FAQs
What are the most common signs that my main sewer line in Hixson needs professional attention?
Typical warning signs include frequent drain backups in multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds coming from toilets, foul odors in the yard or basement, unusually lush patches of grass over the sewer path, and water pooling near the clean-out. Because the main line carries all household wastewater, any obstruction or break quickly affects several drains at once. If you notice one or more of these issues, call a licensed plumber promptly to avoid property damage and possible health risks.
How fast can your Hixson plumbing team respond to a main line emergency?
We provide 24/7 emergency service within Hixson and neighboring communities. In most cases, a licensed plumber can be on-site within 60–90 minutes of your call. Our service trucks are stocked with sewer cameras, hydro-jetting equipment, and pipe-patch materials, so we can diagnose and stabilize most main line problems during the first visit.
What diagnostic methods do you use to locate the exact cause of a main line problem?
After a brief visual inspection, we run a high-resolution sewer camera through the clean-out to pinpoint blockages, root intrusions, cracks, or pipe collapse. The footage is displayed in real time so you can see the issue for yourself. If we suspect a low spot (belly) or need to verify pipe depth, we pair the camera with a radio locator. This non-invasive approach eliminates guesswork and prevents unnecessary digging.
Do you offer trenchless main line repair or replacement in Hixson?
Yes. Whenever site conditions allow, we recommend trenchless solutions such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining. These methods require only one or two small access points, preserve landscaping and driveways, and can usually be completed in a single day. Our plumbers will explain whether trenchless technology is appropriate for your line’s material, diameter, and level of damage.
What will it cost to fix or replace a damaged sewer main?
Costs vary based on pipe length, depth, material, and the repair method chosen. In Hixson, basic clog removal with hydro-jetting typically ranges from $250 to $600. Spot repairs for small cracks or root intrusions may run $1,000–$3,000. Full pipe bursting or CIPP lining generally falls between $70 and $125 per linear foot, while traditional open-trench replacement can cost $60–$90 per foot plus surface restoration. We provide a written, no-obligation estimate after camera inspection so you know the exact price before work begins.
Are your main line repairs guaranteed, and do you handle local permits and inspections?
Absolutely. All main sewer line repairs and replacements come with a transferable workmanship warranty—typically 5 years for spot repairs and up to 50 years for trenchless liners, depending on the product used. We also secure all necessary Hixson and Hamilton County permits, schedule required inspections, and provide a copy of the final approval for your records. Our goal is to deliver code-compliant, long-lasting repairs with zero hassle for the homeowner.
