Fix Backups Before They Flood Your Home

Sewer line inspection and replacement services in Kennesaw, Georgia and neighboring areas

When drains throughout your Kennesaw or surrounding area home start backing up at the same time, or you notice sewage odors coming from sinks or floor drains, the problem is usually not inside the house. Your sewer line carries wastewater from every drain to the municipal sewer system, and when that line becomes blocked or damaged, waste has nowhere to go. You may see water pooling around the cleanout in your yard, hear gurgling from toilets when you run water elsewhere, or find that plunging and snaking individual drains no longer helps.

The Neighborly Plumber provides sewer line inspections and replacements for homeowners in Kennesaw who are dealing with persistent backups, slow drainage, or confirmed line damage. We use video camera inspections to locate blockages, cracks, root intrusion, and collapsed sections without guessing. Once we identify the cause, we explain whether the line can be cleared or if replacement is necessary to prevent ongoing issues. We focus exclusively on sewer systems and do not perform septic work.

If your drains are backing up repeatedly or you suspect sewer line damage in Kennesaw or a surrounding area, reach out so we can inspect the line and recommend the right solution.

What We Find During a Camera Inspection

When you schedule an inspection in Kennesaw, we insert a waterproof camera into your sewer line through an existing cleanout or access point. The camera travels the full length of the line and sends live video back to a monitor so we can see exactly what is causing the problem. We look for tree roots growing through joints, sections of pipe that have collapsed or separated, heavy grease buildup, or foreign objects lodged in the line. The footage is recorded and time-stamped so we know the precise location and depth of any damage.

After a sewer line replacement, your drains will empty quickly and quietly again, toilets will flush without hesitation, and you will not smell sewer gas inside or outside your home. Wastewater will flow freely from every fixture without backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains.

Replacement involves excavating the damaged section or, in some cases, the entire run from your house to the municipal connection. We remove the old pipe, install new PVC or cast iron depending on code, and test the line for leaks and proper slope before backfilling. The new line is built to handle your household waste without the vulnerabilities that caused the original failure.

What you should know before we inspect

Most homeowners want to understand what the inspection will show and whether the problem can be fixed without replacing the entire line.

What causes sewer lines to fail?
Tree roots are the most common cause, especially in older clay or cast iron pipes with small cracks or loose joints. Lines also fail due to ground settling, corrosion, improper installation, or damage from heavy equipment passing over the yard.
How do you know if my sewer line needs to be replaced?
We determine this based on what the camera inspection reveals. If the line has collapsed, separated, or shows extensive root intrusion in multiple areas, replacement is the only lasting solution. If the issue is a single blockage or minor crack, we may be able to clear or repair it without replacing the whole line.
How long does a sewer line replacement take?

Most replacements in Kennesaw and neighboring ciommunites take one to two days depending on the length of the line, depth of burial, and accessibility. We work efficiently to restore sewer function as quickly as possible while meeting all code requirements.

Will I be able to use my plumbing during the work?
You will not be able to use any drains while we are replacing the sewer line, as wastewater will have nowhere to go. We coordinate timing with you to minimize inconvenience and complete the work as quickly as conditions allow.
What happens if tree roots grow back into the new line?
Modern PVC sewer pipe has sealed joints that resist root intrusion far better than older clay or cast iron. If roots are still a concern, we can discuss root barriers or other preventive measures during installation.
