Sewer Line Repair in West Jordan, UT & the Wasatch Front

A damaged sewer line can quickly turn into a serious plumbing problem that requires professional sewer line repair in West Jordan, UT. Repairs start with finding out what’s happening underground. At Sunny Home Services, we use camera inspections and other diagnostic tools to identify the location and cause of the problem before providing a recommendation. Depending on the condition of the pipe, that could mean a targeted repair, trenchless rehabilitation, or full pipe replacement.

Warning Signs of a Broken or Cracked Sewer Line in West Jordan Homes

A single clogged sink or toilet usually points to a localized drain problem, but when several fixtures slow down or back up at the same time, the main sewer line should be assessed. The need for a broken sewer pipe repair becomes an emergency issue when wastewater is escaping into the surrounding soil or entering your home.

The clearest signs of a damaged sewer line are:

A cracked sewer pipe repair may also be needed when the pipe has shifted, collapsed, or deteriorated enough to restrict flow. Count on Sunny Home Services to fully inspect, assess, and fix the issue starting with a camera inspection of the line.

Sewer Line Repair Options We Offer

The right sewer line repair option depends on where and how extensive the damage is, and the condition of the pipe.

Targeted sewer repair

A targeted repair makes sense when damage is limited to one section of pipe. The affected area is exposed, repaired or replaced, and the surrounding area is restored.

Trenchless sewer repair

Our trenchless sewer line repair services can reduce disruption to landscaping, driveways, and other surfaces by addressing some problems without excavating the entire length of the line. Trenchless repair isn’t suitable for every situation. Severe collapse, significant displacement, and other structural problems may require excavation.

Traditional sewer repair

Traditional repair involves excavating the damaged pipe and replacing it, and is needed when the pipe can’t support a trenchless repair, or has collapsed or shifted significantly.

Full sewer line replacement

When damage is widespread, or the existing pipe has deteriorated throughout its length, new sewer line installation is recommended.

How We Decide Which Option Fits Your Situation

We decide which option best fits your situation by starting with a camera inspection to see what’s happening inside the pipe. If needed, leak detection helps pinpoint problems that may not be visible from the surface.

From there, we consider the location and extent of the damage, the pipe’s material and age, access to the affected section, soil conditions, and whether the existing pipe is suitable for trenchless repair. If a targeted or trenchless repair is viable, we can limit excavation and disruption of your yard. We’ll explain what we find and provide options before work begins.

If wastewater is actively backing up into your home, don’t wait. Our emergency plumbing services can help address the immediate problem and prevent further damage while we identify the cause.

Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage in Wasatch Front Homes

Sewer pipe damage across the Wasatch Front can be attributed to a number of factors including sewer line age, tree roots, shifting soil, and corrosion.

Older homes and neighborhoods in West Jordan are more likely to have aging sewer lines. Almost 30% of West Jordan’s gravity sewer mains were installed before 1990. Private sewer lines are usually installed when the home is built, so houses in these older neighborhoods often have clay or cast iron pipes, which are more prone to cracking, joint separation, and root intrusion as they age.

Our Residential Sewer Line Repair Process

Our residential sewer line repair process starts with diagnosis.

1
First, we assess the symptoms and inspect the line with a camera to locate the problem and determine whether the pipe has a blockage, crack, break, root intrusion, or structural failure.
2
Next, we’ll explain what we’ve found, and outline the repair options that fit the condition of the line. If the problem is related to a blockage and not structural damage, we’ll advise that our drain cleaning services, including hydro jetting, may be the better solution.
3
You’ll see the price before work begins, so you can decide how you want to proceed.
4
Once you’ve approved the work, our plumbers will complete the repair and document the work along the way.

A straightforward repair may be completed in a day. More extensive work can take longer depending on excavation, pipe depth, access, permitting, and the length of the damaged section. We’ll provide a more accurate timeframe once we know what the line needs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a permit to repair a sewer line in West Jordan?
West Jordan requires a permit for any encroachment into a city right-of-way, easement, or utility system. Since your pipes connect to the main in the street, most repairs qualify. Utility locating is also required before digging.
Is trenchless sewer repair more expensive than traditional repair?
Trenchless repair can cost more than a simple excavation repair, but the total price depends on the property and pipe condition. It can reduce excavation and restoration work. The right choice depends on whether the existing pipe is structurally suitable for trenchless repair, and what the inspection shows.
Is sewer line repair covered by homeowners insurance?
Coverage for sewer line repair depends on your policy and the cause of the damage. Standard homeowners policies don’t automatically cover every sewer line failure, but optional coverage may address sewer or drain backup. Check your policy to see if a repair is covered.
