Pipe and Water Line Replacement

When sewer pipes are severely damaged or beyond repair, replacement may be the most reliable option.

Our team carefully removes old or failing pipes and installs new ones designed for long-term performance. We focus on minimizing disruption while ensuring the new piping restores proper flow and protects your home. Pipe replacement helps prevent recurring issues and supports the overall health of your sewer system.

You may need to schedule a pipe replacement if:

If backups or slow drains return even after repairs, the underlying pipes may be too damaged to fix. Replacement can address the root cause and stop the cycle of repeat issues.

Older sewer pipes can deteriorate over time due to age, corrosion, or outdated materials. Replacing them helps restore reliability and prevent unexpected failures.

Cracks, breaks, or collapsed sections can disrupt flow and damage your property. Pipe replacement provides a long-term solution when repairs are no longer effective.

Problems like sewage backups, soggy areas in the yard, or foundation concerns may indicate serious pipe damage. Replacement helps protect your home and the surrounding areas from further harm.


Trenchless Pipe Lining

Trenchless pipe relining allows a homeowner to completely replace a pipe with a fraction of the disruption, mess, and expense.

Replacing a sewer line or water main in your lawn can mean digging a massive trench for access, leaving damage that can take quite a while to resolve. Because there’s less destruction and the process is faster and less labor-intensive, it’s usually beneficial in terms of cost and convenience.

New pipes offer improved flow, reduced risk of dangerous or unpleasant leaks, fewer clogs if you’re dealing with sewer pipe lining, and more. You might even see reduced pests and cleaner air in and around your home if you had minor leaks you didn’t know about in your yard.

You might need trenchless pipe lining services if you notice these problems:

  • You have issues with constant clogs and flow impediments for your sewer line and drains.
  • Your sewer line is leaking into your lawn, causing puddles, rapid growth, etc.
  • Your sewer line has been corroded by liquid plumbers or acidic water.
  • You have an old line made of worn or outdated materials that needs to be replaced.
  • You need to repair or replace any pipe in your home or lawn that isn’t easily accessed.

Trenchless pipe lining, also known as trenchless pipe relining or trenchless pipe repair, is a method of restoring old or damaged pipes without physically accessing them by digging up a trench or similarly destructive intrusions.

This can mean inserting a pipe liner that fills the interior of the existing pipe, cured-in-place pipe, and spray-in-place pipe where another pipe is created via resin or epoxy on the interior of your existing pipe, and many other methods of adding a ‘lining’ inside of your existing pipe from a single access point.

It’s a great way to restore plumbing lines, such as lining sewer lines, without the mess and fuss involved in entirely replacing a pipe buried deep in your yard.

Sewer Line Installation

Installing a new sewer line is critical for new construction, additions, or system upgrades.

GEM ensures each installation is properly planned and completed to meet your home’s specific needs. Our technicians handle the process with precision, from layout to final connection. The result is a dependable sewer system built for safe, efficient operation.

We recommend scheduling a sewer line inspection when:

New construction requires a properly designed and installed sewer line from the start. Professional installation helps ensure safe, reliable wastewater removal for years to come.

Home expansions can place new demands on your existing sewer system. Installing a new or extended sewer line helps support added fixtures and increased usage.

Some homes rely on outdated or alternative systems. Sewer line installation provides a modern, dependable connection to municipal infrastructure.

Older or undersized sewer lines may struggle to handle current household demand. A new installation helps improve performance and reduce the risk of future issues.

Sewer Line Repair

Sewer line repairs address issues such as cracks, root intrusion, or partial blockages.

Prompt repair helps restore proper flow and prevent further damage to your home and property. Our team explains the issue clearly and completes repairs with care to ensure reliable performance. Addressing problems early can help extend the life of your sewer system and reduce the risk of emergencies.

Call GEM for a sewer line repair if you notice issues like:

When multiple drains empty slowly, it can indicate a partial blockage or buildup in the sewer line. Repair can restore proper flow before the problem worsens.

Unusual noises often signal trapped air caused by cracks or obstructions in the line. Addressing the issue early helps prevent backups.

Intermittent sewer smells may be caused by small cracks or minor leaks. Repairing the damaged section can stop odors and protect indoor air quality.

Backups in basement drains or tubs can point to a developing sewer line issue. Timely repair helps resolve the problem before it leads to a full blockage or emergency.

Sewer Services FAQs

How do I know if I’m dealing with a sewer line problem?

Common signs include slow drains throughout the home, recurring backups, sewage odors, or gurgling sounds from toilets and drains. If multiple fixtures are affected at once, it’s often a sewer line issue rather than a single drain.

What’s the difference between sewer line repair and replacement?

Sewer line repair addresses localized issues like cracks, root intrusion, or partial blockages. Replacement is recommended when pipes are severely damaged, collapsed, or beyond repair, and a long-term solution is needed.

Will sewer service require digging up my yard?

That depends on the type and location of the issue. Our team evaluates your situation carefully and explains what’s required before work begins, always aiming to minimize disruption to your property.

How long does sewer service typically take?

Simple inspections or repairs can often be completed in a single visit, while larger repairs or installations may take longer. We provide clear timelines so you know what to expect.

When should I call for sewer service instead of waiting?

If you notice recurring backups, sewage odors, or water backing up into drains, it’s best to call right away. Addressing sewer issues early helps prevent damage, health concerns, and more costly repairs.
