About sewer services

Your sewer line carries everything that leaves your house to the city main, and when it breaks, sags or fills with roots, it shows up fast: sewage odors, gurgling toilets, several drains backing up at once, or a patch of lawn that is greener than the rest. Mesquite Plumbing repairs, replaces and inspects sewer lines for homes and businesses across the Metroplex.

We start with a camera inspection so you see the problem before anyone digs, then recommend repair or replacement based on what the line actually needs.

How it works

What to expect

  1. 1

    Camera first

    A sewer camera finds the break, root intrusion or sag and how deep it is.

  2. 2

    Show you the footage

    You see what we see and hear the repair or replacement options.

  3. 3

    Repair or replace

    We fix the damaged section or install a new line to code.

  4. 4

    Verify the flow

    A final run and inspection confirm the line drains the way it should.

Questions

Sewer Services FAQs

Why does my bathroom smell like sewer?

The smell may result from bacteria growth in a bathroom drain. Cleaning drains and cleaning debris can help. It may also be due to a p-trap, which can often be resolved by running water in the tub, shower, and sink for a few moments. Persistent sewer smells might indicate a sewer backup, requiring Mesquite Plumbing’s professional sewer services. Contact us at (972) 285-5938.

Can a sewer line unclog itself?

While it’s possible, it’s not advisable to rely on it. Even if a sewer line clog clears itself, it could cause or result from damage. Always consult a licensed plumber to inspect your sewer lines to prevent potential hazards and costly damage.

What should I do when my sewer backs up?

Call Mesquite Plumbing for emergency sewer services at (972) 285-5938, follow your plumber’s instructions, wear protective gear if dealing with sewage, and avoid using plumbing fixtures until your plumber arrives.

Does home insurance cover sewer lines?

In most cases, home insurance covers sewer line damage within your property lines due to natural disasters. Damage caused by poor installation or maintenance is unlikely to be covered. Contact your insurance provider to understand your coverage and limitations fully.

Why does my house smell like sewage?

If your entire home smells like sewage, there may be a leak or backup in your sewer line. This can quickly lead to dangerous sewage leaks or costly repairs if not addressed promptly. Contact your local plumber to inspect your sewer line for potential repairs.

Does homeowners insurance cover sewer line replacement?

Coverage can vary depending on the location and cause of the damage. If the damage occurs within your property lines and results from a natural event, it may be covered. Policies vary, so the best way to determine coverage is to contact your insurance provider.

How long does it take to replace a sewer line?

The duration depends on the extent of the damage. In many cases, our licensed plumbers can complete sewer line replacement in a day. On average, it may take anywhere from one to three days.

How long do sewer lines last?

With proper maintenance, most sewer line piping lasts 50-100 years. Clay pipes typically last 50-60 years, cast iron pipes last 75-100 years, and PVC pipes last 100 years or more. However, sewer lines may need replacement sooner due to tree root intrusion, weather damage, or internal corrosion.
