A sewage backup rising in a basement floor drain, repeated backups every time the washer runs, or a foul smell in the yard that won't go away — sewer line problems escalate fast and rarely resolve on their own. Our Des Moines sewer team camera-inspects before recommending any repair.
No sewer repair is recommended without first confirming the cause on camera.
Pipe lining can often repair a damaged sewer line without full excavation of your yard or driveway.
Sewer work in Des Moines, IA requires specific licensing beyond general plumbing — our technicians carry it.
We treat active backups as emergencies, not routine scheduling.
From a first-time backup to a sewer line that's collapsed and needs full replacement, we diagnose before recommending the scope of repair.
A waterproof camera is run the full length of the line to locate breaks, root intrusion, or bellied sections.
Lining is often viable for cracked or root-damaged pipe that hasn't fully collapsed.
Root removal alone sometimes isn't enough if roots have already cracked the pipe — we check both.
Full replacement is reserved for lines beyond repair — we'll always explain why lining isn't viable first.
We prioritize stopping the active backup first, then diagnose the root cause afterward.
Recurring backups on an otherwise sound line often just need scheduled jetting to stay clear.
Describe the symptoms to dispatch — a single backup versus recurring issues changes how the visit is scheduled.
Our Des Moines, IA sewer trucks carry both camera and clearing equipment for a single-visit diagnosis.
The line is camera-inspected, the cause identified, and you'll see the footage before a repair method is recommended.
We re-inspect after the repair to confirm the line is clear and intact, then back it with a warranty.
