Sewer Services in Columbia, SC

Sewer backups, repeated drain clogs, and sewage odors can point to a problem in the main sewer line. When several drains are affected, the trouble may be underground rather than at one fixture.

Cassell Brothers provides sewer services in Columbia, SC, and surrounding Midlands communities. Our licensed technicians inspect sewer lines, clear blockages, repair damaged pipes, and replace lines that can no longer be repaired.

Signs You May Have a Sewer Line Problem

Your sewer line carries wastewater from the house to the public sewer or septic system. When that line becomes blocked or damaged, you may notice:

• Several sinks, tubs, or toilets draining slowly
• Sewage backing up through a floor drain or toilet
• Gurgling sounds when water drains
• Sewer odors inside or outside the house
• Clogs returning after the drains were cleaned
• Unusually wet ground above the sewer line

Tree roots growing into underground pipes can also cause repeated drainage problems.

Common Sewer Line Problems in Columbia Homes

Tree roots can enter sewer pipes through cracks or loose joints. As the roots grow, they catch waste and restrict the flow of water.

Older sewer lines may have corrosion, separated joints, or cracked pipe walls. Soil movement can shift buried pipes, leaving low spots where waste collects or causing sections to break.

A severely damaged pipe can collapse and stop wastewater from leaving the house.

Our Sewer Services

Sewer Camera Inspection

We use a sewer camera to look inside the line for blockages, roots, cracks, separated joints, and other visible damage. This helps us see where the pipe is blocked or damaged without digging up the yard to inspect it.

Sewer Cleaning

Grease, debris, and root growth can restrict wastewater flow. Our drain cleaning technicians use equipment suited to the blockage, clearing household drains and sewer lines.

Cleaning restores flow when the pipe is still in usable condition. Damaged sections need repair.

Sewer Line Repair

A cracked section, separated joint, or other localized damage does not always require replacing the entire sewer line.

With pipe and sewer line repair, we can replace a damaged section of underground piping or reconnect a joint that has separated.

Trenchless Sewer Repair

Some sewer lines can be repaired using methods that reduce the amount of digging needed across the yard.

Trenchless repair depends on the pipe material, condition, and type of damage. A collapsed or severely misaligned line may require excavation.

Sewer Line Replacement

When damage extends through a large section of pipe or the line has collapsed, replacement may be necessary.

Cassell Brothers provides sewer line repair and installation, replacing damaged underground piping and connecting the new line to your home's sewer system.

Sewer Cleaning vs. Sewer Repair

Cleaning removes material blocking the pipe. It does not fix cracks, separated joints, or sections that have shifted out of place.

If clogs keep returning after cleaning, a camera inspection can show if damaged pipe is allowing roots or debris to collect.

When Does a Sewer Line Need Replacement?

Severe corrosion, widespread cracks, collapsed sections, or repeated failures along the line can leave too little sound pipe for a lasting repair.

A sewer line's age alone does not determine if it needs replacement. The condition of the pipe and how far the damage extends determine what needs to be replaced.

Sewer Problems in Established Columbia Neighborhoods

Homes in older Columbia neighborhoods, including Shandon and Rosewood, may have sewer pipes that have been underground for decades.

Mature trees can send roots toward moisture in leaking pipe joints. Shifting soil can also affect buried sewer connections.

Cassell Brothers serves Columbia and nearby Midlands communities, as well as homeowners across the Augusta area.

What to Do During a Sewer Backup

If sewage is coming into your home, stop using sinks, toilets, showers, and appliances that send water into the drains.

Keep children and pets away from the wastewater. Avoid touching sewage or attempting to clear a backed-up main line yourself.

Call for professional service when wastewater enters the house.
