Sewer Repair
Cracked or sagging sewer lines, roots and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
A camera inspection shows you exactly what's going on inside your sewer line before you spend anything on it. We record the line, mark where and how deep each problem is and walk you through the video. From our office on Jodi Road.

Most calls start with one of these:
A standard home inspection doesn't look inside the sewer line. A camera does.
Find out whether it's roots, a sag or a broken joint.
Check the main and the under-floor drains before the new floor goes down.
Find out whether the backup came from your line or an overloaded sewer.
With most homes built in the 1990s and 2000s, Mokena footage tends to look the same.
The most common finding: a low spot where water and paper sit.
Usually from yard or parkway trees planted with the subdivision.
A pipe that's fine but needs cleaning.
Cracks, offsets and root mats in homes built before the 1970s.
You see what we see.
No digging.
The depth and position of every problem marked.
What matters, what can wait and a copy of the video.

Access and line length matter most. A blocked line needs clearing first. We quote a flat price before we start.

"Christian M came out to do our annual service and was super helpful and friendly. I got to see the inside of our sewer access with a big snake camera and he walked me through everything that he was seeing."
"I had J. Blanton Plumbing come service a potential sewer line back-up and I was super impressed with the entire experience. My technician was Stephen Walen and he was fantastic. He scoped our entire line so we could see where our main line hooks up to off-shoots of our other pipes. He walked through all different short & long-term scenarios so we could make informed decisions. [...]"
"Scott B came out to do a full sewer scope and review options as we have a very old home with clay pipes. He was knowledge, professional, and extremely kind. He worked with us on pricing - very trustworthy and transparent! We've never had a bad experience with anyone from J. Blanton. Absolutely recommend!"
Yes, even for a newer home.
Yes. Even a home from the 2000s can have a sag or a root problem. A camera look before you close can turn up a repair worth negotiating.
Yes, location and depth.
Yes. The camera head carries a transmitter, and our locator marks the spot and the depth from the surface.
Yes.
Yes. You keep the recording, which helps with repair quotes, a home sale or an insurance claim.
Before buying or remodeling, yes.
If you're buying, finishing the basement or have big trees near the line, yes. Otherwise there's no need to inspect a line that's working.
It depends on access and length. You'll approve a flat price first.
It depends on access and the length of the line. You'll approve a flat-rate price before we start.
