Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Savannah, GA
Every drain in your house empties into one main line. When that line cracks, sags or fills with roots, the whole house feels it.
Request a plumberWarning signs
More than one drain slow at once, gurgling when other fixtures run, sewage in a tub or floor drain, a sewer smell outside, or a lush, wet strip of lawn.
Why older lines fail
Clay pipe joints let roots in, cast iron corrodes from inside, and sandy coastal soil can shift and let pipe sag into a belly that collects waste.
See it on camera
A camera run shows exactly what's wrong and how far from the house it is, so you're not paying to dig in the wrong spot.
Repair or replace
A single break can be dug up and fixed. Longer runs may be relined or replaced with trenchless methods, which can save a driveway, garden or old oak.
Where your part ends
The line from your house to the city main is usually yours. Ask the city of Savannah or your local water and sewer provider where the boundary is before work starts.
Backups in storms
Heavy rain can push water back up sewer lines. A backwater valve lets waste leave but stops it coming back into the house.
Cleanouts
A cleanout is a capped pipe near the house that gives access to the main line. If your home doesn't have one, adding it makes every future clearing quicker and cheaper.
