A sewage backup rising in a basement floor drain, repeated backups every time the washer runs, or a foul smell in the yard that won't go away — sewer line problems escalate fast and rarely resolve on their own. Our Des Moines sewer team camera-inspects before recommending any repair.
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.
Every technician on a sewer job is licensed and insured for underground utility work.
We treat active backups as emergencies, not routine scheduling.
These are the sewer line issues we see most across Des Moines, IA, each requiring a different repair approach.
A waterproof camera is run the full length of the line to locate breaks, root intrusion, or bellied sections.
A resin liner is installed inside the damaged pipe, sealing cracks and root entry points without digging up the yard.
Root removal alone sometimes isn't enough if roots have already cracked the pipe — we check both.
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.
Our Des Moines, IA sewer trucks carry both camera and clearing equipment for a single-visit diagnosis.
The line is camera-inspected, the cause identified, and you'll see the footage before a repair method is recommended.
The repair is completed and camera-verified afterward, backed by a written warranty on the work.
