Cracked Sewer Pipe Repair

A cracked or offset sewer pipe is rarely obvious. At a Lawrence, KS home it may show as yard sewer odor, a soggy strip over the line, repeat root clogs or slow drains. Groundwater seeps in through cracks and joint failures. Find the defect before digging.

Inspection and spot repair
A camera run through the cleanout shows the crack or offset and its distance from the access point, so the plumber can locate it from above. Options include an excavated spot repair, a short lining sleeve for one defect, or replacing a longer damaged run.

Why small cracks matter
A small crack lets in roots and groundwater and can let soil wash into the pipe. About 39 percent of Lawrence homes were built before 1980, and older service lines are worth a camera check.

Call about a sewer scope and describe where you notice odor, soggy ground, or slow drains.
