Sewer repair
A backup does not automatically mean replacement.
-
Restore visibility
We clear the line when needed, then inspect roots, joints, deposits, and pipe condition.
-
Locate the defect
The camera and locator identify the finding, distance, and approximate depth when conditions allow.
-
Choose the repair
Material, condition, recurrence, defect length, and access determine cleaning, spot repair, or replacement.
Diagnosis
Clean or repair?
The defect, not the size of the indoor mess, sets the scope.
Obstruction or failure
Material in sound pipe may be cleanable; cracks, open joints, collapse, or dense roots need structural attention.
One defect or many
One failed section can support a spot repair; repeated or widespread failure can justify replacement.
Who owns the section
Locate the public-private boundary and confirm the serving utility before assigning responsibility.
Vancouver & Clark County
Local sewer systems
Vancouver-area properties use different sewer providers, and some use septic systems. Address, utility, cleanout, landscaping, route, and boundary all matter.

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.

I had a great experience with this plumber! He was quick to respond and more importantly, very thorough. Since I had just moved in and there was clearly evidence of prior water damage from the previous renters, I was concerned because one of my sinks I caught was leaking. But under EVERY sink the cabinets have been warped (and yes I have initial move in photos)! He took the time to check all of the appliances as all the lines were loose that he found! He made sure the water lines and connections were tight and secure. I really appreciated his attention to detail and the peace of mind it gave me knowing everything had been tightened and checked. He was professional, efficient, and clearly cared about preventing a problem before it happened. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a reliable and thorough plumber!

FAQs
Sewer service questions
How do I know whether my sewer needs cleaning or repair?
Cleaning can remove an obstruction. Dense roots, an open joint, crack, offset, collapse, or failed section can require structural work. Camera and locating evidence separate them.
What are common signs of a damaged sewer line?
Recurring whole-house backups, several slow fixtures, sewage at a low drain, persistent odor, wet ground, or repeated roots. These are clues, not a repair diagnosis.
Who is responsible for the sewer line at my property?
Responsibility depends on the utility and the defect’s location relative to the public main and private building sewer.
Do you use a camera before recommending sewer repair?
When the line is visible, yes. It may need cleaning first. Access, depth, material, recurrence, and site conditions complete the diagnosis.
Can a sewer line be repaired without digging up the entire yard?
Some defects allow spot excavation or trenchless work. Collapse, poor alignment, utilities, access limits, or several failures may require open excavation.
When is sewer replacement more appropriate than a spot repair?
When defects are widespread, roots keep returning, material is failing throughout, or a spot repair would leave near-term failures in place.
Recurring backups?
