Sewer Lines
We repair and replace sewer lines between the house and the septic tank or the city main. When the line has to cross a road, our crew saws the asphalt and patches it back.

A sewer camera inspection lets you see inside a line without digging it up. We feed a camera on a push cable into the pipe through a cleanout or a pulled toilet. On a septic home we can also enter at the tank. The picture comes back live on a screen as the camera travels.
Most people call after the same drain backs up again, or before buying a house with an older line. The camera answers two things: what shape the pipe is in, and where the trouble sits. We can mark that spot on the ground above the line. From there you know whether the fix is a drain cleaning visit or a dig on the sewer line.

The video names the problem. Roots show up as a mat of hair at a joint, usually where two lengths of pipe meet. A crack or a break shows as a dark line or a gap with dirt behind it. An offset joint looks like a ledge where one piece of pipe has shifted off the next.
A belly is different. That is a low spot where the pipe has sagged and water sits in it instead of running out. On camera you see standing water and the picture goes under. Bellies turn up where the ground has settled, and the heavy clay north of Nashville drains slowly.
The camera also tells you what the pipe is made of. Older lines around here are often clay tile in short sections, or cast iron gone thin with rust. Houses from the 1940s through the 1970s sometimes have Orangeburg, a fiber pipe that flattens as it ages. Newer subdivisions are usually PVC, which fails at the joints or where something crushed it.
Before you buy a house is the best time. A standard home inspection covers what is above ground, and the sewer line is not part of it. Home inspector groups note that agents commonly suggest a sewer scope on houses over about 20 years old. If the house runs on septic, add a septic inspection of the tank and field.
The other time is when the same drain keeps backing up. A cable opens the line and it runs fine for a few months, then it stops again. That pattern usually points at something structural in the pipe. A camera turns a repeat clog into a known cause at a known spot.
We also run the camera before we dig on a line. Knowing the depth and the exact spot keeps the hole small and the yard mostly intact. That matters most when the line runs under a driveway or crosses a road. Our crew does its own excavation and its own road patching, and we are licensed, insured and bonded.
We start by finding a way in. A cleanout in the yard or at the house is easiest. On a septic system the tank lids open the outlet side. If there is no cleanout, we can pull a toilet and go in there.
A line packed solid gets cabled open first, so the camera has a clear path. Then the camera goes in and we watch the screen together. The head carries a light and a locating transmitter.
A locator above ground picks up that transmitter. We mark the spot on the grass and note the depth. After that you know what is wrong and what the fix involves. Estimates are free, so call or text (629) 285-6381 to get on the schedule.

(629) 285-6381From the first call or text to the finished property, here is how it goes.
Reach us at (629) 285-6381 and describe what the system is doing. Photos help, and you can text them to the same number.
We come out, open the lids and check the tank, the pump and the field. On a drain problem we check the lines instead.
We tell you what is wrong, what the fix involves and what it costs. The estimate is free, and you decide on your own timeline.
Our own machines dig the trench, set the tank and pull the old line. We backfill, grade the ground back and clean up the site.
Before we leave we show you what changed and where the lids and cleanouts sit. You get a plain description of what to watch from here.
