Line locating
Find the damaged section before planning excavation.
Section replacement
Replace a failed stretch when the surrounding pipe is sound.
Full line replacement
Address widespread damage rather than patching one failure at a time.
Access planning
Account for depth, utilities, landscaping, and hardscape.
Cleanout access
Plan access for future inspection and service.

Misty at the company provided excellent customer service, and Jason was very helpful with handling the warranty exchange and very professional with executing the removal of faulty water hater and the installation of the new one. I highly recommend this plumbing company.

What a nice guy. I know nothing about plumbing, broken pibes or water lines. This Jason guy was top notch while I was stressed out & wondering what the heck was happening & looking over his shoulder. Thank you for knowing your stuff, calming me down & explaining to me how things work. I now have a plumbing company I can depend on & don't have to worry about being screwed. As long as the next guy they send for my next problem is as smart, kind & with it with their customer service skills as this guy. I am a long time forever customer. Thank you.

True Plumbing was a pleasure to work with. We were having a sump pump issue in our AirBnB rental. They were able to make it out in under and hour, throughly diagnosed, troubleshot, and wrapped up before our renters arrived. Danny did excellent, efficient work and I will happily do business with them again.

He was amazing! He did a fantastic job and was very kind and friendly as well as professional and fast. It was a tricky job, too - he had to go under the house for it.

I had a wonderful experience with Danny S from True Plumbing. Right from the start, he impressed us with his expertise, quickly diagnosing the source of our leak. He presented us with several effective options to ensure it wouldn’t recur, all while being mindful of our budget. Danny exemplifies true professionalism; he focuses on fostering long-term relationships with his clients instead of resorting to unnecessary upselling. It’s refreshing to work with someone who genuinely cares about customer satisfaction.

Danny S from True Plumbing was an absolute pleasure to work with. The second he stepped into our bathroom, he provided the knowledge and insights to why this leaked occurred, gave us options that would ensure it wouldn’t happen again and made sure it wouldn’t break the bank. The epitome of a true professional that looks for lifetime customers that enjoy working with him rather than trying to upsell or get one over on a homeowner to upcharge unnecessarily. Anytime we need anything plumbing related we will go to True Plumbing & ask specifically for Danny S.

FAQs
Main line questions
Is the main sewer line the same as the water main?
No. The sewer line carries wastewater away; the water supply line brings water into the home. This page covers main sewer line replacement. True Plumbing also provides water-line repair and replacement, listed under related services.
Does a recurring backup mean I need a new sewer line?
Not always. Cleaning may solve an obstruction in sound pipe. A camera inspection can reveal failed joints, cracks, collapse, or widespread deterioration that cleaning cannot fix.
Can you replace only part of the main line?
Yes, when the damage is limited and the remaining pipe is sound. Repeated failures or deteriorated material throughout the line can make broader replacement the better choice.
Will the whole yard need digging up?
Not necessarily. The defect, alignment, utilities, and access determine the excavation needed. Ask which limited-excavation options fit the inspected line; not every damaged pipe is suitable.
What affects the replacement price?
Length, depth, pipe condition, access, utilities, surface restoration, and permit requirements affect the scope. True Plumbing explains the work and upfront price before you approve it.
What should I do during a sewage backup?
Stop using affected fixtures, keep people away from wastewater, and call. Tell the team which fixtures back up and whether the problem has happened before.
Repeated backups?
Plan the right replacement.
Call our local team about the line, the symptoms, and any previous repairs.
