Sewer line repair in Tega Cay usually means fixing the private lateral from the house to the public main. About 12% of Tega Cay homes date from 1960 to 1979, the older lake houses, and elevation changes mean some homes rely on sewage ejector or grinder pumps. When a lateral cracks, sags or fills with roots, the symptoms show up inside first: repeat backups at the lowest drain, gurgling toilets, or a sewage smell.
Is it the sewer line: sewer line repair in Tega Cay?
How do I know the problem is the main sewer line?
Several fixtures slow at once, backups at the lowest drain, and water coming up in a tub when the toilet flushes all point to the main line rather than one drain.
Why does it keep backing up after cleaning?
Roots grow into clay and cast iron pipe at the joints and regrow after cleaning. A camera inspection shows where a repair is needed.
