Sewer Repair in San Antonio, TX
A damaged sewer line only gets worse. We find the break on camera, lay out your options, and repair the bad stretch without tearing up the whole yard.
Why this happens
The causes are predictable. Clay pipe and cast iron crack as they age. Roots wedge into joints and pry them open. Moving soil leaves dips that hold standing waste. Shifting earth under a slab can snap the drain below the house. You notice recurring backups, a sewer smell outside, wet patches in the grass, or a line that clogs again a few weeks after cleaning. The camera finds the spot. How deep it is, where it sits and the shape of the remaining pipe decide the repair.

Sewer Repair near Alamo Ranch and Westover Hills
Our far west side clay soaks up rain, swells, then shrinks hard in a drought, and buried sewer pipe rides along. Even PVC can sag after a few hot, dry summers. If the break is under your slab, tunneling or rerouting may beat cutting through the floor. Whether you need a city permit or fall under Bexar County depends on your address, and we handle that piece.
Sewer Repair FAQ
Does a sewer repair mean a torn-up yard?
Not usually. The camera tells us exactly where to dig, so the hole stays small.
Can I just keep cutting the roots?
You can, but they will keep coming back through the broken joint. Repairing it ends the cycle.
What if the damage sits beneath the foundation?
Tunneling, rerouting or a targeted opening. We recommend the least disruptive one that will last.
