Jacksonville Sewer Line Services

Common signs include slow drains in multiple fixtures, gurgling noises, sewage smells, or water backing up into tubs or toilets. In some cases, you might notice soggy patches in the yard or unexplained spikes in water bills. These are all indicators that your main sewer line may need attention.

Tree roots, shifting soil, corrosion, pipe collapse, and the buildup of grease or debris can all lead to blockages or leaks. Older clay or cast iron pipes are especially vulnerable to wear and damage over time. Regular inspections can help catch these issues early.

We feed a waterproof, high-definition camera into your sewer line through an access point. This allows us to view the interior of the pipe in real time and locate blockages, cracks, or root intrusion. It’s a fast, non-invasive way to accurately diagnose the problem.

In many cases, yes—trenchless methods like pipe bursting or lining allow us to repair or replace damaged sections with minimal excavation. These techniques are efficient, durable, and ideal for preserving landscaping. We’ll assess your system to determine if trenchless is an option.

A drain clog affects a single fixture, like a sink or tub, while a sewer line clog affects multiple drains and the entire plumbing system. If more than one drain is backing up at once, it’s likely a sewer issue. We can diagnose and clear both types quickly.

Most repairs take one to two days, while full replacements may take longer depending on the length and condition of the line. Trenchless repairs typically take less time than traditional digging methods. We’ll give a clear timeline before starting any work.

Coverage varies based on your policy and the cause of the damage. Some homeowner policies cover accidental damage but may exclude wear-and-tear or root intrusion. We can help provide documentation for claims and explain your repair options.

Regular inspections, keeping trees and roots away from sewer lines, and avoiding flushing non-degradable items can help maintain a healthy system. Avoid pouring grease or oils down drains, as these can harden and cause blockages. Preventative maintenance is often far less costly than emergency repairs.
