Your Sewer Line Repair Questions Answered

We understand that sewer issues can be complex and overwhelming. To help you better understand your options, we have answered the most common questions our Bloomington customers ask about sewer line performance, repair, and replacement.

Most residential sewer repairs are completed within 1 to 2 days. If we utilize trenchless methods like pipe lining or pipe bursting, we can often finish the job in a single day with minimal disruption to your yard. Traditional excavation may take slightly longer depending on the depth and location of the pipe.

The most common culprits in the Bloomington area are invasive tree roots, aging cast iron pipe corrosion, and ground shifting. Over time, roots find even the smallest cracks in a pipe to access water, eventually causing major blockages or structural collapses that require professional intervention.

If the damage is localized to a small section and the rest of the pipe is structurally sound, a spot repair or lining is usually the best choice. However, if the pipe is over 50 years old, made of orangeburg or clay, or has multiple "bellies" (dips), a full replacement is a more cost-effective long-term investment.
