Main Sewer Line Problems Are Not Something to Wait On
The main sewer line carries all of the waste from every drain in your house to the city sewer. When it is partially or fully blocked, or when it has cracked or collapsed, the effects spread throughout the entire home. Sewage backups, persistent odors, and drains that will not clear no matter what you do are all signs the main line needs attention.
Your main sewer line may be the problem if you are experiencing:
Sewage backup in a floor drain, toilet, or tub
A sewage smell inside or outside the home
A visible sewer line leak in the yard
Sewer flies or drain flies appearing throughout the house
Multiple slow drains at the same time
Gurgling from toilets when you run water elsewhere
Wet or unusually green patches in the yard over the sewer line
We handle
Sewer line backups
Sewer smell diagnosis and repair
Sewer line leak detection and repair
Sewer fly source identification
Sewer line replacement or new installation
How We Diagnose & Repair Your Main Sewer Line
-
Step 1
We Run a Camera First Before we dig, hydro jet, or recommend anything, we run a video inspection camera through the main line to see exactly what the problem is and where it is located. This prevents unnecessary excavation and makes sure the repair we recommend is the right one.
-
Step 2
We Give You a Clear Diagnosis and Price We show you what we found and explain your options. Whether it is a blockage that can be cleared or a section of pipe that needs repair or replacement, you get the full picture and the price before anything starts.
-
Step 3
We Fix It We complete the repair using the appropriate method, restore flow to your drain system, and clean up the work area.
Older neighborhoods in Tulsa present specific sewer line challenges.
Many homes in Midtown Tulsa, the areas around Riverside Drive, and East Tulsa were built when clay tile sewer lines were standard. These lines can crack, collapse, and become infiltrated by tree roots over time. A section of failed clay tile does not have to mean excavating your entire yard. In many cases we can repair or line a damaged section without major excavation. A camera inspection tells us exactly what we are dealing with before any work begins.

Main sewer line problems are particularly common in Tulsa's older residential neighborhoods. Clay tile sewer lines installed in homes built before the 1980s in areas like Midtown Tulsa, Kendall-Whittier, and East Tulsa are among the most vulnerable to root intrusion, cracking, and joint separation. The clay-heavy soil throughout the Tulsa metro area shifts seasonally with moisture changes, which puts additional stress on underground pipes. Homes in newer subdivisions in Owasso, Bixby, and Broken Arrow typically have PVC sewer lines that are more durable, but root intrusion and improper installation can still cause problems.

Common Questions
Main Sewer Line FAQ
-
A single clogged toilet or drain is usually a localized problem. When multiple drains throughout your home are slow or backing up at the same time, or when you hear gurgling from one fixture when you use another, that points to the main sewer line. A camera inspection will confirm it.
-
The most common causes are root intrusion from trees and shrubs, pipe corrosion and joint failure in older clay or cast iron lines, grease and debris buildup, and ground shifting that puts stress on the pipe. Tulsa's clay soil and older housing stock make root intrusion and clay tile failure particularly common here.
-
Not always. We run a camera first to see exactly what is damaged and where. In some cases a blockage can be cleared without any excavation. In others a section of pipe needs to be repaired or replaced, which may require targeted excavation. We will tell you exactly what is involved before any work starts.
-
Sewer flies, also called drain flies, breed in the organic material inside drain pipes and sewer lines. A sudden infestation of small flies near your drains often indicates a buildup issue or a crack in the drain or sewer line that is allowing sewage to sit in the pipe. Cleaning or repairing the line eliminates the breeding ground and resolves the infestation.
-
A simple blockage that can be cleared with a snake or hydro jetting can often be resolved in a few hours. A partial or full sewer line replacement is a larger job that typically takes one to several days depending on the extent of the damage and access.
