Sewer Repair
Tree roots, cracked pipe and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
In Naperville, the line from your house to the main is yours to maintain. A camera inspection shows you its real condition, from roots to sags, before you spend money on it. You watch live, and we mark every problem by distance. From our office on Main Street.

Why Naperville homeowners book one:
You take over the service line at closing. A home inspection doesn't look inside it.
The camera shows where they're getting in, so you can fix the entry point.
Check the line before a new basement bathroom ties into it.
Dropping a ring down the drain doesn't mean it's lost forever. Our camera can help you locate jewelry and other valuables inside the line.
About 8 in 10 Naperville homes were built between 1970 and 2009. Older homes near downtown add clay to the mix.
The city's number one cause of backups, and our number one finding. The camera shows exactly which joint they're coming through.
Older vitrified clay laterals with open joints that let in roots and groundwater.
Low spots in PVC where the soil settled, collecting water and solids.
We follow the line to the city main and mark the distance, so you know what's yours and where the problem is.
Many Naperville basements get finished years after the house is built. A camera look at the line before the drywall goes up costs far less than fixing a backup in a brand-new space.
Here's the process:
No digging or cutting.
You watch with us as the camera travels the line.
Every issue marked by distance, and a copy of the video for you.

"We had Scott and Payton come by and give us a camera review of our sewer and discuss the different remedies for making sure we didn't have any backups in the future. They were very thorough and knowledgeable and super nice guys."
"We had a good experience with Mike. He inspected our sewer line and showed us the camera footage and clearly explained the sewer relining repair we needed. Mike was knowledgeable and helpful. All in all a good experience."
"Julian and Christian were out at my house today very nice and respectful boys they flushed out my water heater and inspected my sewer with a very fancy camera very helpful boys and they let me tell them some of my jokes"
Yes. You'll maintain the line after closing, and a home inspection won't check it.
Yes. In Naperville, homeowners maintain the line from the house to the city main, and a standard home inspection doesn't look inside it. A camera inspection shows roots, sags or cracks while you can still negotiate.
Every few years, or yearly if roots are a known problem.
Every few years for most homes, and once a year if roots are a known problem. Any time drains slow down or gurgle, a camera check tells you why.
It depends on the line and access. Call and we'll walk you through it.
It depends on the length of the line, the access points and what we find. Give us a call and we'll walk you through it.
You see it, we explain the options and give you a flat price. You decide.
