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.

Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Tiffin, Iowa
Older Tiffin 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.

Older sewer lines here are clay or cast iron
Plenty of Tiffin homes still run their waste out to the street through clay tile with a joint every few feet, and roots find every one of them. Cast iron scales shut from the inside instead. Either way, a main line that backs up twice in a year is telling you something a camera can confirm in twenty minutes.

Basement floor drain smelled for weeks. Turned out to be a dried trap, not anything serious. He explained it, filled it, and charged for the callout only.

Great communication. Text when they were on the way, a photo of what failed, and the invoice matched the quote exactly. That should be normal and somehow it isn't.

Sewer Line Repair in Tiffin: 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 Tiffin?
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 Tiffin 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.
What should I do while I wait for the plumber?
For anything involving running water, shut the main valve off and open the lowest faucet in the house to drain the pressure. For a gas smell, get everyone outside first and call from there. For a backup, stop using every fixture in the house, not just the one that is blocked.
