Fix Sewer Blockages and Broken Lines

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in New Braunfels and surrounding areas

When multiple drains in your home back up at once, sewage odors come from your yard, or your lawn develops a soggy spot above the sewer line, the problem is usually a blockage or break in the main line. Plumb - New Braunfels LLC repairs and replaces sewer lines in New Braunfels, using camera inspections to locate blockages, breaks, and root intrusion before digging or recommending a repair method.

We clear clogs with hydro jetting that scours the inside of the pipe, repair cracked sections with trenchless lining that avoids full excavation, and replace collapsed or heavily damaged lines with new PVC piping that won't corrode or shift. Root intrusion repairs include cutting out the invaded section and installing root barriers to prevent future growth into the line. Every repair is tested with a camera to confirm flow and structural integrity before backfilling.

If your drains won't clear or you notice signs of a sewer problem, contact us to schedule a camera inspection in New Braunfels.

Camera Inspections Pinpoint the Problem

Sewer line repairs start with a camera inspection that shows us the inside of the pipe, the exact location of the blockage or break, and the condition of the surrounding sections. In New Braunfels, tree roots from live oaks and other species commonly penetrate older clay or cast iron lines at the joints, creating blockages that recur unless the damaged section is repaired or replaced. The camera footage tells us whether jetting will clear the line or if a structural repair is necessary.

After repair, your toilets and drains empty quickly without gurgling, sewage odors disappear from your yard, and your lawn dries out where it was previously soggy. Trenchless repairs restore flow without tearing up driveways or landscaping, and new pipe sections last decades without the risk of root intrusion or corrosion.

Full replacements involve excavating the damaged section, removing old pipe, and installing new PVC sewer line sloped to code for proper drainage. We test the line with water flow and a final camera pass to confirm no obstructions or low spots before backfilling and restoring the surface. Repairs and replacements include locating your cleanout access point or installing a new one if the existing access is buried or damaged.

You Probably Have a Few Questions

Before scheduling a sewer line repair or replacement, homeowners in New Braunfels usually want to know what the camera will show, how long the repair takes, and whether they can avoid digging up their yard.

How does a camera inspection work?
We insert a waterproof camera on a flexible cable into your sewer cleanout or through a drain, then record footage as the camera travels through the line. The video shows blockages, cracks, root intrusion, and pipe condition, and we mark the depth and location of any issues.
What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless repair involves inserting a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe, then inflating it to press against the interior walls. Once the resin cures, it forms a new pipe inside the old one, sealing cracks and root entry points without excavation.
How long does a sewer line replacement take?
Most residential sewer line replacements take one to two days, depending on the length of the line and the depth of the trench. Trenchless repairs are usually completed in a single day.
Will tree roots grow back into the sewer line?
Roots grow toward moisture and will return if the pipe has gaps or cracks. Replacing the damaged section with solid PVC pipe eliminates entry points, and root barriers can be installed to deflect future growth away from the line.
What causes a sewer line to break?
Sewer lines break due to soil shifting, tree root pressure, corrosion in older metal or clay pipes, and ground settling over time. Once a line breaks, sewage leaks into the surrounding soil, which creates odors and soggy spots above the damaged area.
