Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Utah

A damaged sewer line isn’t something you can put off. Whether it’s a cracked pipe, root damage, a collapsed section, or a line that’s deteriorated beyond cleaning, Drain Kingz has the tools and experience to fix it right.

We provide sewer line repair, spot repairs, full replacement, trenchless solutions, and excavation services for homes and businesses across Salt Lake, Utah, Davis, and Weber counties. Every job starts with a camera inspection so we know exactly what we’re dealing with before any work begins. Call (801) 335-9197

How Do You Know Your Sewer Line Needs Repair?

Some sewer line problems are obvious. Others build slowly until something fails. Here are the most common warning signs:

  • Persistent drain clogs or slow drains that don't respond to cleaning. If drain cleaning or hydro jetting isn't solving the problem, the issue may be structural damage in the sewer line itself.
  • Sewage backups into your home or building. This is one of the most urgent signs. If sewage is coming back through floor drains, toilets, or tubs, there's likely a break, collapse, or major blockage in the line.
  • Sewer odors indoors or around your yard. A cracked or separated sewer line leaks gas and sewage, which creates noticeable odors near your foundation or in your yard.
  • Soggy, sunken, or unusually green patches in your lawn. Leaking sewage acts as a fertilizer and saturates the soil above the damaged section of pipe.
  • Gurgling sounds from toilets or drains. Air getting trapped by a blockage or break in the line can cause bubbling and gurgling noises throughout your plumbing.
  • Foundation cracks or shifting. A leaking sewer line under or near your foundation can erode soil over time, leading to settling and structural issues.
  • Your sewer line is more than 30 years old and never inspected. Older pipe materials like cast iron, clay, and Orangeburg deteriorate over time and are more prone to cracks, root intrusion, and collapse.

Our Sewer Line Services

Not every sewer problem requires the same solution. We offer a range of repair and replacement options and always recommend the most appropriate one for your situation.

  • Sewer line spot repairs. When the damage is limited to one section of pipe, we target only the affected area. We cut out the damaged portion and replace it with new material. This saves you the cost and disruption of replacing the entire line when only part of it needs attention.
  • Full sewer line replacement. When the pipe is too damaged, deteriorated, or old to repair in sections, a full replacement is the right call. We remove the existing line and install new pipe using modern, long-lasting materials.
  • Trenchless sewer repair. For qualifying situations, trenchless methods allow us to repair or replace a sewer line with minimal digging. This means less disruption to your yard, landscaping, driveway, and property. We'll let you know during the inspection whether your line is a candidate for trenchless repair.
  • Excavation services. When the line is deep, under concrete, or in a location that requires traditional access, we handle the full excavation, repair, and backfill. We work carefully to minimize the impact on your property and restore the area after the job is complete.
  • Sewer cleanouts. We clear obstructions from your sewer line including grease, debris, and invasive roots to restore proper flow. For recurring issues, we pair cleanouts with a camera inspection to determine whether the line needs repair.

Trenchless vs. Traditional Sewer Repair

Both methods get the job done. The right choice depends on the condition and location of the pipe, the type of damage, and the layout of your property.

Trenchless repair
Minimal digging required. Less disruption to your yard, landscaping, and property. Faster completion in many cases. Best for lines that are still structurally intact enough to support a liner or allow pipe bursting. Not every situation qualifies, which is why the camera inspection comes first.
Traditional excavation
Full access to the pipe through open trenching. Required when the line is collapsed, severely damaged, under concrete, or at a depth or angle that trenchless methods can't reach. More disruptive to the property but sometimes the only way to fully resolve the issue.
We don’t push one method over the other. After the camera inspection, we’ll explain what we found, which approach makes sense, and why. You’ll have the full picture before any work starts.

Residential and Commercial Sewer Repair

Sewer line problems affect homes and businesses differently, and we approach each one accordingly.

Homeowners And Landlords

A failing sewer line can cause backups, water damage, foul odors, and even foundation issues. We work quickly to diagnose the problem and get it repaired with as little disruption to your daily life as possible.

Restaurants and commercial

A sewer issue at a business can mean health code violations, lost revenue, and unhappy customers. We understand the urgency and work around your operating schedule to get the job done fast.

Property managers and HOA's

Managing multiple properties means dealing with aging sewer lines across different buildings. We help property managers identify and resolve sewer issues efficiently. Pair with a preventative maintenance plan to stay ahead of problems.
“Great company… They showed up after short notice. Told me what he was going to do to fix my clog and got it taken care of way faster than I thought. And the price reasonable. To be honest I wouldn’t mind paying a little more, just because of the work ethic.” – Doug Silva

What to Expect During a Sewer Line Repair

We keep the process straightforward and transparent from start to finish.
  • Camera inspection. Every sewer repair starts here. We run a camera through the line to identify the exact location, type, and severity of the damage. This tells us what repair method is needed and gives us the information to provide you with an accurate estimate.
  • Clear explanation of your options. We walk you through what we found, show you the footage, and explain the recommended repair along with any alternatives. You'll understand the scope of work and the cost before we do anything.
  • Repair or replacement. Whether it's a spot repair, trenchless fix, or full excavation and replacement, we complete the work efficiently and with minimal disruption to your property.
  • Post-repair inspection. After the repair is complete, we run the camera through the line again to confirm proper flow, verify the repair, and make sure everything is in good condition.
  • Site cleanup. We don't leave your property a mess. If excavation was required, we handle backfill and do our best to restore the area to its original condition.

Sewer Repair FAQ's

How do I know if my sewer line needs repair or just cleaning?
A camera inspection is the best way to find out. If the line is structurally sound but clogged with grease, roots, or debris, cleaning or hydro jetting may be all you need. If the camera reveals cracks, breaks, collapse, or severe deterioration, repair or replacement is the right move.
How much does sewer line repair cost?
It varies depending on the type of repair, the length and depth of the line, accessibility, and the method used. Spot repairs cost less than full replacements. Trenchless repairs can sometimes be more cost-effective than traditional excavation because of reduced labor and restoration. We provide an upfront estimate after the camera inspection so you know exactly what to expect.
How long does a sewer line repair take?
pot repairs and trenchless work can often be completed in a day. Full line replacements that require excavation may take two to three days depending on the scope. We'll give you a clear timeline before starting.
Will sewer repair tear up my yard?
It depends on the method. Trenchless repair requires minimal digging and preserves most of your landscaping. Traditional excavation does require trenching, but we work carefully and restore the area after the job is done. The camera inspection helps us determine which approach is possible before we start.
Can tree roots damage my sewer line permanently?
Yes. Roots can crack pipes, separate joints, and cause ongoing blockages. If the damage is minor, we can remove the roots and repair the affected section. If roots have caused significant structural damage, replacement of that section may be necessary.
Do you replace sewer lines under concrete or driveways?
Yes. When the sewer line runs under concrete, driveways, or other structures, we have the equipment and experience to access it. In some cases trenchless methods can avoid breaking concrete altogether. We'll assess the situation during the inspection and explain the best approach.
