About this service
Sewer Line Repair vs. Replacement
A single cracked joint or a root-damaged section can often be repaired on its own. When the line is collapsed, badly corroded or damaged along its length, replacing it is usually the lasting fix. A camera inspection shows which it is.
Many Boston sewer lines are old cast iron or clay, and tree roots are a common cause of damage in both. Sewer work can also involve the city connection and permits, which the plumber can explain for your address.
