Camera inspection
We feed a camera through the line and watch for roots, cracks, sags and breaks. You can watch the footage before anyone talks about digging.
Sewer Line Repair in Detroit
Repeated backups, slow drains in every fixture or a smell of sewage can mean trouble in the sewer line. A camera inspection shows what is wrong, and then we repair or replace the line.
Sewer work covers Detroit and the cities around it that we serve.
Sewer line options
Clearing roots
A root that grows into a pipe joint can plug the line. Cutting it back restores flow, and a camera check afterward shows if that joint needs to be repaired.
Repairing one section
If the damage is limited to one stretch, only that stretch needs repair. We say where it starts and ends.
Replacing the line
A line that is cracked or collapsed along its length may need replacing. We go over how that work would run and what permits it needs.
The Detroit permit for sewer work
Whether the repair is on your property or under the road, the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department (DWSD) requires a Sewer Service Repair Permit.
A DWSD permit may also call for a plumbing permit from the Buildings, Safety Engineering and Environmental Department (BSEED), so we sort out which ones the job needs.
How old is the line?
The sewer line age checker starts from a house’s age, and the median Detroit house dates from 1947.
