Our Comprehensive Approach To Solving Side Sewer Problems
Side sewer problems can develop for several reasons, and the right solution starts with understanding the condition of the pipe. Raymark provides diagnostic, cleaning, repair, and replacement options to help homeowners address problems appropriately.
Side Sewer Inspection & Diagnosis
Recurring backups, slow drains, sewer odors, or unusually wet areas of your yard may indicate a problem with your sewer line. We can help determine whether the issue is isolated to your home’s plumbing or involves the side sewer.
A sewer scope can provide a closer look inside the line, helping identify visible concerns such as cracks, breaks, bellies, obstructions, and tree root intrusion. If an obstruction prevents the camera from moving through the pipe, cleaning may be needed before the entire line can be inspected.
Side Sewer Cleaning & Blockage Removal
Not every sewer backup means the pipe needs to be replaced. Grease, debris, roots, and other buildup can restrict flow through a side sewer and contribute to recurring problems.
Depending on the condition of the pipe and type of blockage, hydrojetting may be an option for thoroughly cleaning the line. Once the line is clear, we can better evaluate whether additional repairs are necessary.
Side Sewer Repair
Cracks, damaged sections, root intrusion, deteriorating pipe, and other defects may require professional repair. Our team evaluates the location and extent of the problem before recommending an approach.
Seattle also requires permits for repairs, alterations, additions, and other specified work involving side sewers, including work that may extend into the public right-of-way.
Side Sewer Replacement
When a sewer line has extensive deterioration, repeated failures, or significant structural damage, replacement may be the more appropriate long-term solution.
Raymark provides complete sewer line services and can explain the options available based on your pipe material, layout, depth, condition, and property.
Trenchless Side Sewer Solutions
Some side sewer problems can be addressed without excavating a large trench across the property. When conditions allow, trenchless sewer services can reduce the amount of digging required to repair or replace a damaged line.
Not every sewer is a candidate for a trenchless solution, so our team will evaluate the line and explain which repair methods make sense for your situation.
