Repair team exposes the damaged pipe

Assessing the Damage

Our team was called out after the homeowner noticed sewage pooling near their foundation and inconsistent drainage inside. Upon investigation, we discovered a collapsed and heavily deteriorated clay sewer line leading from the house to the septic tank. Years of ground shifting and root intrusion had caused significant damage, leaving the system unsafe and unreliable.

Careful Excavation & Diagnosis

The first step was to carefully excavate the area to expose the broken section of pipe. Once the damaged sewer line was fully uncovered, our plumbers confirmed that a full replacement was needed to avoid further property damage.

Installation of a New PVC Sewer Line

After removing the failed clay pipe, we installed a new, durable PVC sewer line, ensuring secure septic tank connection and proper drainage for decades to come. The upgrade included modernized indoor piping for optimal flow and long-term reliability.

Finished Results

Once the new line passed inspection and was fully operational, we backfilled and restored the yard to its original condition. The homeowner can now rest assured knowing their plumbing system is safe, efficient, and up to code.
