Backups, slow fixtures, odors, or wet ground can come from an obstruction or damaged pipe. Camera evidence and locating determine whether the answer is cleaning, spot repair, section replacement, or broader work.

Pinpoint the problem before digging.
Spot repairs
Fix the failed section, not the whole line.
Line replacement
When a line is beyond a targeted repair.
Root intrusion & cleaning
Clear suitable buildup, then address the entry defect.
Cleanout installation
Easier access for future service.

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.

★★★★★
Everything about working with True Plumbing was top notch, professional, and still human and friendly. Nick came out to consult, and he was both knowledgeable and friendly. Eric showed up on time and ready to rock. He encountered and overcame some unforeseen challenges (behind our walls) without missing a beat. I was wrongly skeptical of a one man show taking on the task, but he got it done and within the time they had quoted. Add to all this, they did it for 20% less than my previous bids. I will definitely be recommending True Plumbing to others.

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?
