Sewer Line Repair Process

Here's How We Handle Your Repair

First, we run a video camera through your sewer line to see exactly what’s causing the problem. This inspection shows us the condition of your pipes, any blockages, breaks, or collapsed sections. You can watch the footage with us—no mystery about what we find.

Based on what the camera reveals, we explain your options. Minor blockages might need drain cleaning. Damaged sections could require spot repairs. Completely failed lines need replacement. We’ll tell you what we recommend and why, with upfront pricing for each option.

If you decide to move forward, we handle the permits and get to work. Many repairs can be done with minimal digging using trenchless methods. For full replacements, we work efficiently to minimize disruption to your property and get your sewer system working properly again.

What's Included in Our Sewer Service

Every sewer line repair starts with our video pipe inspection so you know exactly what you’re paying to fix. We don’t guess—we show you the problem on screen and explain what needs to happen next.

Our repair options include everything from hydro jetting for tough blockages to trenchless pipe lining for damaged sections. For collapsed sewer pipes or lines that are beyond repair, we handle complete replacement with proper permits and inspections.

Ocean’s coastal environment is tough on underground pipes. Saltwater intrusion, shifting soils, and aging infrastructure create unique challenges that we see regularly. We stock the materials and equipment needed for most common repairs, so your job gets done efficiently without delays waiting for special orders.

The only way to know for sure is with a video camera inspection. We run a specialized camera through your sewer line to see the actual condition of the pipes. The camera shows us cracks, breaks, root intrusion, or collapsed sections that can’t be detected from the surface. Based on what we find, we can tell you if a spot repair will solve the problem or if the line needs replacement. Age alone doesn’t determine this—we’ve seen 30-year-old lines that need replacement and 50-year-old lines that just need cleaning.
Ocean’s coastal location creates several challenges for underground pipes. Saltwater intrusion corrodes metal pipes faster than normal. The sandy soil shifts and settles, putting stress on rigid pipe materials. Many homes here were built with cast iron or clay pipes that have reached the end of their useful life. Tree roots are also a major factor—they seek moisture and nutrients, growing into any small cracks or loose joints. Once roots get established, they expand and eventually break the pipe completely.
Costs vary significantly based on what’s actually wrong with your line. A simple blockage removal might cost a few hundred dollars. Spot repairs for damaged sections typically range from $1,500 to $4,000 depending on depth and access. Full line replacement can range from $4,000 to $15,000 based on length, depth, and whether we can use trenchless methods. The video inspection (usually $200-400) tells us exactly what you’re dealing with, so you get accurate pricing instead of rough estimates that change once work begins.
Often, yes. Trenchless repair methods like pipe lining can fix many sewer line problems with minimal excavation—usually just small access holes at each end of the damaged section. This works well for pipes with cracks, minor breaks, or root damage. However, completely collapsed pipes or lines with major structural damage typically require traditional excavation and replacement. The video inspection shows us the extent of damage and whether trenchless methods will provide a lasting repair for your specific situation.
Simple repairs like clearing blockages or spot fixes can often be completed in a day. Trenchless pipe lining typically takes 1-2 days, depending on the length of pipe being repaired. Full sewer line replacement usually takes 2-4 days, including time for permits, excavation, installation, backfill, and final inspections. Weather and unexpected complications can extend timelines, but we’ll give you realistic expectations once we know what work is needed. Emergency repairs get priority scheduling—we understand that sewer backups can’t wait.
Yes, we provide emergency repairs for sewer lines in Ocean, NJ. Sewer backups and major line failures can’t wait for regular business hours. We respond to emergency calls and can often provide temporary solutions to stop immediate damage while planning permanent repairs. Emergency service does carry premium pricing due to after-hours labor and equipment costs, but we’ll explain all charges upfront. For non-emergency situations, regular scheduling typically offers better pricing and allows more time for thorough planning.
