Sewer line service in Cache Valley
When more than one drain backs up, the problem is usually past the fixtures and in the main line. A camera inspection shows what is going on without digging first.
Signs you may need this
- Several drains back up or run slow at the same time
- Toilets gurgle when you run the washer or a sink
- A sewage smell in the basement or yard
- Wet, soggy patches in the lawn above the line
- An older home with clay, cast iron, or fiber pipe in the ground
What to expect
The usual first step is a camera inspection, which shows the condition of the line and where the problem sits. From there the options range from cleaning the line, to repairing a short section, to lining or replacing the pipe. Ask the plumber to explain which options fit your situation and to put the price in writing. Many buyers of older homes have the sewer line scoped before closing.
Common questions
Who is responsible for the sewer line?
In many places the homeowner is responsible for the line from the house to the connection with the city main, but the rules vary by city. Your city's public works office can tell you where your responsibility ends.
What causes sewer line problems?
The usual causes are tree roots, age, shifting ground, and things that should not go down a drain, such as grease and wipes.
