Diagnose with a camera first

No one should quote a sewer repair without seeing inside the line. A camera inspection shows roots, offsets, bellies, and cracks with exact footage.

Hydro jetting clears grease and roots from an otherwise sound pipe. If the pipe is broken or separated, cleaning only buys time.

Lining or pipe bursting avoids digging up driveways and landscaping, but requires a mostly intact path. Severe collapses still need excavation.
