Root intrusion, a bellied line, or a collapsed section of pipe all present differently, and our Ithaca, NY technicians diagnose the actual cause before quoting a fix — not just clear the immediate backup and move on.
We show you the actual condition of the line via camera before discussing repair versus replacement.
Pipe lining can often repair a damaged sewer line without full excavation of your yard or driveway.
Sewer work in Ithaca, NY 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.
A root-cutting head clears the blockage, then the line is reassessed for structural damage the roots may have caused.
When a section has collapsed or is too damaged for lining, we replace it, minimizing excavation to the affected section where possible.
Active backups get immediate dispatch to clear the blockage and stop sewage from continuing to back up into the home.
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.
A technician with camera equipment is routed to Ithaca, ready to inspect the line on arrival.
You'll get a written price for the recommended repair — lining, spot repair, or replacement — before work begins.
We re-inspect after the repair to confirm the line is clear and intact, then back it with a warranty.
