Expert Sewer Line Repairs

Roots, age, and soil movement can crack or collapse pipes. We replace failed sections, rebuild proper slope, add cleanouts, and verify flow—bringing your system back to NYC code and dependable operation.

Repair Options & Full Replacements

Depending on condition, we perform spot repairs or replace the full run from building to connection. Where appropriate, we’ll discuss less-invasive methods; when excavation is best, we dig carefully and restore the site.

Sewage Backup Right Now?

We respond 24/7 to stop backups, clear blockages, and set temporary relief. Once stable, we plan permanent sewer repairs or replacement with a clear timeline and budget.

  • How do I know it’s the main line?

    Multiple fixtures backing up at once or floor drain overflows point to a main sewer issue. We confirm with a camera.

  • Will you need to dig up the sidewalk or street?

    If the failure is outside the building line, yes—our team secures permits and restores surfaces.

  • How long does replacement take?

    Many jobs complete in 1–2 days; complex street work can take longer based on permits and depth.

  • Is trenchless an option?

    We’ll evaluate site conditions and discuss the best method for your line and budget.

  • Will insurance cover this?

    Policies vary. We provide documentation and photos to support claims.
