Sewer line repair and replacement, explained
What a sewer camera inspection shows, how trenchless repair works, what root intrusion does to a lateral, and how the repair decision is made.
The sewer lateral is the one pipe most homeowners never think about until every fixture backs up at once. These guides cover how the line is inspected, what the common failures look like on camera, and how a spot repair, a trenchless liner and a full replacement differ.

What a sewer camera inspection shows, and why it comes before the quote

Root intrusion in sewer lines: how roots get in and what to do about it

Signs of a sewer line problem: what to watch for before it backs up
Six signs point to the sewer lateral, not one fixture: several drains slow at once, gurgling when something else drains, clogs that come back, sewer smell, a soggy or extra-green patch of yard, and sewage at the lowest drain.
