Stop Backups Before Property Damage Starts

Sewer line repair and replacement services for homeowners and businesses in Snellville, Georgia.

When you notice wastewater backing up into floor drains or detect foul odors near your yard in Snellville, your sewer line may be cracked, collapsed, or blocked by tree roots. These problems show up as slow draining throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets, or wet spots forming over buried pipe runs. Action Septic Pro evaluates the condition of your sewer line and determines whether a targeted repair or full replacement will restore safe flow to the municipal system.

Sewer line issues stem from aging cast iron or clay pipes that corrode over time, invasive root systems that penetrate joints, or ground shifting that separates connections. We begin with camera diagnostics to locate the exact point of failure, then explain whether a sectional repair will hold or if the entire line needs replacement. Work involves excavating the damaged section, removing the compromised pipe, and installing new materials rated for buried utility conditions common in Snellville. Once reconnected and tested, wastewater moves directly to the city system without pooling, odor, or backup risk.

Contact us if you notice recurring sewer backups or foul odors around your property in Snellville.

What happens during a sewer line replacement

We start by shutting off water flow to prevent additional wastewater from entering the damaged line, then use a sewer camera to confirm the location and extent of the break. Excavation follows the path of the pipe from your home to the connection point, exposing the damaged section so we can remove it cleanly. In Snellville, sewer lines typically run under driveways, landscaping, or side yards, and we work to minimize disruption to those areas while accessing the buried pipe.

After replacement, you will no longer see wastewater pooling in the yard, smell sewage near the foundation, or experience backups when using multiple fixtures at once. The new pipe creates a sealed path that keeps roots out and wastewater moving in one direction. You should notice immediate relief from drainage problems and the elimination of odors that previously indicated a compromised line.

We backfill the trench with compacted soil and restore surface grade, though final landscaping or driveway patching may require a separate contractor. This service does not include interior fixture repairs or unrelated plumbing work. Once the line is installed and tested, wastewater disposal returns to normal, and your property is protected from contamination and structural damage caused by leaking sewer lines.

You probably have a few questions before moving forward

Homeowners in Snellville often ask about the difference between repair and replacement, how long the work takes, and what signs indicate an urgent problem. These answers cover the most common concerns we hear before starting a sewer line project.

How do I know if I need repair or full replacement?
We use a sewer camera to view the inside of your line and identify cracks, root intrusion, or collapsed sections. If damage is localized to one area and the rest of the pipe is structurally sound, a repair may be sufficient, but widespread corrosion or multiple breaks usually require full replacement.
What causes sewer lines to fail?
Aging cast iron and clay pipes corrode and crack over time, while tree roots grow into joints searching for moisture. Ground movement from settling or freeze-thaw cycles can also separate pipe sections, leading to leaks and blockages that eventually cause backups inside your home.
How long does a sewer line replacement take?
Most residential sewer line replacements in Snellville take one to two days, depending on the distance from your home to the municipal connection and the depth of the existing line. Weather and soil conditions can extend the timeline slightly, but we complete excavation, installation, and backfill as quickly as conditions allow.
What will my yard look like after the work is done?
We backfill the trench with compacted soil and level the surface, but grass, plants, and hardscaping will need separate restoration. You will see a cleared strip where the excavation occurred, and we can coordinate with landscapers or contractors if you need help returning the area to its original state.
When should I call for sewer line service?
Call as soon as you notice multiple drains backing up at once, sewage odor near your foundation, or wet areas forming in your yard for no clear reason. These signs usually mean wastewater is escaping the line and putting your property and health at risk, so addressing them quickly limits damage and repair costs.
