These are the sewer line issues we see most across Durham, NY, each requiring a different repair approach.
A waterproof camera is run the full length of the line to locate breaks, root intrusion, or bellied sections.
Lining is often viable for cracked or root-damaged pipe that hasn't fully collapsed.
A root-cutting head clears the blockage, then the line is reassessed for structural damage the roots may have caused.
