Request a Free Sewer Repair Estimate

Call

Estimates are free. Call now. (855) 804-1434

Open 24 hours, 7 days a week. This is the national line. If your state has a vetted contractor, their direct number is on your state page and rings them with no hand-off; the national line works for every state and will route you or find you a contractor. A sewer backing up right now is exactly what either number is for.

What happens after you reach us

1. A short conversation about the property, what you are seeing, roughly when the building went up and where the cleanout is, so the right contractor comes out with the right equipment.
2. A camera through the line, recorded, with each defect located from the surface and its depth marked. You get the file. If you already have inspection video, send it.
3. The footage, reviewed with you, followed by a written scope that names the method for each section of pipe, the permit, the restoration, the warranty and the reasons the alternatives were set aside, including a dig when that is the honest answer. Then the price.
4. The work, scheduled around your hours and closed with a second camera run you watch, plus the permit sign-off for your file.

Worth having handy

None of this is required; each item makes the first conversation shorter and the first visit more useful:

• Roughly when the building was built, which usually says what the pipe is made of before anyone looks
• What you are seeing: a tub filling when the washer drains, several slow drains, gurgling, a sewer smell, a soft spot in the lawn, a sinkhole in the lot
• How many times the line has been cabled or jetted, and what came out
• Any existing sewer video or inspection report, from a home inspection, an escrow scope or a utility survey
• Where the cleanout is, if you know
• Any bid you already have in hand; a second look at it is part of what the call is for
• For a building: how many units or fixtures, which stacks or drains are affected, and whether there is a drawing of the drainage

Buyers, sellers and agents

A sewer scope during escrow is routine on older houses and the clock is short. Say so when you call. The contractor reviews the inspector's video, confirms it with their own camera if needed, and delivers a written finding and a fixed scope fast enough to use in negotiation or to carry through a repair credit. Our residential page covers how that plays out.

Property managers, engineers and public agencies

Ask for a survey rather than an estimate. A building is videoed reach by reach, a storm system from the catch basins, a main from the manholes, and the survey becomes a condition map and a phased scope. The commercial and municipal pages describe what to require in the contract, from insurance certificates to bonds and bypass plans.

Contractors

This form is for property owners. If you are a sewer contractor who wants to be listed, use the application instead; the network map shows which territories are open.

What a free estimate includes

The estimate is a written document, not a number on the phone. It names the method, the length and diameter of pipe involved, the permits that apply, the restoration, the warranty and the reasons the other methods were set aside, and it comes with the inspection video it was built from. The inspection itself is a modest service call that listed contractors typically credit toward the repair. Take the footage to another licensed contractor if you want a second opinion; that is what the file is for, and the price does not change because you asked.
