Do you require assistance with the upkeep of your sewer line? Please contact us!

Did you know that the sewer lines that connect your sewer to the city’s main line are your responsibility as a homeowner? Some homeowners are unaware that they are responsible for this. It can be a shock to learn that your sewer has to be fixed or replaced, but the good news is that we are here to help!

Midwest Plumbing will help you keep your sewer in good working order at a reasonable price. We can repair your sewer line before it becomes a serious issue for you or the environment. Our staff may also do a routine sewer inspection to avoid serious damage to your pipes, which could result in floods and groundwater contamination.

Sewer Problems: Detection

It may be time to get your sewer fixed or replaced if you have water backing up in your basement, or if your drains are gurgling or running slowly with strange smells emanating from them.

Damage to your sewer can be caused by a variety of factors, including:

• Roots of trees
• Soil shifting
• Ground that is frozen
• Grease accumulation
• Blockages
• Age-related wear and tear
• Pipe seals that have failed

The only way to know if your sewer needs to be repaired or replaced is to have a professional plumber inspect it. Sewer cameras are used by our sewer repair professionals to obtain a better look at the condition of your sewer. Only after a thorough examination of your sewer can we provide recommendations for repair or replacement.

What Does it Cost to Repair a Sewer?

Repairing a sewer line is a difficult task. Because the sewer main line is completely underground, the only way to get to it is to dig up your yard. To reach your sewer main, our skilled plumbers may need to employ heavy machinery such as a backhoe. We’ll also need to get a permit from the city during this time. All of these items can surely add up to a large sum of money.

Midwest Plumbing provides sewer repair at a reasonable price. We also make certain that our charges are clear before beginning the repair. We understand that getting your sewer repair fixed is more vital than generating a profit.

Consider a Clean-Out for Sewer Maintenance.

A clean-out is a hole in your sewer line that allows you to snake it out and clear it of any roots or debris. Our plumbers advocate a clean-out installation to avoid more problems and make future sewer maintenance easier. Because roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line damage, it’s a good line to have your clean-out snaked on a regular basis to prevent root growth. By investing in a clean-out installation, you will be doing yourself a great favor in terms of preventing potentially dangerous root growth inside clay sewer pipes.

Sewer lines serve a single purpose: to transport wastewater from a home or facility. When a sewer pipe breaks, it may be a major headache for homeowners and business owners. It doesn’t have to be that way with Midwest Plumbing. We’ve been delivering quality sewer line services throughout the Indianapolis area for almost two decades.

PERFORMING THE JOB PERFECTLY THE FIRST TIME

Our crew gets the work done perfectly the first time thanks to our cutting-edge equipment. Without having to dig up the yard or driveway, we use a waterproof video camera to locate the problem.

This enables us to complete the repair work and clean the site as quickly as possible, allowing you to use your sinks and toilets without fear of a backup.

WHEN DO YOU NEED TO CONTACT US?

Wastewater might back up in your plumbing fixtures or flood out into your yard if your system is compromised. Keep an eye out for these indicators of a broken sewer line so you can call us right away for help:

• A distinct odor. Give us a call as soon as you smell sewage (a rotten egg-like odor) in your lawn, basement, or anyplace else in your home or business. The source of the odor could be your sanitary sewer , which requires immediate repair.
• Pipes make a gurgling noise. It’s never a good sign if you hear a peculiar, gurgling noise coming from the toilet or the bathtub drain after you’ve taken a bath. Your sewer line is most likely clogged, and a plunger may not be enough to clear it. Immediately contact a plumber.
• A flooded yard. Water gathering in the yard for no apparent reason could indicate a sewage leak. Take note of where the puddles are forming; this may help us figure out where the leak is coming from.
• Pest infestation along the sewer line. Don’t ignore a sudden outbreak of rodents, cockroaches, or other pests in your yard or near sewer pipes. A sewage pipe break is most likely attracting the incorrect kind of visitors to your location.
• Inconsistent water level in the toilet bowl. The toilet bowl has plenty of water one day and then has almost none the next. It could indicate a clog in your sewer system, which should be remedied as soon as possible to avoid a costly backup.

