: Unusually lush, green, or soggy patches of grass over the area where your sewer pipe is buried. Common Causes
Rectifying a clogged sewer line has evolved significantly with technology. In the past, resolving a blockage often required guesswork and extensive excavation of a yard to locate the problem. Today, the industry utilizes video camera inspections to visually navigate the interior of the pipes, pinpointing the exact location and nature of the blockage. For simple obstructions, motorized drain snakes or augers can physically break through debris. However, for more stubborn blockages like scale buildup or tree roots, hydro-jetting—a process that uses high-pressure water streams to scour the interior of the pipe—has become the gold standard. In cases where pipes have collapsed or degraded beyond repair, trenchless repair methods, such as pipe bursting or cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP), allow for replacement without the need to dig up an entire landscape.
