Sewer line trouble?

The main line is the run between the house and the tank. When it fails, no amount of pumping fixes it: the tank empties and the house still backs up.

Causes are usually roots into a joint, a bellied or broken section, or a line that has simply reached the end of its life. This work is quoted after someone looks at it on site — line length, depth, access and what is on top of it decide the price, and none of that can be judged over the phone.

New installs and significant repairs need a county permit and inspection before work starts.
