Sewer & Septic Line Repair in Yakima, WA

Signs of a main line problem

Gurgling toilets, water rising in the shower when the washer drains, sewage smells near the floor drain or soggy ground over the line in the yard. When several fixtures misbehave at once, the issue is almost always in the main line rather than one drain.

Inspect before you dig

A camera run down the cleanout shows exactly where the trouble is and what kind it is: roots, a sag that holds water, an offset joint or a collapsed section. That lets the plumber suggest a spot repair instead of replacing the whole line.

Repair choices

Depending on the damage, a line can be cleared and monitored, repaired at one point, lined from inside, or replaced. Each suits different conditions. Ask what the camera showed and why the plumber recommends one choice over another.

Homes on septic

If your home drains to a septic tank, slow drains everywhere may mean the tank is due for pumping or the outlet is blocked. A plumber can clear and repair the line from the house to the tank; tank pumping and drainfield work are often done by a septic specialist.

Keeping lines healthy

Only flush toilet paper. Keep grease out of the kitchen sink, and plant new trees well away from the sewer line. If you don't know where the line runs, a plumber can locate it during an inspection.

Booking help
