Sewer Line Repair in Maplewood
A sewer lateral never fails all at once. First the tub gurgles when the washing machine drains, then a stripe of grass out front turns suspiciously green, then one morning sewage stands in the lowest shower of the house. By the time most Maplewood homeowners call us, the line has been failing quietly for a year or more.
What We Dig Up Around Town
The diagnosis depends on the street. The older blocks near the town center sit on clay tile laterals, and the maples this town is named for push roots through every joint until the pipe opens up or collapses. Out along the parkway the pipe is PVC, which roots mostly leave alone, but trenches backfilled in a hurry during the boom settle and shear couplings or fold the run into a low belly that collects waste.
Every repair quote starts with footage from a sewer camera inspection, so you see the break before you pay to fix it. Where the damage sits in one spot, we excavate and replace that section. Where the whole run is shot, trenchless sewer replacement usually saves the yard and the driveway. Both paths are explained on our sewer line repair page, and the Maplewood page lists everything else we handle in town.
