Drain Line Repair FAQs
What are signs of a damaged drain line?
Common signs include recurring clogs in the same drain, sewage odors inside or outside your home, slow drains throughout the house, wet or soggy spots in the yard, sinkholes near the foundation, and unusually green patches of grass over the sewer line. Any of these warrant a professional inspection.
How much does drain line repair cost in Charlotte?
Drain line repair in Charlotte ranges from $300-$800 for spot repairs to $2,000-$6,000 for section replacement. Trenchless repair methods can cost $3,000-$8,000 but save your landscaping. We provide upfront pricing after a camera inspection so you know the exact cost before work begins.
Can drain lines be repaired without digging up the yard?
Yes. Trenchless drain line repair methods like pipe lining and pipe bursting can fix damaged lines with minimal excavation — typically just one or two small access points. This preserves your landscaping, driveway, and hardscaping. We offer both traditional and trenchless options depending on the damage.
What causes drain lines to break or collapse?
Drain lines fail due to tree root intrusion, ground shifting and settling, corrosion in older clay or cast iron pipes, heavy vehicle traffic over buried lines, improper installation, and age. Charlotte homes built before 1980 are especially prone to drain line problems due to aging pipe materials.
Do you use camera inspection for drain line problems?
Yes. We perform video camera inspections before recommending any repair. A waterproof camera is inserted into the drain line to see the exact location and nature of the problem — whether it is a crack, collapse, root intrusion, or bellied section. This ensures we fix the right issue the first time.
