Sewer Repair Done Right

Fix the Line, Not Just the Symptom

Repeated backups, sewage odors, soggy ground over the lateral, and drains that gurgle building-wide are not drain problems — they are sewer line problems. Snaking the line buys days. The pipe itself is failing from root intrusion, grading collapse, corrosion, or the cast iron and clay materials common under older Fort Worth commercial buildings. Drain cleaning clears the blockage; sewer repair eliminates the cause.

Every sewer job starts with a video camera inspection so you see exactly what we see: the failure point, its depth, and its location on your property. From there we present every viable option — spot repair, pipe bursting, cured-in-place lining, or open excavation — with a written price for each. Where the line runs under slabs, drive lanes, or landscaping, trenchless methods typically restore the pipe without destroying the surface above it.

Full-Scope Sewer Services

Sewer Line Services We Provide

From a single cracked joint to a full lateral replacement across a multi-tenant property, we handle commercial sewer work end to end — permits, excavation, inspection, and surface restoration included.

Camera Diagnosis & Line Locating

In-pipe video with surface locating marks the exact failure point and depth, so we open only the ground that must be opened.

Spot Repairs

Excavated point repairs for isolated breaks, offset joints, and crushed sections — often completed in a single day.

Full Lateral Replacement

Complete replacement of failed clay, Orangeburg, or cast iron laterals with code-compliant PVC, sized for commercial flow.

Trenchless Pipe Bursting

A new pipe is pulled through the path of the old one, fragmenting it in place. One entry pit, one exit pit, no open trench.

Cured-in-Place Pipe Lining (CIPP)

An epoxy-saturated liner cured inside the host pipe creates a new structural pipe within the old one — no digging at all in most runs.

Hydro-Jetting & Descaling

Pre-lining cleaning and high-pressure jetting that restores full diameter in greasy or scaled lines before repair.

Root Intrusion Removal

Mechanical root cutting plus joint sealing or lining to stop regrowth where mature trees sit over the lateral.

Permits & City Coordination

We pull Fort Worth permits, schedule city inspections, and coordinate taps and right-of-way work with the utility.

Grade & Bellied Line Correction

Re-bedding and re-grading of sagging sections where standing waste causes repeat blockages.

Know the Warning Signs

Signs Your Sewer Line Is Failing

Sewer laterals rarely fail without warning. Catching these signs early usually means a spot repair instead of a full replacement — and no emergency closure.

Recurring Backups

If the same line backs up every few months despite professional clearing, the pipe — not the contents — is the problem.

Sewer Gas Odors

Persistent odors inside or around the building indicate a cracked pipe or failed joint venting below grade.

Wet Spots Over the Lateral

Unexplained soggy ground, lush grass strips, or pavement settling along the sewer path point to an exfiltrating break.

Gurgling Across Multiple Fixtures

When toilets and floor drains in different areas gurgle together, the shared main is restricted.

Pest and Insect Activity

Roaches and flies emerging from drains often trace back to a breached sewer line under the slab.

Rising Water Bills or Slow Drains Building-Wide

Gradual whole-building drainage decline signals scaling, bellying, or root mats in the main lateral.

Sewer Line FAQ

Common Questions About Sewer Line Repair

How do you decide between repair, lining, and full replacement?

The camera inspection decides it. Isolated damage in an otherwise sound pipe gets a spot repair. A structurally intact pipe with widespread cracking or root intrusion is a strong lining candidate. A collapsed, badly bellied, or undersized line needs replacement. We show you the footage and the written price for each viable option — the choice stays yours.

Can you replace a sewer line without digging up our parking lot?

In most cases, yes. Pipe bursting and cured-in-place lining are both trenchless methods that work through small access pits rather than an open trench. They typically cost less than the combined price of excavation plus pavement restoration, and the property stays open while we work. The exceptions are fully collapsed pipes or severe grade problems, which require excavation to correct.

How long does a commercial sewer repair take?

Spot repairs and most lining jobs are completed in one day. Full lateral replacements typically run one to three days depending on depth, length, and surface restoration. For occupied properties we sequence the work so restrooms and kitchens stay in service for as much of the job as possible, and we can schedule overnight or weekend work where downtime is unacceptable.

Who is responsible for the sewer line — my business or the City of Fort Worth?

As the property owner, you are responsible for the private lateral from the building to the point of connection with the city main, including the section under the parkway in most cases. The city maintains the main itself. Our camera and locating equipment establishes exactly where a failure sits, which matters: if the blockage is in the city main, we document it so you can have the city address it instead of paying for work that is not yours.

Will insurance cover commercial sewer line replacement?

Sometimes. Sudden damage — a line crushed by vehicle loading or a slab shift — is more likely to be covered than gradual deterioration like root intrusion or corrosion, which most policies exclude. We provide camera footage, a written cause-of-failure assessment, and itemized estimates that property managers regularly use for insurance claims and capital expenditure approvals.
