Sewer Services in Concord, NH
Sewer work is the most expensive guess in plumbing — so we don't guess. We put a camera down the line first, show you the footage, and only then talk about repairs.
Warning signs of a sewer line problem
- Several fixtures backing up at the same time
- Sewage odor in the yard or basement
- Gurgling toilets when the washer drains
- A patch of lawn that's suddenly lush or soggy
- Repeat main-line clogs every few months
- Slow drains on every level of the house
How camera inspection works
We feed a waterproof camera on a flexible rod through a cleanout and down the sewer line, watching a live feed the whole way. We can see roots, cracks, offsets, grease buildup, bellies where water sits, and how deep the trouble is — and we mark the location from the surface.
You see the same screen we do. That matters, because sewer repair is one of the few plumbing jobs where a homeowner has no way to verify the diagnosis. Footage beats a stranger's word every time.
Repair or full replacement?
Spot repair makes sense when one section has failed — a cracked joint, a crushed length, a root intrusion at a single point — and the rest of the pipe is in decent shape.
Full replacement is the honest answer when the line is old clay or Orangeburg, when the pipe has multiple failures, or when it's bellied along its length. Patching one spot on a pipe that's failing everywhere is money you'll spend twice.
We'll tell you which one the camera actually shows, even when the smaller job is the one you'd rather hear.
Old New Hampshire homes have opinions
A lot of homes around Concord still have laterals installed sometime during the disco era — clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg fiber pipe that was never meant to last this long. Add mature maple roots and sixty New England freeze-thaw cycles and you get exactly the sewer lines we spend our week in. It's not a sign you neglected anything; it's just the age of the pipe.
Pricing transparency
You get a written, flat-price scope after the inspection — what we're repairing, how, and what it costs. If there's a cheaper option that will genuinely hold, it's on the quote too.
Heads up: a standard $90 diagnostic and trip fee applies to all service visits. It covers travel and a full diagnosis, and you get an upfront price before any repair work starts. The fee is waived if any work is completed.
