Sewer Line Repair in Wichita, Augusta & Andover

Signs You May Need Sewer Line Repair (Not Just Cleaning)

Cleaning can clear blockages and roots, but some symptoms point to actual damage in the pipe that needs repair. Around Wichita, Augusta, Andover and El Dorado, we look for:

• Repeat backups in the same area shortly after cleaning, especially in similar weather or use patterns.
• Camera footage showing cracks, offsets or bellies where water and waste collect.
• Soft, soggy or sunken spots in the yard along the route of the sewer line.
• Visible roots growing through broken joints or breaks in clay or cast iron pipe.
• Sections of pipe holding water on camera (bellies) that repeatedly clog.

When we see these signs, we'll talk through spot repairs vs. full replacement so you can choose the right approach for your home.

How Our Sewer Line Repair Process Works

Our goal is to diagnose the line correctly before anyone starts digging. Here's how we typically handle sewer line repairs in Wichita, Augusta and Butler County:

1. Sewer Cleaning (When Needed) – if the line is actively backed up, we may start with sewer cleaning so the camera can see clearly.
2. Camera Inspection & Locating – we run an HD sewer camera through the line, record video and use a locator to mark the depth and position of any problem areas.
3. Show You the Damage – we share the footage and explain what we're seeing in simple terms: cracks, offsets, bellies, roots or collapses.
4. Recommend Spot Repair or Replacement – if the issues are limited to one or two sections, we may recommend localized sewer line repair. If the line is failing in multiple spots, we'll discuss no-dig trenchless replacement or traditional replacement.
5. Permits & Code Compliance – we pull required permits, schedule inspections and make sure all work meets local codes and city requirements.
6. Repair & Clean-Up – after the repair, we test the line thoroughly and restore the area as much as possible, explaining any recommended monitoring or future upgrades.

Trenchless vs. Traditional Sewer Line Repair

In our part of Kansas, homes in Wichita, Augusta, Andover and El Dorado have a mix of older and newer sewer materials. That's why we look at both trenchless and traditional repair methods on each job:

• Trenchless repair or replacement – great for many lines with accessible ends, enough depth and suitable surrounding utilities.
• Traditional repair – used when only a short section needs replacement, when depth or routing makes trenchless impractical, or when cities/conditions require full excavation.

We'll explain the pros, cons and costs of each option so you can choose what's best for your home, yard and budget.
