What sewer line repair involves
Sewer line repair fixes a damaged section of the pipe that carries wastewater from your house to the city sewer. Lines break from tree roots, ground movement in North Texas clay, age, corrosion in older cast iron and clay pipe, and sags that let waste settle.
Warning signs include sewage odors inside or outside, gurgling toilets, several drains backing up at once, sewage in the lowest tub or shower, and soggy or extra-green patches in the yard. A backed-up sewer is a health hazard, so dispatch sends a plumber 24/7.
Mesquite Plumbing starts every sewer repair with a camera inspection, shows you the problem, and repairs the damaged section when the rest of the line is sound. If the inspection shows the line is failing along its length, we explain replacement instead.
If sewage is coming up into a tub or shower, stop using water in the house, keep people and pets away from it, and call dispatch right away.

Questions
Sewer Line Repair 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.
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.
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.
