Sewer Line Repair in Delaware, OH
Sewer Problems, Found and Fixed
Your sewer line carries every drop of wastewater out of the house, and when it fails, it doesn't fail quietly. Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Delaware inspects, repairs and replaces sewer lines across Delaware and Union counties. We start with a camera so we know exactly what's wrong before anyone picks up a shovel.
We're The Punctual Plumber. If we're late, we pay you $5 a minute, up to $300.
Sewer Services We Offer
Sewer Camera Inspection
We run a camera through your sewer line and locate problems from above: roots, cracks, offset joints, sags (bellies) and collapsed sections. You see the video and get clear options. It's also smart before buying an older home.
Sewer Line Cleaning and Root Removal
Roots and buildup can often be cleared with cabling and hydro jetting. If roots keep coming back, we'll show you where they're getting in and what it takes to stop them.
Sewer Line Repair
A single cracked, broken or sagging section can often be repaired without replacing the whole line. We locate the damage, dig only where we need to, and repair it with modern pipe.
Sewer Line Replacement
When a line is collapsed, badly deteriorated, or made of old clay or cast iron that keeps failing, replacement is usually the better long-term fix. We replace the line from the house to the connection and restore the area as best we can.
Cleanout Installation
Many older homes don't have an accessible outdoor cleanout. Adding one makes future clearing faster and cheaper and keeps equipment out of your house.
Signs of a Sewer Line Problem
- Water backing up in the basement floor drain or lowest drains
- Several drains slow or clogged at once
- Gurgling toilets, especially when the washer or tub drains
- Sewage smell inside or in the yard
- Soggy, sunken or unusually green patches over the sewer line
- Recurring clogs that come back after cleaning
Sewer Lines in Delaware and Union Counties
Older homes, older pipe. Homes in and around downtown Delaware, Marysville and other older neighborhoods often still have original clay tile or cast iron sewer lines. Clay joints let roots in, and cast iron rusts and scales from the inside over decades.
Mature trees. Big trees mean big roots, and sewer lines are an easy source of water. Root intrusion is one of the most common problems we find on camera.
Who owns the line. In most communities, the homeowner is responsible for the sewer lateral from the house to the public main. When there's a problem, it's usually your repair. We'll help you understand what's yours and what isn't.
