How it works
What to expect
Symptom review and camera inspection
We discuss what you are experiencing, then run a camera through the line to see the actual condition of the pipe, locating blockages, breaks, roots, and bellies precisely.
Diagnosis and repair options
We show you what the camera found and explain your options, from spot repair to trenchless rehabilitation to full replacement, with the trade-offs of each.
Targeted repair execution
We repair or replace the damaged section using the agreed method, keeping excavation as limited as the chosen approach allows.
Verification and flow testing
We run the camera through the repaired section again and test drainage from multiple fixtures to confirm full, unobstructed flow.
Site restoration guidance
We explain what to expect as disturbed areas settle and give guidance on protecting the repaired line going forward.
FAQ
Sewer Odor Diagnosis questions
Why do I smell sewage in my house?
Common causes include a dried-out trap in a rarely used drain, a failed wax ring under a toilet, a cracked sewer pipe, or a blocked vent stack. Each has a distinct pattern, and diagnosis starts with where and when the odor appears.
Can a cracked sewer line cause odors without a backup?
Yes. A cracked pipe can vent sewer gas into the surrounding soil and up through the ground or into the home long before it blocks flow enough to cause a backup. Odor is often the earliest warning sign.
Will the odor go away on its own?
A dried trap can be fixed by running water, but odors from cracked pipe, failed seals, or vent problems persist until repaired. If the smell keeps returning, it needs professional diagnosis.
