Sewer System Services for Your Home

Most homeowners don’t think much about their sewer system until something goes wrong. That’s understandable. Most of the piping is underground, and as long as wastewater is leaving the house, there’s usually no reason to give it much thought.

But when the sewer line becomes blocked, cracked, or damaged, the problems can show up in different places. You might notice water backing up into a basement drain, a toilet that keeps clogging, or several sinks draining more slowly than usual.

Finding the cause is the first step. Sometimes the line just needs to be cleaned. Other times, the pipe itself is damaged and needs repair or replacement.

Sewer Line Repairs

Cracked pipes, separated joints, and root damage don't always require a complete sewer line replacement. Our plumbers evaluate the damage and determine whether a targeted repair can resolve the problem.

Sewer Line Replacement

Older sewer pipes can deteriorate, collapse, or develop problems that make repairs impractical. OC Property Solutions handles sewer line replacement and the excavation needed to access damaged underground piping.

Sewer Rodding

Sewer rodding uses a mechanical cable or rod to break through stubborn blockages and restore drainage. It's commonly used to clear grease, debris, and other obstructions from clogged sewer lines.

Camera Inspections

A sewer camera inspection helps locate blockages, cracks, tree roots, and damaged pipes without digging. It gives our a clearer picture of the sewer line before recommending repairs.

Sewer Line Cleaning

Grease, debris, and tree roots can build up inside sewer pipes, causing slow drains and recurring backups. Sewer cleaning removes obstructions to restore proper wastewater flow.

Sewer Line Excavation

Some sewer issues can be resolved from inside the pipe but other repairs need to be dug up. This gives us direct access to damaged areas that need to be repaired or replaced.

Need Help With Your Sewer System?

When you contact OC Property Solutions, we’ll start by asking what you’ve noticed. Is one drain backing up or several? Has this happened before? Are you noticing odors, gurgling, or water coming up through a floor drain?

After the work is finished, we’ll review what was done and explain anything you should know about the condition of your sewer system. If there are concerns to keep an eye on or additional work worth considering, we’ll discuss those with you.

Your Questions Answered About Sewer Systems

How do I know if my main sewer line is clogged?

A main sewer line blockage often affects more than one plumbing fixture. You might notice several drains running slowly, wastewater backing up through a basement floor drain, or a toilet gurgling when another fixture is used. These symptoms don’t always mean the main line is clogged, but they’re good reasons to have the plumbing checked.

What's the difference between sewer cleaning and sewer line repair?

Sewer cleaning clears blockages inside the pipe. Sewer line repair addresses damage to the pipe itself, such as cracks, separated joints, or damaged sections. A line that’s clogged may only need cleaning. If the pipe is damaged, cleaning alone won’t correct the underlying problem.

Does a damaged sewer line always need to be replaced?

No. Some sewer line problems can be repaired without replacing the entire pipe. An inspection can help determine if a repair is practical or if replacement makes more sense.

Will my yard need to be dug up for sewer repairs?

Not necessarily. Sewer camera inspections and cleaning generally don’t require digging to access the underground line. Some repairs and replacements do require excavation, particularly when a damaged section of pipe needs to be reached or removed.

How much does it cost to repair a sewer system?

That depends on the problem. Clearing a blockage is a different type of job than replacing a damaged underground sewer pipe. The depth and location of the line, accessibility, length of damaged piping, and need for excavation can all affect the cost.

Can tree roots damage underground sewer pipes?

Yes. Tree roots are naturally drawn toward moisture and can enter sewer pipes through cracks, gaps, or loose joints. Removing the roots may clear the blockage, but if they’re entering through a damaged pipe, the underlying problem may still need to be repaired.
