

We provide 24/7 emergency service throughout Whitwell and surrounding Marion County. Once you call, a licensed plumber is typically on site within 60-90 minutes—day or night. Our service trucks are stocked with augers, hydro-jetters, cameras, and pipe repair materials so we can diagnose and start resolving the issue during the same visit.

Will my yard have to be dug up to fix the main line?

Not always. We first explore trenchless options such as hydro-jetting to clear blockages or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining to seal cracks and restore structural integrity from within the pipe. These techniques require only small access points, preserving landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks. If the line is collapsed or severely offset, spot excavation or full replacement may be necessary, and we’ll explain the scope and obtain your approval before any digging begins.

How much does main line repair or replacement usually cost?

Prices depend on pipe length, depth, material, accessibility, and whether trenchless methods can be used. In Whitwell, typical costs run $350–$600 for basic augering or hydro-jetting, $1,500–$3,500 for trenchless CIPP lining of 20–40 feet, and $4,000–$8,000 for full excavation and pipe replacement. We provide a detailed, written estimate after the camera inspection and never start work until you’re comfortable with the price and scope.
