If you’ve noticed unpleasant smells in your yard, gurgling drains, or frequent sewage backups, your home’s sewer line may be in trouble. Traditional sewer line repairs often meant tearing up your lawn, driveway, or garden to access the damaged pipe—but not anymore. Thanks to trenchless sewer repair technology in Glenview, IL, our qualified plumbing team can now fix most sewer issues without wrecking your landscaping.
Signs Your Sewer Line May Be Failing
Your sewer line is an essential part of your plumbing system, and when it starts to fail, the signs can range from subtle to severe:
- Slow or gurgling drains: Especially when multiple drains in the home are affected.
- Sewage backups: Recurring clogs or wastewater backing up into tubs, toilets, or sinks.
- Foul odors: Strong sewer smells in your yard or basement often indicate a break or leak.
- Lush patches of grass: If certain areas of your lawn are greener and growing faster, leaking sewage may be acting as fertilizer.
- Sinkholes or soggy spots: Sudden ground shifts or pooling water in your yard can point to a collapsed or leaking pipe.
If you’re noticing one or more of these warning signs, it’s time to call in the professionals. Our experienced plumbers use advanced diagnostic tools—like video pipe inspection—to assess the condition of your sewer line and determine the best solution.
The Trenchless Solution: Modern Repairs Without the Mess
Gone are the days when sewer line repair meant days of digging, property disruption, and expensive landscaping restoration. With trenchless technology, we can fix or even replace underground sewer lines with minimal surface disturbance.
There are two main types of trenchless sewer repair:
- Pipe Lining (CIPP – Cured-In-Place Pipe): A flexible, resin-coated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and then inflated. Once the resin cures, it forms a new, seamless pipe within the old one—strong, corrosion-resistant, and built to last.
- Pipe Bursting: For pipes that are severely damaged or collapsed, this method involves breaking the old pipe apart while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place. It requires only two small access points and works well for full replacements.
Both methods are faster than traditional dig-and-replace techniques, often completed in a day or less, and they preserve your landscaping, hardscaping, and property value.
