Lets face it, sewer lines need to be repaired sometimes. The typical way of replacing a broken sewer line means tearing up your perfectly groomed lawn, and having to dig an unsightly trench for the new line. At Downtown Plumbing we are experienced in replacing and repairing sewer lines without having to dig up half of your yard, or without having to cut pavement, sidewalks and the like. It is a cleaner less expensive option for some.

High pressure water jetting is the best possible way to clean any drain line. By using water instead of a blade it can completely flush out packed grease, dirt, rocks, sticks and other debris. The water can be adjusted for low pressure to clear damaged lines or high pressure to drill through roots that have entered the line. Once the line is cleaned we use our fiber optic video camera inspection equipment to inspect the line right in front of you so you can be in full understanding of your problem. After the issue has been identified we then can locate the exact location of the line. There is no guessing with this equipment period! Different nozzles do different water spray techniques from de-rooting a line, de-greasing, flushing rocks ,sticks and all kinds of debris. A cable cannot even come close, all it does is give you some borrowed time, so let us deal with your headache today!

Replacing a collapsed storm drain without major excavations saves money and minimizes traffic disruption. It also reduces the potential for roadway deterioration and potholes resulting from large utility patches. Using traditional methods, crews would have had to excavate the entire right lane and close it to traffic for the duration of the project. To avoid a lane closure, and traffic disruption in already congested traffic areas, most cities and municipalities elect to try pipe bursting. We are well versed in pipe bursting technologies for your construction projects and residential projects.

The side sewer is the sewer drain pipe that connects your house to the main sewer line in the street. Sewer pipes are not routinely inspected by most buyers, but based on our experience, this inspection provides cheap insurance that you won’t have an expensive repair on your hands in the future. Sewer pipes may have problems like low spots, incorrect slope, broken pipes, or offset joints that can cause slow draining or sewer backups. For homes built prior to the 1980’s, it is likely that the pipes are made of clay tile or possibly concrete. Both materials sometimes allow penetration by tree roots, which is a very common reason for sewer backups. Modern sewer pipes are made of PVC plastic, which is impervious to roots when the joints are sealed properly. Fixing a sewer line frequently involves lots of excavation, often including removal and repair of sections of your sidewalk and street.
