The expense and inconvenience of repairing underground sewer pipes with conventional excavation methods can be high and really hard on your property’s improvements (lawn, walkways, flowerbeds, etc.). Fortunately, Master Bore’s trenchless sewer line repair can drastically reduce the time, cost and landscape disruption by drilling out and replacing your sewer line from just one above-ground access point. If you’re experiencing any of the following symptoms of sewer line failure, contact us right away.

Lush or Soggy Areas on Your Lawn

Your lawn can help you identify sewer and water line problems. If areas of your lawn are especially lush and green compared to surrounding areas, one of your lines may be broken and leaking. If the area gets especially saturated it will turn soggy and, if caused by a broken sewer line, begin to smell bad. This also opens your yard to a whole host of problems with rodents or insects that may also find their way indoors.

Sewer Gas Smell

There should never be any odors coming from your sewer line if it’s in good health. When there are cracks or openings in the line, it’s common to begin smelling sewer gas.

Slow Drains in the House

Experiencing slow draining in multiple fixtures throughout your home or business could be a symptom of cracks or tree root intrusion in your sewer line. Our advanced imaging technology can determine the cause of your issue without tearing up your landscaping. We can then recommend the least disruptive repair solution.

Sewer Pipeline is Just Plain Old

Nothing lasts forever, and your sewer line and other underground utilities are no exception. Your systems deteriorate with age and use, especially if made of cast iron pipe. It can be difficult to determine the exact age of your piping, especially if you aren’t the original owner of the property. But if your home or building is over 50 years old, it may be worth getting a sewer line inspection to be on the safe side — especially if no repair work has ever been done.
