Our Services
What Our Drain and Sewer Repair Services Cover
Sewer repair means fixing the pipe that carries wastewater away from your home or business, whether that pipe runs to city sewer in downtown Mount Airy or out to a septic system in more rural stretches like Pine Ridge or Pinnacle. We handle everything from a single cracked fitting to a full sewer line replacement, and we start with a plumbing camera inspection so we know exactly what we're dealing with before anyone touches a shovel.
This page covers the full range of drain and sewer work we do: sewer cleaning to clear roots and buildup, clogged drain repair for stubborn blockages, and sewer line replacement when a pipe is too far gone to patch. If you already know which issue you're dealing with, our dedicated pages for sewer repair, clogged drain repair, sewer line replacement, drain and sewer cleaning, and plumbing camera inspections go into more detail on each one.
Older homes around Mount Airy and Pilot Mountain often still have clay or cast iron sewer pipe, and that material cracks, shifts, and collects roots over the decades. Rural properties out toward Ararat, Cana, and Claudville are more likely to run on septic, which changes how we diagnose a backup but doesn't change how fast we respond.
Get Started
How We Approach Every Sewer Repair Call
Every sewer or drain call starts with finding the actual problem, not guessing at it. Here's how a typical job moves from first call to finished repair.
-
Step 1: Camera Inspection and Diagnosis
We run a plumbing camera inspection down the line to see exactly where the clog, crack, or collapse is sitting, whether that's under your yard, your driveway, or the slab itself.
-
Step 2: Targeted Sewer Cleaning
If roots, grease, or buildup are the culprit, we clear the line with professional sewer cleaning equipment before deciding whether a repair is even needed.
-
Step 3: Repair or Sewer Line Replacement
Depending on what the camera shows, we either make a localized pipe repair or recommend a full sewer line replacement if the pipe has multiple failure points or significant damage.
-
Step 4: Final Testing and Cleanup
We run water through the system to confirm flow is restored, then clean up the work area so your yard or property looks the way it did before we arrived.

Signs You Need Sewer Repair or Drain Cleaning Soon
Some sewer problems announce themselves right away with a backup. Others creep up slowly until a minor clogged drain repair turns into something bigger. Watch for these signs:
- Gurgling sounds coming from toilets or drains when you run water elsewhere in the house
- Multiple slow drains at once, which usually points to the main line instead of one fixture
- A sewage smell near your yard, basement, or crawl space
- Soggy or unusually green patches in the yard above where the sewer line runs
- Water backing up into your lowest drain, like a basement floor drain or tub
- Clogs that keep returning even after you've tried clearing them yourself
If any of these sound familiar, it's worth having someone take a look before a slow drain turns into a weekend without working plumbing.

Common Questions
Sewer Repair Questions From Mt Airy Homeowners
A few things we hear often when a drain or sewer call comes in.
How do I know if I need sewer repair instead of just a drain cleaning?
If a plunger or a single cleaning clears the problem and it stays clear, a simple drain cleaning probably did the trick. If the clog comes back within days or affects multiple fixtures at once, that usually points to a problem in the sewer line itself, and we'll recommend a camera inspection before anything else.
What does a plumbing camera inspection show during a sewer repair?
A plumbing camera inspection lets us see inside your sewer line in real time, spotting cracks, root intrusion, bellies (low spots where waste collects), or full blockages. It tells us exactly where the problem is and how bad it is, so we're not digging up your yard to guess.
Can sewer cleaning fix a clogged drain, or will I need sewer line replacement?
Most clogged drain repair issues clear up with professional sewer cleaning, which removes grease, roots, and debris without touching the pipe itself. Sewer line replacement only comes into play when the camera inspection shows the pipe is cracked, collapsed, or too damaged to clean its way back to working order.
