What we find, by the age of your house
Orangeburg or early ABS
Orangeburg in particular deforms into an oval and eventually collapses.
PVC
Mostly fails from bad bedding, a belly where the trench settled, or something crushing it.
Oklahoma's expansive clay soil swells and shrinks between wet and dry seasons. That movement is what opens joints and creates bellies.
Trenchless: lining or bursting
Replaces the line without digging a trench the length of the yard.
- Your lawn, driveway and landscaping stay put
- Faster, with far less restoration afterwards
Open-cut: the honest answer when
The camera tells us which applies. We decide after the footage, not before.
- The line has collapsed flat
- A severe belly needs re-grading
- It runs under something that has to come up anyway
Signs you are heading for a sewer repair
- Main line blockages that keep getting closer together
- Sewage smell in the yard, or an unexplained lush green patch over the line
- Several fixtures backing up at once
- A depression forming in the lawn along the line run
An annual clean-out is reasonable for roots at one joint. It stops being reasonable when you are calling three times a year.

Do I really need a camera inspection?
Yes, on any main line job. A blockage, root intrusion, a belly, a crushed section and a full collapse all look identical from inside the house and cost wildly different amounts to fix. You should see the footage before you spend money.
Can you repair a sewer line without digging up my yard?
Often. Pipe lining and pipe bursting replace the line without a full trench. It does not work if the pipe has collapsed flat, has a severe belly needing re-grading, or runs under something that has to come up regardless. The camera tells us which applies.
Why do sewer lines fail in Edmond?
Older central Edmond has clay tile with mortared joints that roots get into. The 1970s to 90s often has Orangeburg, which deforms and collapses. And Oklahoma expansive clay soil moves between wet and dry seasons, which opens joints and creates bellies.
How do I know it is the sewer and not a single drain?
Multiple fixtures backing up at once, a gurgle in the tub when the toilet flushes, sewage smell in the yard, or a lush green patch over the line run. A single slow sink is almost never the main line.
