Common Signs of Sewer Line Problems
There are a few common signs that your sewer line may be in need of repair. These include:
If you're experiencing any of these issues, it's important to contact a professional plumber as soon as possible. Ignoring sewer line problems can lead to more serious issues and costly repairs down the line.

We use the latest techniques and equipment to ensure that your sewer line is repaired quickly and effectively. Our team will work with you to determine the best course of action for your specific needs, whether that's traditional sewer line repair, trenchless repair, or replacement.
To permanently fix a main line and prevent recurring stoppages, we have to dig.
Now, whether we’re simply digging a trench or actually tunneling under your home depends on where the problem area is. For instance, if we find out during our visual inspection that the cause of your main line stoppage in Houston is tree roots, then we will dig a trench, remove the concrete pipes, replace them with schedule 40 PVC, and tie them into the city line. But if we find that the problem is a bellied PVC pipe or channel rot occurring underneath your home, then things get a little trickier.
To fix any length of pipe under your home, we have to dig an access tunnel.
Sometimes, all that’s needed is a spot repair, which is when we fix a little section of pipe. For instance, if we determine from our visual inspection that your main line stoppage is occurring right next to a fixture, like a tub or a toilet on the edge of your home, than we only have to dig a small access tunnel. But if your main line has a belly in the middle of your home, we need to dig a long access tunnel and either re-slope the pipe or completely replace it. In instances where the problem is cast iron-channel rot, we will replace sections or the entire main line with schedule 40 PVC.
When we’re running a cable down your pipe to clear the stoppage, if we hit mud, we recommend a Houston main line reroute. Why?
Because mud indicates that there is a hole in your main line, and it’s almost impossible to patch a hole in an underground pipe. So the easiest solution is to reroute.For a reroute, we cap the old line and build a new one running from your fixture to the outside of your home and then back underground. We either tie this rerouted line past the area that’s rotted through on your main line, or we reroute and replace the main line completely. Red One always uses schedule 40, solid core PVC in our reroutes, and we try to use a thicker diameter pipe with steep slope to ensure your waste-water can easily flow down your main line and get where it’s going.
