How We Pinpoint Sewer Line Problems
Guessing is expensive. We send a camera through the line to see cracks, roots, low spots, and debris in real time. At the same time, an electronic locator maps the path and marks the depth on the surface so any repair stays tight and focused.
You see the video, we explain the findings in plain language, and together we choose the right fix. That might be a small section repair, a longer replacement where the pipe has settled, or a new line with proper slope and cleanouts. Every option is clear. Every step is to code. No surprises.
What You Get From Our Inspection
You receive a full video of the line with time stamps. We mark the surface to show the route and depth. You get a simple report that explains what is wrong and where it is. We then present repair options that match the actual condition of your pipe.
Signs You Need a Sewer Line Inspection in Austin, TX
When Fixtures Team Up
If a toilet flush makes water rise in a tub, or a floor drain burps when the washer empties, the main line is struggling. That kind of cross talk points to a blockage or damage beyond a single drain and calls for a camera check.
The Yard Tells A Story
A sour sewer smell outside, a bright green strip of grass, or soft ground along the route to the street often means the pipe is leaking. Locating the line and marking depth lets us reach the exact spot without guesswork.
Talkative Plumbing
Toilets that bubble after a nearby sink drains or pipes that rumble when a shower ends signal trapped air and standing water in the line. Roots, a cracked joint, or a low spot can be the cause. A video pass will show which one.
Fixes That Do Not Stick
If clogs keep returning after plunging or snaking, the real issue is still in the pipe. A camera inspection and precise locating reveal the section that is failing so we can repair it for good.
Repairs Built Around What The Camera Finds
Once we see the inside of the pipe, the repair plan becomes simple. A small failure in one spot can be corrected with a focused section replacement. Long runs with heavy root growth or sagging benefit from a larger upgrade that restores proper slope and smooth flow. When the line has reached the end of its life, a full replacement gives you a clean start with modern materials and properly placed cleanouts for easier service later.

Stop Repeat Backups With Sewer Line Inspection And Repair
Quick fixes may move water today, but the trouble returns when the main sewer line has roots, cracks, offsets, or a low spot. If more than one fixture slows, or a toilet sends water into a tub, the issue is in the line that serves the whole house. Those symptoms will keep coming back until the real cause is found and corrected.
Our approach starts with a camera survey of the pipe and electronic locating to trace the route and mark depth so any digging stays focused. You receive clear findings and choices that last, from a focused spot repair to a larger section replacement or a full new line with cleanouts. Work is done to code, the area is restored, and flow returns the way it should.
