1. Camera Inspection & Exact Location
We run a high-definition sewer camera through your line, recording video and marking the exact location and depth of the damaged section from the surface.
Stop Repeat Backups
The Same Drain Keeps Backing Up? It’s Often One Bad Sewer Spot.
When the same floor drain, lower-level toilet, or basement line keeps backing up, the problem is usually deeper than a simple clog. Roots, a cracked joint, or a bellied section of pipe can trap waste and cause repeat backups in the exact same area.
Full sewer replacement isn’t always necessary. Our TruTech-trained sewer team runs a camera through your line, locates the exact trouble spot, and shows you live footage so you can see what’s really going on before you decide.
- Backups that keep returning in the same drain or bathroom
- Gurgling or slow drains on the lowest level of your home
- Soft or soggy area in the yard along the sewer path
- Previous camera inspection showing a single cracked or dipped section
Why Sewer Line Spot Repair Might Be All You Need
A targeted spot repair (patch) focuses on just the damaged portion of the pipe instead of replacing every foot from the house to the street. That can mean:
- Less digging and disruption to your yard and landscaping
- Shorter project timelines and faster cleanup
- Lower cost compared to full-line replacement
- Repairs designed around what your camera shows — not guesswork
After the repair, we run the camera again so you can see the patched section and verify that everything is flowing like it should.
Our Process
How Our Sewer Line Spot Repair (Patch) Process Works
We keep you informed every step of the way — from first camera pass to final clean-up — so you’re never left guessing what’s happening under your yard.
2. Clear Options: Patch vs Replacement
Once we know what we’re dealing with, we walk you through clear options. If damage is limited to a short area, we’ll recommend a spot repair or trenchless patch. If the rest of the pipe is failing, we’ll show you that too.
3. Targeted Repair & Camera Confirmation
Our crew exposes only the area that needs work, repairs or patches the pipe, and then re-runs the camera. You’ll see before-and-after footage so you can be confident the repair is done right.

Questions, Answered
Sewer Spot Repair FAQs
If you’ve never dealt with a sewer repair before, it can feel overwhelming. Here are answers to the most common questions homeowners ask our team.
What is sewer line spot repair (patch)?
Sewer line spot repair targets just the damaged portion of your pipe instead of replacing the entire line. We locate the issue with a camera, excavate only where needed, repair or patch the pipe, and then confirm everything is flowing properly with a second camera pass.
How do I know if I only need a patch?
After we run a camera, we’ll show you whether the damage is limited to one area or spread throughout the line. If the rest of the pipe is in good shape, a spot repair or trenchless patch can be a smart, cost-effective option. If not, we’ll explain why a larger repair or full replacement makes more sense.
Will you show me camera footage of my sewer line?
Yes. We believe in full transparency. We’ll review the live camera feed with you, point out the damaged sections, and provide recordings or still images so you have everything documented for your records or insurance.
How disruptive is the spot repair process?
We carefully plan access points to minimize digging and disruption. Our crew lays down mats where needed, protects your property, and cleans up after the job — including raking the area and hauling away debris.
Do you offer financing for sewer spot repairs?
Yes, we have financing options available for qualified homeowners, so you can get the repair done now and spread payments out over time. Ask your technician or our office team for details during your estimate.