Have you observed any of these warning signs? Don’t put off calling a professional plumber for too long. Please contact us right away.

SOLUTIONS FOR SEWER LINE REPAIR

Our professionals are completely prepared and skilled to execute sewer line repairs across Indianapolis, with over 20 years of training and experience. We provide a wide range of home and business plumbing services in the area, including:

• Pipe relining — This is a low-cost method of repairing pipes. Instead of digging, rebuilding, and destroying your yard, pipe relining simply replacing the broken pipe with a specific resin. Our technicians will insert a resin-soaked felt tube into the damaged pipe, allowing the resin to cure and construct a new, sturdy pipe within it.
• Burst Pipe Hydraulic Replacement – This is similar to pipe relining in that it does not require digging and replacement. Instead, our specialists employ a bursting instrument, which causes the current pipeline to “burst” and break. In a home or commercial sewer, a new pipeline is quickly hauled in and fills the void left by the old, ruptured pipe. The old pipe is frequently replaced with a similar or larger pipe using this method of repair.
• Sewer Line Replacement – In some circumstances, the damage is so severe that traditional pipe relining and replacement are insufficient. A sewer line replacement is far more cost-effective, and it assures that your entire sewer line is running properly. Before we start working, we conduct high-quality video inspections and other assessments, map out the replacement, and notify you of our whole plan.
• Pipe Maintenance — Midwest Plumbing offers pipe maintenance to guarantee that your sewer line is in good working order. Problems are detected by us.

SEWER LINE REPAIR SIGNS

Here are several indicators that sewer line repair in Indianapolis or the neighboring areas may be required:

1. Clogged Pipes: From backed-up toilets to non-biodegradable things not going down the drain, clogged pipes can indicate a sewer main problem. Clogged pipes can also be indicated by gurgling sounds emanating from the toilet.
2. Flooding in the Neighborhood: Wastewater should be disposed of in the ground, away from your home. You may have a broken sewer or clogged sewer line if you see or feel wastewater flooding in the soil surrounding your home or on the street.
3. Consistently Blocked Drains: A blockage every now and then isn’t a huge concern. However, if you have a clog on a regular basis, there’s a good chance something else is wrong.
4. Increased Water and Sewer Bills: Keeping track of your average water and sewer bill might help you spot a surge. If your water or sewer costs suddenly increase, there’s a good chance you have a broken sewer main.

If any of the scenarios above apply to you and you require sewer line repair in Indianapolis or the surrounding areas, you should contact a plumber. A video camera will be sent through the sewer pipe by licensed plumbers to inspect and detect any sewer line issues. The camera is used to visualize the issue and pinpoint the exact location of the pipe damage. This will save you money in the long run because you won’t have to replace the entire sewer line.

SEWER PIPE REPLACEMENT

Excavation Repair

Because your home’s sewer line is located on the external perimeter, the repair will need digging up your yard. When a problem is discovered, a sewer pipe repair will be carried out once the pipe has been exposed by digging into the ground. To get to the exact position of the broken pipe, you may need to dig through your landscape, patio, driveway, or lawn. Excavation necessitates the use of specialized equipment and workers, and it will add to the overall cost of your sewer pipe job.

Repair Without Excavation – Trenchless Sewer Line Repair

There are times when excavation isn’t necessary. When replacing a functioning pipe into your existing sewer main, sewer line repair below the surface can be done without excavation.

Cured-in-place-pipe (CIPP) and trenchless sewer repairs are examples of non-excavation repairs. Trenchless CIPP is a method of inserting an epoxy pipe into your sewer system existing line without having to dig a trench. This pipe clears as it is placed and then remains in place even if the pipe is fractured. It’s extremely similar to trenchless pipe bursting. A pneumatic or hydraulic head is dragged through the sewer pipes in your home. Along the route, a new pipe is inserted.
