Repair a Sewer Line

Most of us take sewer lines for granted, until something goes wrong. After years of constant use and stress, a home’s sewer line can wear out. Clogs and blockages can cost thousands of dollars to repair — a cost likely not covered by your homeowner’s insurance policy. To make matters worse, invasive tree roots, compacted soil, and excess waste can cause further damage and put your property (and finances) at risk.

Our emergency sewer repair specialists are always on-call, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our specialty is working with older homes, which are more likely to have sewer line issues.

Replace a Sеwеr Lіnе Without Tearing Up Your Law

It’s a fact of life. Eventually your sewer line will wear out. This is especially true if you have an older terra cotta (clay tile) or cast-iron sewer line as is the case with many homes in Central Indiana.

If you have an older sewer line, replacing it now can save you a great deal of inconvenience and cost in the near future. If there are holes or significant cracks in the line, replacement is usually the preferred option.

Septic to Sewer Conversions

There are many advantages to connecting your home to a municipal sewer system. For one, you won’t have to worry about flushing out the tank every few years. Secondly, you won’t have the constant worry of a guest accidentally flushing a foreign object that could affect your septic tank’s chemistry.

If a sewer line has recently been installed near your property, John Fowler’s Sewer & Drain can help you decide whether connecting to a municipal sewer line is in your best interest as a property owner. Connecting your home to a municipal sewer line isn’t as simple as connecting a pipe; it involves permits, digging, and the cost may be out of reach for some homeowners. We would be happy to walk you through the process.
