What Causes Sewer Line Damage?
DFW soil is notoriously expansive clay — it swells with moisture and shrinks in drought. That ground movement shifts and cracks older clay, cast-iron, and even newer PVC sewer lines over time. Tree roots find the cracks and make them worse. Grease buildup corrodes pipe joints. Some homes still have Orangeburg pipe, which deteriorates from the inside out.
Camera First
We run a camera through the entire sewer line before any repair work. This shows us the exact location and type of damage — a crack, offset joint, root invasion, or collapsed section. Without a camera, there’s no way to give you an accurate repair scope.
How We Repair Sewer Lines
For accessible sections, we excavate to the damaged area, remove the bad pipe, and replace it with code-compliant PVC. For longer sections, trenchless pipe lining may apply. We match the repair method to the damage — and we explain every option before you decide.
