A damaged sewer line is one of the more serious plumbing problems a home or business can face. When the main line that carries waste away from your property is cracked, clogged, or collapsed, it can affect every drain in the building and lead to costly damage if it is not addressed quickly. 72 Degrees Comfort Company provides professional sewer line repair services for homeowners and businesses throughout Des Moines, Ankeny, and the greater Central Iowa area.

​

How Do You Know If Your Sewer Line Has a Problem?

​

Sewer line issues are not always obvious at first, but there are warning signs worth paying attention to. If multiple drains in your home are slow or backing up at the same time, the problem is likely in the main sewer line rather than an individual fixture. Sewage odors inside or outside your home, soggy or unusually green patches of grass in your yard, and water backing up into your toilet or floor drains are all signs that something may be wrong with the line running from your home to the city sewer or septic system.

​

The longer a sewer line problem goes unaddressed, the worse it tends to get. If you are noticing any of these signs, it is worth having a professional take a look before minor damage becomes a major repair.

 

How We Diagnose Sewer Line Problems

​

Before any repair work begins, we use video camera inspection to get a clear picture of what is happening inside your sewer line. A small camera is fed through the line so we can see exactly where the problem is and what is causing it. This lets us give you an accurate diagnosis and recommend the right repair for your specific situation without any unnecessary digging or guesswork.

​

Common causes of sewer line damage include tree root intrusion, pipe corrosion, ground shifting, grease and debris buildup, and aging pipes that have simply reached the end of their lifespan.

 

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement Options

​

Depending on what the inspection reveals, there are several ways we can address a damaged sewer line. For pipes that are cracked or deteriorating but still structurally intact, trenchless repair methods can restore the line with minimal disruption to your yard. For sections of pipe that are severely damaged or collapsed, targeted excavation and pipe replacement may be the most effective solution.

​

We will always walk you through what we find and explain your options clearly so you can make an informed decision. Our goal is to solve the problem the right way the first time, using the method that makes the most sense for your situation and your budget.
