What our Clients think about us
Your satisfaction is our priority.
What Is Sewer Line Repair & Replacement?
Your main sewer line carries wastewater from your home or business out to the city sewer or septic system. Over time, it can become:
-
Blocked (roots, debris, heavy buildup)
-
Damaged (cracked, offset, collapsed)
-
Improperly sloped or sagging (creating “bellies” that hold water and waste)
Sewer line repair typically means fixing sections of that line—cutting out and replacing bad segments, rerouting around problem spots, or installing cleanouts.
Sewer line replacement is used when the line is too damaged, too old, or too undersized to justify patchwork fixes.
The goal: restore reliable flow, reduce backups, and protect your property from future sewage issues.
Immediate Actions (What to Do Now)
-
Stop using plumbing fixtures as much as possible. Avoid flushing toilets, running showers, or using washing machines and dishwashers until the sewer line is checked.
-
Watch for backups in lower-level fixtures like tubs, showers, floor drains, and basement or first-floor toilets, as these often show main sewer line problems.
-
Keep people and pets away from any sewage or standing wastewater to avoid contact with unsanitary conditions.
-
Avoid using chemical drain cleaners, since they rarely fix broken or root-filled sewer lines and can damage pipes and finishes.
-
Call Active Plumbing at (702) 438-3357, describe where you see backups or smells, and we will advise you on immediate steps and schedule a camera inspection and diagnosis.
Common Sewer Line Problems We Handle
-
Recurring main line clogs even after multiple drain cleanings
-
Sewage backing up in tubs, showers, floor drains, or lower-level toilets
-
Toilets gurgling or bubbling when other fixtures drain
-
Slow drains across the home, not just one sink or tub
-
Foul sewer odors inside or outside the building
-
Tree root intrusion breaking into clay or old pipes
-
“Bellies” or low spots where sewage and water collect
-
Cracked, offset, or collapsed pipes due to age, soil movement, or improper installation
-
If you keep calling for drain cleaning and the clog always comes back, it’s often a sign of underlying sewer line damage—something we can inspect and fix.

Call & Initial Evaluation
You call (702) 438-3357 and describe symptoms (backups, smells, locations). We schedule a visit and note whether you’ve had previous clogs or cleanings.
On-Site Assessment & Camera Inspection
Your plumber checks affected fixtures, access points, and runs a sewer camera (where feasible) to inspect the line, look for roots, breaks, bellies, or blockages, and pinpoint problem areas.
Diagnosis & Option Review
We review what we saw on camera, explain the condition of the line, and outline options: targeted repair, reroute, or full replacement—including expected timelines and budget ranges.
Permits, Planning & Marking
For repairs or replacement that require permits, we handle the permits and inspections, coordinate utility markings, and plan the work route (yard, side yard, or reroute path).
Sewer Line Repair or Replacement Work
We carefully excavate or access the line, repair or replace the affected sections using code-compliant materials, and install cleanouts or reroutes as planned. Once complete, we backfill and compact the area.
Final Testing, Clean-Up & Documentation
We run water through the system to confirm strong, consistent flow with no backups, clean the work area as much as conditions allow, and provide camera footage (when available), notes, and a detailed invoice for your records or insurance.
What’s Included
-
On-site evaluation of sewer symptoms and affected fixtures
-
Sewer camera inspection (where accessible) to view and record line condition
-
Diagnosis & written options for repair, reroute, or replacement
-
Permits & inspections coordination where required by local code
-
Sewer line repair or replacement work using approved materials and methods
-
Testing & documentation (flow testing, notes, and camera footage when available)
Costs & Timelines (What to Expect)
-
Smaller spot repairs can often be planned and completed in a shorter timeframe, while full sewer line replacements are larger projects that require more time for permitting and work.
-
You receive clear, upfront pricing before we begin repair or replacement.
-
Costs depend on factors such as length and depth of the line, location and access (yard, driveway, under slabs), pipe condition, and whether reroutes or cleanouts are added.
-
Every project includes a line-item estimate showing diagnostic, labor, materials, and any optional upgrades (like extra cleanouts or reroutes) clearly labeled.
Insurance & Claims Help
-
Sewer line problems may or may not be covered, but documentation matters when sewage backs up and causes damage:
-
We can provide camera findings, notes, and photos to help document what failed and where.
-
Detailed invoices and descriptions can assist your adjuster or restoration company.
-
We coordinate with mitigation/cleanup teams if they’re on-site for sewage cleanup or dry-out.
-
(Coverage depends on your specific policy and carrier; this is not financial or legal advice.)
Risks of Waiting (Why Act Now)
-
Repeat backups: Ignoring sewer line issues often leads to more frequent and severe backups.
-
Property damage: Sewage backups can damage floors, walls, finishes, and personal items, raising cleanup and repair costs.
-
Health risks: Sewage contains bacteria and contaminants that can make areas unsafe to occupy without proper cleaning.
-
Worsening pipe damage: Cracks, bellies, and root intrusion usually get worse over time, making repairs more extensive and expensive.
-
Emergency situations: Delaying needed sewer line repair or replacement can turn a planned project into a stressful, urgent emergency.
Methods, Materials & Quality Standards
-
Code-compliant materials: We use approved pipe and fittings sized and installed to local plumbing codes (e.g., PVC/ABS, proper slope, and transitions).
-
Proper slope & support: Lines are installed or repaired with the correct grade to maintain flow and minimize future buildup.
-
Cleanouts & access points: We recommend and install cleanouts where possible to make future maintenance and diagnostics easier.
-
Camera verification: When feasible, we re-camera the line after work to confirm proper alignment and flow.
-
Restoration-minded: We backfill and compact to support future surface restoration (landscape, concrete, etc.), and we’re clear about what surfaces may require separate restoration.
