Seeing more than one slow drain or smelling sewage outside? Call us to set up a camera inspection. Call (616) 655-4172 · Mon to Fri, 8 AM to 5 PM
A damaged sewer line rarely fixes itself. A crack or a root that starts as a slow drain can turn into a full backup. These are the signs worth acting on.
| Job | Typical time |
|---|---|
| Camera inspection | About 30 to 60 minutesWe show you the footage afterwards. |
| Spot repair | Often a dayA single crack or a short damaged section. |
| Full replacement | Typically one to three daysDepends on line length and method. |
| Cleanup and restoration | Same visit or nextWork area returned close to how we found it. |
Sewer work varies more than most plumbing jobs. The length of the line, its depth and the extent of the damage all matter. We give you a clear estimate after the camera inspection and before any work begins.
| Factor | How it affects the price |
|---|---|
| Line length | A longer run from house to street costs more to repair or replace. |
| Depth | Deeper lines mean more digging or a bigger setup for trenchless work. |
| Extent of damage | One crack costs less than a line with several problem areas. |
| Method | Trenchless work protects the yard but may cost differently than digging. |
| Surface restoration | Landscaping, driveways and walkways add to the finished price. |
We run a camera through the line to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the problem.
We explain what we found and walk you through repair or replacement, including trenchless options if they apply.
Our crew completes the work using the method that fits your property and your budget.
We restore the work area as close to its original condition as possible and confirm the line is flowing before we leave.

Older neighborhoods in Grand Rapids and the first-ring cities often have clay or cast iron sewer lines. Those materials crack, shift and let roots in over time. Newer subdivisions use plastic pipe, but settling after construction can still cause low spots.
Many rural properties around Cedar Springs, Sparta and Byron Center use septic systems instead of a municipal sewer. Tell us how your home is connected when you call, so we send the right equipment.
A camera inspection is the only reliable way to know. A single crack or a small root intrusion can often be repaired. A line with several problem areas, heavy corrosion or a collapsed section usually needs replacing. We show you the footage before you decide.
Yes, when your property and the old line allow it. Trenchless methods such as pipe bursting or lining pull a new pipe through the path of the old one with minimal digging. We tell you during the inspection whether your property is a good candidate.
Traditional replacement needs digging along the line. Trenchless replacement avoids most of that digging and usually spares driveways, patios and landscaping. We tell you which option fits your property during the inspection, before any work starts. If trenchless is not possible, we explain what will be dug up and how we restore it.
A straightforward repair can often be finished in a day. A full replacement typically takes one to three days, depending on the length of the line and the method used. Weather and ground conditions can change that, so we give you a realistic window.
Cost depends on the length of the line, its depth, whether trenchless methods are possible and how much damage there is. We give a clear estimate after the camera inspection and before any work begins, so you can compare repair against replacement.
Tree roots, aging clay or cast iron pipe, ground movement and heavy loads all play a part. Roots find small cracks and grow inside. Over time the pipe breaks down or collapses. A camera shows which cause applies to your line.
We feed a small waterproof camera through your line and watch the pipe on a screen. It shows cracks, roots, low spots and breaks. That means we recommend work based on what is there, not on a guess, and you can see it too.
Usually the homeowner owns the line from the house to the connection at the street or main, though the exact point varies by municipality. Check with your city or township before work starts, since some require a permit for sewer work.
