Sewer Line Repair for Charlotte Homes
Charlotte is about 45 minutes south of our base on I-85. Older neighborhoods like Dilworth and Myers Park often have clay sewer pipe under the yard, and the city's big willow oaks send roots into its joints. We run a camera through the line first, so you see the problem before any digging. Permits go through Mecklenburg County Code Enforcement.

Sewer Line Repair Questions from Charlotte
Yes. Older clay sewer pipe has joints every few feet, and roots find the moisture at those joints. They grow inside, catch waste and can crack the pipe. We clear the roots and run a camera through the line, then explain whether cleaning or repair makes more sense.
Call us and describe what you are seeing, where it is in the house and when it started. We will explain what the first visit involves and find a time that works. Before any work starts at your Charlotte home, you get a clear plan and an estimate.
Charlotte is about 33 miles from our base in Landis, roughly 45 minutes south on I-85. That puts it inside our regular service area. When you call, tell us your street and the problem so we can plan the visit and bring the right parts.
We feed a small waterproof camera on a long cable into your sewer line through a cleanout. It sends live video to a screen, so we can see roots, cracks, sags or blockages. It also shows how far down the line the problem is, which helps plan any repair.
