Roots, a crack, a sag or an old line that keeps backing up? We find the problem with a camera, then repair or replace the line with our own crews and equipment, with a written price first.
Available in: Norfolk, Winchester & Wilmington
When a main line keeps backing up, clearing it again isn't the fix. The pipe is.
Sewer line repair covers the main line from your house to the city sewer or septic tank. Older cast iron and clay lines crack, separate at the joints and let roots in. Lines also sag over time, holding waste that causes clogs again and again.
We start with a camera inspection to find exactly where the problem is. Then your plumber explains whether a section repair will hold or the whole line should be replaced, and our own crews do the digging. Our Norfolk branch works on older homes with cast iron and clay lines all the time.

A single break, root intrusion or bad joint is dug up and replaced on its own. Less digging and a lower price.
When the line is cracked, sagging or root-filled along its length, a new PVC line from the house to the street or tank is the lasting fix.
We mark the route, protect what we can and backfill and grade when we're done. One Winchester crew even worked around a customer's tree to save it.

We had to trench out a sewer line in sand, and it kept caving back in. The crew stayed out there the whole time. The homeowner was upset about his lawn, so we bought grass seed, leveled the trench and planted new grass for him.Powell's Norfolk sewer crew

Cost, signs and insurance.
It depends on the length and depth of the line, whether it's a section or the whole line, and what's above it. We camera the line first, then give you a written price. Estimates on replacement are free, and financing is available on jobs of $500 or more.
Repeat backups in the lowest drains, gurgling throughout the house, a sewage smell outside, and a soggy or sunken patch in the yard. A camera inspection confirms it.
Some lines can be lined or burst from the inside, depending on their condition. Our crews excavate and replace lines with our own equipment, and we'll explain your options after the camera inspection.
Usually not for wear, roots or age, though some policies offer a service line add-on. Check with your insurer. Our photos and camera findings help if you file a claim.
