Our Service Process
Camera Inspection & Diagnosis
We inspect the sewer line with a camera to locate the exact damage, determine the pipe material, and assess whether repair or replacement is needed.
Repair Plan & Options
We explain the scope of work—whether a targeted spot repair or full line replacement—and discuss what to expect.
Pipe Repair or Replacement
We excavate the affected area, replace the damaged pipe section or full line, and connect to the municipal sewer system.
Testing & Site Restoration
We test the new line for proper flow, backfill the excavation, and restore the work area as cleanly as possible.
Why Sarasota & Bradenton Homeowners Trust Us
We use camera inspection to confirm exactly what needs repair—no unnecessary excavation.
When possible, we repair only the damaged section rather than replacing the entire line.
We install durable PVC and HDPE pipe that resists root intrusion and lasts for decades.
We explain the full scope and process before any digging begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my sewer line needs repair or replacement?
If a camera inspection reveals isolated cracks or root intrusion at a single point, a targeted repair may suffice. If the pipe is collapsed, severely cracked along its length, or made of deteriorating clay, full replacement is the reliable solution.
How long does a sewer line replacement take?
Most residential sewer line replacements are completed in 1 to 2 days, depending on the length of the line, depth, and site conditions. We work efficiently to restore service as quickly as possible.
Will my yard be torn up during sewer repair?
Excavation is required to access underground pipes. We minimize the disruption by digging only where necessary, and we backfill and restore the area after the repair is complete.
What types of pipe do you use for sewer replacement?
We install Schedule 40 PVC and HDPE pipe, which are highly durable, resistant to root intrusion, and have a lifespan of 50+ years when properly installed.
Why do older Sarasota homes have sewer line problems?
Many homes built before 1980 have clay or cast iron sewer pipes. Clay pipes crack and allow root intrusion at joints, while cast iron corrodes from the inside. Both materials eventually require replacement.
