FAQs
What are the most common signs of a main sewer line problem in my Pelham home?
Slow drains in several fixtures, gurgling sounds in toilets, sewage odors in the yard or basement, frequent back-ups, and soggy patches on the lawn are typical indicators. If you notice any of these, call a licensed plumber quickly—ignoring main line issues can lead to costly property damage.
What exactly is a spot repair on a main line, and when is it recommended?
A spot repair targets a specific damaged section of the main sewer or water line instead of replacing the entire pipe. It’s recommended when a camera inspection shows that the rest of the line is structurally sound, but a short segment has cracks, root intrusion, or corrosion causing leaks or blockages.
How do your technicians find the precise location of the problem section?
We use a combination of video camera inspection and electronic line locating. The camera reveals interior pipe conditions in real time, while the locator pinpoints the camera head’s position on the surface. This allows us to mark the exact spot, minimizing excavation and guesswork.
Will a spot repair damage my landscaping, driveway, or sidewalk?
Because we excavate only the affected section, the footprint is much smaller than a full replacement. We typically dig a single trench or small access pit. When possible, we also offer trenchless options (pipe bursting or pipe lining) to preserve hardscapes and mature landscaping.
How long does a typical spot repair take, and will I lose water service?
Most residential spot repairs in Pelham are completed in one day. Water or sewer service is turned off only during the actual repair—usually 3–6 hours. We schedule work to minimize disruption and can provide temporary facilities if an extended shut-off is required.
Is a spot repair a lasting solution, and what warranty do you provide?
Yes. We use Schedule 40 PVC or SDR-rated pipe, solvent-welded fittings, and backfill with proper bedding material to meet or exceed local code. Our spot repairs come with a 5-year parts and labor warranty, giving you confidence the fixed section will perform like new.
