What we run into in Rackerby
- Tree roots. Roots are the most common thing the camera finds here. Cutting them buys time; lining the pipe takes away the joints they get in through.
- Newer plastic lines. Plastic sewer lines laid in loose backfill can drift out of grade over the years, leaving low spots where waste collects.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Rackerby
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Rackerby, CA usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
Root intrusion at the joints
Cutting roots clears the pipe for a while; a liner removes the joints they get through, so they stay out.
Breaks and shifted joints
Cracks, holes and joints that have slipped out of line leak and snag waste. Lining covers them with new pipe.
Corroded or collapsing pipe
Old pipe that is scaling, flaking or losing its round shape is relined if it still holds its form, or replaced by bursting.
Toilets gurgle or bubble
Air pushed back through the trap when other fixtures drain means the line is partly blocked downstream.
Backup in the lowest drain
Sewage rising in a floor drain, shower or basement fixture is the line telling you it cannot carry the flow.
Sewer smell outside
A smell near the cleanout or over the yard can mean a cracked pipe venting gas into the soil.
Can't tell which one you have? Describe what the drains are doing, and the likely cause comes back on the call.
Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Rackerby
If the old pipe is intact enough for a liner to follow, lining is usually the least disruptive fix. Where it is crushed, Orangeburg or badly out of round, pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE line through the same route.
Still unsure which way your line will go? Call (833) 529-2616 with the age of the house and what the drains are doing. You will hear what a camera inspection is likely to show before anyone comes out.
