Camera inspection
Camera first. The footage shows breaks, roots and low spots along the line, you can watch it with us, and it settles what the repair should be.
Sewer Line Repair in Royal Oak
Slow drains in more than one fixture, gurgling or a floor drain that backs up can mean trouble in the line that carries waste out of the house. We inspect it first and repair or replace only what needs it.
Sewer jobs are open to addresses in Royal Oak and the cities nearby. Describe the symptoms and where the line runs when you call.
Sewer line options
Clearing roots
Where roots have pushed into a joint, cutting them back lets the line flow again. Damage underneath is a separate repair, and we tell you so.
Repairing one section
When the camera shows damage in one spot, a section can be replaced and joined to the good pipe on each side, without redoing the whole line.
Replacing the lead
Failed along its whole length, the line gets replaced beginning at the house. We walk through the dig with you before anything is decided.
Royal Oak’s permit for sewer leads
Repairing or replacing a private sewer or water lead in the public right-of-way takes an engineering permit from Royal Oak when it requires excavation under the sidewalk, the greenbelt or the roadway.
Royal Oak’s engineering permits must be applied for by the contractor. On local streets, only the city may replace the roadway pavement and sidewalk.
How old is the line
Royal Oak’s median year built is 1956, so half of the town’s homes were built in or before it. The sewer line age checker begins with that year, accepts your own, and compares it with the eras of pipe materials.
