Sewer Line Repair Done Right the First Time
Your sewer line carries every drop of wastewater from your home to the city main. When it cracks, sags or fills with roots, the result is slow drains, backups and costly water damage. In most Utah cities, the line from your house to the city connection is the homeowner’s responsibility.
Our plumbers locate the problem, show you what is causing it and explain whether a section repair or a full sewer line replacement is the better long term fix. You get an upfront price before work begins, and we restore the work area when the job is done.
Warning signs
Signs of a Damaged Sewer Line
One clogged sink is usually a simple drain issue. When several fixtures act up at once, the problem is often in the main sewer line.
Several Slow Drains
Tubs, sinks and toilets draining slowly at the same time point to a main line blockage.
Sewage Backups
Water coming up in a floor drain or lower level tub when fixtures are used upstairs.
Gurgling Toilets
Air trapped in a partly blocked line makes toilets and drains gurgle.
Sewer Odors
A sewage smell inside or outside the home can mean a cracked or separated pipe.
Soggy or Lush Yard Spots
Wet areas or unusually green grass above the sewer line often signal a leak.
Recurring Clogs
Drains that clog again soon after cleaning usually have roots or a broken pipe.
What causes sewer damage
Common Causes of Sewer Line Problems
- Tree roots that find small cracks and grow into the pipe
- Aging pipe such as clay, cast iron or older materials that crack and corrode
- Sagging or bellied lines where the ground has settled and waste collects
- Ground movement and freezing that shift or separate pipe joints
- Grease and debris that build up over time and block the line
Clearing a blockage brings relief, but if the pipe itself is damaged the problem will come back. We help you fix the cause, not just the symptom. For simple clogs, see our clogged drain service.
Section repair
Sewer Line Repair
When the damage is limited to one area, such as a single cracked section, a root intrusion point or a separated joint, we can often excavate and replace just that section. Spot repairs cost less and get your plumbing back in service quickly.
Full replacement
Sewer Line Replacement
If the line is old, has multiple breaks or keeps failing, replacing it is usually the better investment. We replace the damaged line with durable modern pipe, connect it properly at the house and the main, and leave you with a sewer line built to last for decades.
Water main leaks
Water Main and Water Line Leak Repair
The water line that feeds your home is under constant pressure, so even a small leak wastes a lot of water. Watch for:
- A water bill that jumps without explanation
- Low water pressure throughout the house
- Wet spots, sinkholes or running water sounds in the yard
- Your water meter moving when every fixture is off
We find the leak, repair or replace the damaged section and test the line under pressure. Learn more about our leak detection and repair service, or protect your plumbing with a pressure reducing valve replacement.

FAQ
Sewer Line Repair Questions
Who is responsible for the sewer line in Utah?
In most Utah cities, the homeowner is responsible for the sewer lateral that runs from the house to the city main connection. Rules can vary by city, so check with your local public works department if you are unsure.
How do I know if my main sewer line is broken?
Several slow drains at once, gurgling toilets, sewage backing up into a floor drain or tub, sewer odors and soggy spots in the yard are all common signs. We can inspect the line and confirm the cause before recommending any work.
How long does sewer line replacement take?
It depends on the length and depth of the line and what sits on top of it, such as a driveway or landscaping. Many residential sewer line repairs and replacements are completed in one to a few days.
Can tree roots in a sewer line be removed?
Roots can be cleared to restore flow, but they usually grow back through the same crack. If roots have damaged the pipe, repairing or replacing that section is the long term solution.
Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line repair?
Many standard policies do not cover sewer lines damaged by age, wear or tree roots, but some offer service line coverage as an add on. Check your policy or ask your insurance agent.
What should I do if my sewer backs up?
Stop running water and flushing toilets right away to keep more wastewater from backing up, keep family members away from the affected area and call us. Diamond L is open 24/7 for sewer emergencies.
