Sump pump died during a storm. Called at 11pm, got a person, had a new pump and a battery backup in the next morning. Basement stayed dry through the rest of the week.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Charles City, Iowa
Older Charles City neighbourhoods are largely clay tile or cast iron under the front yard, and both fail predictably. Clay lets roots in at every joint. Cast iron scales shut from the inside and eventually cracks along the bottom. We camera the run, find the failure, and tell you whether it can be lined from inside or has to come up.
Call (833) 435-9778 and describe what is happening. We will give you an arrival window before you hang up and a flat price before anyone starts work - the same price at 2am as at 2pm.

Tree roots and the front yard
Mature trees are one of the nicer things about older Charles City streets and one of the harder things on sewer lines. Roots do not break into a sound pipe - they find a joint that has already opened slightly and then widen it. Cutting them buys a season; lining the pipe ends it.

Second opinion on a quote to dig up our whole sewer line. They cameraed it, found one bad section, and lined it for a fraction. Saved us thousands.

Two bathrooms remodelled and they did all the rough-in. Inspector had nothing to say, which apparently is the highest compliment available.

Sewer Line Repair in Charles City: common questions
How do I know if my sewer line needs repair or just cleaning?
The camera decides it. If the pipe is sound and roots or grease are the problem, cleaning is enough. If it is offset, bellied or cracked, cleaning buys months and then you are back. We show you the footage either way.
Is trenchless sewer repair available in Charles City?
In many cases yes - it depends on the pipe's condition and the layout of the run. Lining and pipe bursting can save a driveway or a mature tree. If your Charles City line cannot take a liner we will say so rather than sell it anyway.
How long does sewer line replacement take?
A trenchless job is often one day. An open-cut replacement usually runs one to three days depending on depth, length and what is on top of it. We give you a schedule up front.
Does homeowners insurance cover a sewer line?
The line itself usually is not covered, though resulting water damage sometimes is, and some policies offer a service line rider. Check your policy - we can supply the camera footage and a written report for a claim.
