Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair
Small sewer issues can escalate quickly, turning into major backups and property damage before you know it. If you notice any of the signs below in your Salt Lake City home, it may be time to call a professional.
Sewage Backing Up Into Fixtures
Sewage coming back up through toilets, sinks, or tubs usually points to a serious blockage or damaged sewer line. This issue should be addressed immediately to help prevent contamination and property damage.
Persistent Sewage Odor
A strong sewage smell inside your home or around your yard may mean sewer gases are escaping through cracks or breaks in the line. Persistent odors are often an early warning sign of sewer line damage.
Multiple Drains Clogging Simultaneously
When several drains throughout your home start backing up or draining slowly at the same time, the issue is often connected to the main sewer line rather than a single fixture.
Gurgling Sounds from Drains
Bubbling or gurgling noises from drains or toilets can indicate trapped air caused by a blockage or developing sewer line problem within your plumbing system.
Wet Spots or Unusually Green Patches
Unexpected wet areas or patches of unusually green grass above your sewer line can signal underground sewer leaks, often showing up as wet spots or greener grass above the line. Escaping wastewater often saturates the soil and feeds surrounding vegetation.
Slow Draining Throughout Home
If drains across your home remain slow even after drain cleaning attempts, your sewer line may have a deeper blockage caused by tree roots, buildup, or aging pipes.
Repair vs. Replace: Making the Right Decision
Sewer Line Repair Works Best When:
- The sewer pipe is relatively new (under 30-40 years old).
- Damage is localized to specific sections.
- Pipe structure is generally sound.
- Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining is ideal for minor to moderate cracks, leaks, or root intrusion when the original pipe is still structurally intact.
- First-time sewer line issues rather than recurring problems.
- Simple repair addresses the root cause.
- Trenchless repair can create a completely sealed fix.
- Pipe lining installs a flexible epoxy-coated liner inside the existing pipe, where it hardens into a new, seamless interior wall for cracks, leaks, or limited root intrusion.
Sewer Line Replacement Is Better When:
- Sewer problems frequently recur despite repairs.
- Clay or cast-iron pipes are severely deteriorated.
- Multiple sections of the sewer line have collapsed.
- The sewer line has reached the end of its lifespan (50–100 years).
- Tree root intrusion has extensively damaged the sewer line.
- Age deterioration affects most of the sewer system.
- Full replacements are often recommended when the pipe is too damaged for lining, and in Utah they typically range between $3,000 and $7,000, with complex cases exceeding $10,000.
- Pipe bursting can install a new pipe through the old line when severe deterioration or collapse is present by pulling a seamless HDPE pipe through the existing sewer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Line Repair
Property owners facing sewer line issues often have similar questions. Here are answers from our expert technicians to help you understand repair options.
How do I know if I need sewer line repair or replacement?
If the sewer line damage is localized and the pipe structure is generally sound, a simple repair is usually sufficient; anything worse should be replaced.
Will you have to dig up my entire yard?
Not necessarily. Trenchless sewer line repair allows us to fix most broken sewer systems, including broken pipes, through small access points with minimal excavation, which helps protect driveways and landscaping from major digging.
How long does sewer line repair take?
Trenchless sewer line repair is often completed in a single day. Traditional repair methods might take 1-3 days, depending on the extent of sewer line damage and property restoration needed.
Do you offer warranties on sewer line repair?
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship and the materials we use for all repair services.
What payment options do you offer?
We accept all major payment methods and offer flexible financing for qualifying customers.
Can you repair cast-iron pipes or clay pipes?
Yes! Trenchless pipe lining works excellently for aging cast iron pipes and clay pipes common in older Salt Lake City homes. It’s especially useful in older Salt Lake City neighborhoods with mature trees, where aging clay or even collapsed Orangeburg pipes, tight lots, clay-based soil, and historic landscaping make trenchless repair preferable, and epoxy pipe lining is often used to help seal lines against future root intrusion.
How much does sewer line repair cost?
Costs vary based on the extent of damage, repair method, and accessibility. Trenchless sewer line repair typically provides exceptional value compared to traditional methods, given the avoided landscaping restoration costs.
Do you provide emergency sewer line repair?
Absolutely! We offer 24/7 emergency plumbing service for sewer line emergencies. When sewage backs up or broken sewer systems threaten your property, we respond quickly, typically within 2 hours throughout the Salt Lake City area.
