Your sewer line is the critical underground pipe that carries all wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system or septic tank. When this vital component fails, the consequences can be severe — from sewage backing up into your home to contaminated soil in your yard. Taylorsville Plumbing Co provides comprehensive sewer line services throughout Taylorsville, including video camera inspections, professional cleaning, spot repairs, trenchless relining, and complete sewer line replacement.
Sewer line problems are often caused by tree root intrusion, aging pipe materials (clay, Orangeburg, or cast iron), ground shifting, grease buildup, or foreign objects flushed down drains. Many homes in the Taylorsville area have sewer lines that are 30, 40, or even 50+ years old, made of materials that deteriorate over time. Our sewer camera inspection service allows us to see the exact condition of your sewer line from the inside, identifying problems before they cause a complete failure.
When repairs are needed, we specialize in trenchless sewer repair methods that can fix or replace your sewer line without digging up your entire yard. Pipe lining (CIPP) and pipe bursting technology allow us to rehabilitate damaged sewer lines with minimal excavation, preserving your landscaping, driveway, and sidewalks while providing a permanent solution.
Warning Signs for Sewer Line Repair
Recognizing the warning signs early can save you time, money, and prevent significant damage to your property. Here are the most common indicators that it's time to call a professional:
- Multiple drains in the house backing up or draining slowly at the same time
- Sewage odor in the yard, basement, or near cleanout access points
- Unusually lush or green patches of grass in the yard over the sewer line path
- Sinkholes or depressions forming in the yard along the sewer line route
- Gurgling sounds from toilets or drains when water is used elsewhere
- Sewage backing up through the lowest drains in the home, especially floor drains
Don't Wait Until It's an Emergency

Why Hire a Professional for Sewer Line Repair?
Sewer line work is among the most complex and consequential plumbing services. It requires specialized equipment — sewer cameras, hydro jetting machines, pipe lining equipment, excavation machinery — and deep knowledge of local codes, utility locations, and proper repair techniques. In Taylorsville, sewer line work typically requires permits and inspections, which must be arranged by a licensed contractor.
More critically, improper sewer repairs can create health hazards, environmental contamination, and property damage far worse than the original problem. Sewer lines carry disease-causing pathogens, and any work on these systems must be performed to strict standards to protect your family and neighbors. A licensed plumber ensures the job is done safely, to code, and with a warranty that protects your investment.

Taking preventive measures can help you avoid costly plumbing issues down the road. Here are our expert recommendations:
- Schedule a sewer camera inspection every 3-5 years to catch problems before they cause backups
- Never flush wipes (even 'flushable' ones), feminine products, diapers, or paper towels down toilets
- If you have large trees near your sewer line, have roots treated preventively every 1-2 years
- Avoid pouring grease down drains — it solidifies in sewer lines and causes major blockages
- Know the location and material of your sewer line — this helps predict maintenance needs
- Install a backwater prevention valve if your area is prone to sewer backups during heavy rain
- Consider sewer line insurance or a home warranty that covers sewer repairs for homes with older pipes
