Camera inspection
Through a cleanout, a flexible cable feeds a camera into the sewer line. The footage shows the pipe material, any sags, and the points where roots or breaks interrupt the run, with the distance to each.
Sewer Line Repair in Lakewood, New Jersey
Backups, gurgling drains and soggy ground over the line all suggest trouble in the sewer. Call, describe what is happening and we arrange for a plumber to look at the line, with a free estimate.
A camera inspection, root removal, a spot repair or a full replacement are all possible, and which one fits depends on what the camera shows inside the line.
Ways to fix a sewer line
Root cutting
When roots have pushed into a joint, a cable machine cuts them back. That clears the line for a while, but the joint the roots entered still has to be repaired to keep them from returning.
Spot repair
Where the camera shows a single broken or offset stretch, the plumber you hire opens the ground there and replaces just that piece, not the whole run.
A new sewer connection
A failed line, or a house leaving septic for the public sewer, needs a new connection laid from the house to the main, and the plumber plans it around the route the pipe will take.
Old Pine Acres and the move off septic
The Lakewood Township MUA is building public sanitary sewer in the Old Pine Acres neighborhood. The project will let existing homeowners there connect to the sewer and stop relying on individual septic systems and septic fields.
Your home’s age and its sewer line
Pipe in an older house is not the same as pipe in a newer one, because builders switched materials over the years. The sewer line age checker takes the year the house was built and lists the materials that fit that date and where they stand in their service life.
What a camera inspection settles
A recording of the line shows whether the problem is a clog, a joint, a root or a break, so you can decide on a spot repair or a larger job knowing what is underground.
Blockages outside the main line are dealt with under drain cleaning, and runs that need new pipe under repiping. For all other services, go to the homepage.
