Cast-iron, clay and offset sewer line repair
Most sewer problems we see in Carmel, Fishers and North Indianapolis come from aging pipe. Here is what we fix most often.
Cast-iron sewer pipe repair
Cast iron rusts and cracks from the inside over the decades. We camera the line, find the bad sections and replace them.
Clay sewer pipe repair and replacement
Clay tile joints let roots in, and sections crack or sag. We repair the damaged section, or replace the line when it is too far gone.
Offset and separated joints
When a joint shifts, waste catches on the lip and roots grow in. The camera shows the offset so we can fix that section.
Root intrusion repair
We clear the roots, then repair the joint they came through so the backups stop coming back.
Sewer line replacement in Carmel and Indy
Older neighborhoods around downtown Carmel and North Indianapolis often need a full replacement. You get options and a price before any digging starts.
Digging only where it is needed
The camera and locator pinpoint the problem, so we dig at the damaged spot instead of trenching the whole yard when a spot repair will do.

Sewer Line Repair & Camera Inspection FAQs
Do tree roots really get into sewer lines?
Yes, especially older clay lines. Roots find the joints and grow inside, which causes repeat backups.
Do I need to replace the whole line?
Not always. Many problems can be fixed with a spot repair. The camera tells us which.
Should I get a sewer inspection before buying a house?
For older homes, we strongly recommend it. A cracked sewer line can be one of the most expensive surprises after closing.
Can you find where my sewer line runs?
Yes. We locate and mark the line before any work.
Can you fix a sewer line without digging up the whole yard?
Often, yes. We camera and locate the line first so we dig only at the damaged section. If the whole line has failed, we show you the video and explain your options before any work starts.
How do I know if I have cast-iron or clay sewer pipe?
Many older homes in Carmel and Indianapolis still have clay or cast-iron sewer lines. A camera inspection shows the pipe material, its condition and how deep it runs.
What are the signs of root intrusion?
Slow drains, gurgling toilets and backups that return after the line is cleared are common signs. Roots show up clearly on the camera.
Sewer backing up?
