Sewer Line Repair in Holmen, WI

When your sewer line fails, you know it immediately. Sewage backs up into your house through the lowest drains, usually your basement. Every toilet, sink, and shower in your home stops draining. It’s disgusting, it’s stressful, and it needs fixing right now.

We handle sewer line repairs all over Holmen and the surrounding areas. Sometimes it’s tree roots that broke through the pipe looking for water. Other times the line collapsed because it’s old clay pipe that finally gave out. Either way, we’ll figure out what’s wrong and fix it.

Signs of Sewer Line Issues

How We Diagnose

We typically begin with a sewer camera inspection to determine the exact cause and location of the problem. This allows us to create a targeted repair plan rather than guessing.

Finding the Problem First

We always start with a camera inspection unless the problem’s obvious. The camera shows us exactly where the damage is and how bad it looks. Maybe it’s just one section that needs replacing, or maybe roots clogged the line but the pipe itself is fine. Knowing what we’re dealing with saves you money because we’re not guessing.

Once we know where the problem is, we dig down to that section. If it’s a small repair, we might only need to replace a few feet of pipe. Bigger problems mean more digging and more pipe replacement. We’ve done full sewer line replacements where the whole thing from the house to the street was shot.

The work takes a few days depending on how much pipe needs replacing and how deep we have to dig. Your yard’s going to have a trench in it while we work. We fill it back in and grade it properly when we’re done, but you’ll need to reseed that section of grass.

We work fast on sewer repairs because we know you can’t use your plumbing while we’re fixing it. Most repairs are done in two to three days. Then you’re back to flushing toilets and running water without worry.

Repair vs Replacement

Depending on your line’s condition, we may be able to repair a small section or a single break. If the pipe is deteriorated, severely damaged, or made of outdated materials, full replacement is usually the most reliable long-term solution.

We use durable piping and proper installation methods to ensure your new sewer line performs well for decades. Our team works efficiently to restore service and minimize disruption to your yard and property.
