Functional pipes are essential for plumbing to run smoothly, especially the main sewer line that removes waste and wastewater from your home. If you notice issues with your drains, it’s important to have them evaluated by a professional as soon as possible. 

You can turn to the expert plumbers at Three Way Plumbing for fast and reliable sewer line repairs and trenchless pipe patching services. 

We have the experience, skills, and equipment to restore flow to your interior or secondary drain lines and main sewer line. We can then locate the cause of your issue underground without damaging your property. In many cases, it’s a root that has grown and penetrated your main sewer drainpipe. 

Trenchless pipe patching may be an alternative solution to the traditional digging up and exposing of your sewer line to make a necessary repair, so contact one of our plumbers today. 

If you think you have an issue with your sewer line, call (704)-795-9349 immediately to schedule an appointment. 

SIGNS YOU MAY NEED SEWER PIPE REPAIR  

There are several signs that may indicate you need sewer pipe repair. One of the most common indicators is frequent clogs or backups in your drains or toilets.  

If you find yourself constantly plunging or using drain cleaners to clear blockages, it could be a sign of a more serious issue in your sewer line.  

Another warning sign is slow draining sinks, tubs, or showers. If water takes a long time to drain, even after using plungers or drain cleaners, it may point to a blockage or damage in the sewer pipe. 

Here’s a full list of issues that may be telling you it’s time to bring in the professionals to repair a sewer line: 

  • Clogged drains 
  • Gurgling or slow-draining toilet 
  • Gurgling or slow-draining shower 
  • Gurgling in other areas of the home while the washing machine is draining 
  • Wet spots around the base of your toilet 
  • Multiple slow-moving drains in the home 
  • Sewage smells coming from one or more of the bathrooms drains 
  • Landscaping that’s especially lush or suddenly unhealthy 
  • Standing water in the pipe once removing the cleanout cap 

If you notice any of these signs, call Three Way Plumbing right away to schedule drain line patching in the Charlotte area. 

BENEFITS OF TRENCHLESS SEWER LINE REPAIR IN CHARLOTTE  

Trenchless pipe patching, a form of trenchless sewer repair, is a non-invasive solution to many issues with your main sewer line. 

If you just put in new flower beds or landscaping, have large trees you may not want to remove, or a repair is needed under your concrete driveway or walkway, the last thing you want to do is rip up your yard, walkway, or driveway to resolve a plumbing issue. 

Compared to traditional methods, this way of handling sewer line repairs is still cost effective and easier on your property.  

In many cases, we can keep your yard looking great by going in through the access to your main sewer line, rather than digging a trench through your beautiful yard or cutting up concrete. 

Benefits of trenchless pipe patching include: 

  • Holes seal effectively, so your pipe is good as new with minimal decrease in diameter 
  • Non-invasive solution so your yard is maintained 
  • Faster and more efficient since you don’t have to wait for utility experts 

If you believe you have an issue with your main sewer line, one of our plumbers will perform a non-invasive inspection to identify the root of the problem. We’ll use a camera to inspect your sewer line and explain all the solutions available to you. 

If patching the pipe is a viable solution, there will be no need to dig up your yard or leave any damage or mess behind.  

At Three Way Plumbing, our number one goal is to find the easiest solution for you with the smallest disruption to your life. This is where trenchless sewer line repair comes into play.  

No matter how extensive your issues are, you can trust our plumbers to perform high-quality and effective services to repair the issues and prevent further damage.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

ISN'T MY SEWER LINE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE UTILITY COMPANY?

For most jurisdictions in the Charlotte metropolitan area, repairs to the sewer line will be the homeowner’s responsibility. The city, town, or utility company typically services and maintains the main sewer line that serves all the houses in your neighborhood, but any sewer lines between the curb and your home are your responsibility. 

If you’re unsure whether or not sewer line repair is your responsibility, give us a call and we’ll be happy to explain it for you.

HOW LONG DOES A SEWER LINE REPAIR TAKE?

The repair time depends on where the sewer line is, how much pipe needs to be repaired, and the nature of the damage. If the damaged pipe is relatively shallow and easy to access, it may only take a few hours or a day. 

If the pipe is under a slab foundation or in another hard-to-reach area, or if large sections need to be repaired or replaced, it may take several days or a week with all the excavation required.

WHAT IS TRENCHLESS SEWER REPAIR?

Conventional sewer repairs require extensive excavation to access and replace the damaged pipe, which takes a long time and can harm your lawn and landscaping. 

Trenchless methods of sewer repair allow an epoxy liner to be inserted into the sewer pipe; once it cures, it forms a new, long-lasting repair for that section of sewer line with minimal excavation.

WHAT CAN I DO TO AVOID SEWER LINE PROBLEMS?

One of the best things you can do to prevent sewer clogs and backups is to be careful about what you put down the drain. Throw away kitchen grease and oil after it has cooled instead of letting it accumulate in the drains. Add screens or baskets to drains to catch hair, food particles, and debris. 

Only flush waste and toilet paper down the toilet, and throw away all other items like baby wipes, diapers, hygiene products, “flushable” wipes, paper towels, and other foreign debris. Just because the wipes you bought say they are safe to flush, most of the time they will cause sewer line issues. 

Avoid planting trees or bushes near your sewer lines, don’t park near them, and watch for signs of damage like wet soil, erosion, or sinkholes.
