FAQs
What are the most common signs that my main sewer line needs repair or replacement?
Typical red flags include recurring drain clogs in multiple fixtures, gurgling noises coming from toilets, foul sewer odors inside or outside the home, wet or sunken spots in the yard, and sewage backing up in floor drains. If you notice any of these symptoms in your Lenoir City home, schedule an inspection quickly to prevent further damage and higher repair costs.
How does your upfront pricing work for main line services?
Before any work begins, we perform a thorough evaluation—often including a video camera inspection—to pinpoint the problem. Once we know the scope, we present a flat-rate, written quote that covers labor, materials, permits, and cleanup. That quoted price will not change, even if the job takes longer than expected. You’ll know exactly what you’ll pay before we pick up a wrench.
Do you provide camera inspections to diagnose main line problems?
Yes. A high-resolution, waterproof camera is fed through the main line to identify blockages, breaks, tree-root intrusions, and pipe deterioration. This non-invasive method lets us see the exact condition of the pipe and determine the best repair option, saving you time and money while avoiding unnecessary digging.
How fast can you respond to a main line emergency in Lenoir City?
We offer 24/7 emergency service with locally based technicians. In most cases, we can arrive at your property within 60–90 minutes of your call. Our trucks carry the specialized equipment needed for main line clearing, camera inspection, and temporary bypass pumping, allowing us to start mitigating the problem immediately.
Are trenchless repair options available for main line issues?
Absolutely. When conditions allow, we can perform trenchless pipe bursting or pipe lining, which rehabilitates or replaces the existing pipe with minimal excavation. Trenchless methods preserve landscaping, driveways, and sidewalks, can be completed in one day in many cases, and often come with warranties comparable to traditional dig-and-replace solutions.
Will my homeowner’s insurance cover the cost of main line repairs?
Coverage varies by policy and the cause of the damage. Sudden, accidental events—like a pipe collapse from a nearby construction mishap—are more likely to be covered than gradual deterioration or tree-root intrusion. We can supply detailed inspection reports and photos to help you file a claim, and we’ll work with your adjuster to streamline the process. Always consult your policy or agent to confirm specific coverage.
