About this service
What Collapsed Sewer Line Repair in Marietta Involves
Collapsed Sewer Line Repair in Marietta is the process of excavating or lining a failed section of underground sewer pipe that has caved in, cracked, or separated. When a pipe collapses, the ground above it can sink, waste can't flow to the city main, and sewage backs up into your home. We start with a sewer camera inspection to see the exact break, then use trenchless methods like pipe bursting or CIPP lining to restore the line without tearing up your whole yard. In severe cases, we replace the damaged section with new PVC or HDPE pipe.
In Marietta, many homes were built before 1980 and still have clay tile sewer pipe or Orangeburg pipe that's prone to collapse. Tree roots from mature oaks and pines invade joints, and heavy Georgia clay soil shifts with wet and dry seasons, putting pressure on aging pipes. If you notice recurring clogs, gurgling toilets, or sewage odors, you may need collapsed sewer pipe repair Marietta GA. We've handled hundreds of these jobs in neighborhoods like Historic Marietta and West Marietta, and we know the local soil and code requirements.

What's included
What Our Collapsed Sewer Line Repair Includes
Every collapsed sewer line repair is different, but our service always includes a thorough inspection, a clear repair plan, and a quality fix. Here's what you can expect.
Written Estimate
After the inspection, we give you a written estimate that covers labor, materials, permits, and cleanup. No hidden fees. You'll know the total cost before we start.
Trenchless Repair
We use pipe bursting or CIPP lining to repair the collapsed section. Both methods require minimal digging. We protect your landscaping and restore the surface when we're done.
Permits and Inspections
We pull the required local Georgia plumbing permit and schedule any necessary inspections. You don't have to deal with the paperwork. We make sure the work meets code.
Post-Repair Testing
After the repair, we run the camera again and flow-test the line to confirm proper function. We also clean up the site and haul away debris. You get a written warranty.
How it works
Our Collapsed Sewer Line Repair Process
When you call, we ask a few quick questions to understand your situation. If you have raw sewage backing up, we treat it as an emergency and dispatch a truck immediately. Otherwise, we schedule a convenient time, usually within 24 hours. You'll get a call or text when the technician is on the way.
Our technician arrives with a RIDGID sewer camera and a Spartan Tool push rod camera. We locate the cleanout, insert the camera, and record the inside of your pipe. You'll see the collapse on the monitor. We note the depth, the pipe material, and the exact location, then mark the ground above with paint or flags.
Based on the camera footage, we recommend the best repair method. For a simple break, spot repair might work. For a long collapsed section, pipe bursting or CIPP lining is better. We explain the pros and cons, give you a written price, and answer your questions. You decide, and we get to work.
Most collapsed lines are fixed with trenchless methods. We dig small access pits at each end of the damaged section. For pipe bursting, we pull a bursting head through the old pipe while pulling new HDPE pipe behind it. For CIPP lining, we invert a resin-saturated liner into the pipe and cure it with heat or UV light. Both methods restore the line without a long trench.
After the repair, we flush the line and run the camera through again to confirm there are no obstructions or defects. We test with water to make sure it flows freely to the city main. Then we backfill the access pits, compact the soil, and restore the surface. We leave your yard clean and your sewer working like new.

Tools & methods
Tools and Methods We Use
RIDGID Sewer Camera
We use RIDGID cameras to inspect the inside of your sewer line. They provide clear footage of the collapse, roots, and pipe condition.
Spartan Tool Push Rod Camera
For smaller lines, we use Spartan Tool push rod cameras. They're flexible and can navigate bends to reach the damage.
HammerHead Trenchless Pipe Bursting Machine
This machine pulls a bursting head through the old pipe, breaking it outward while pulling new HDPE pipe behind it. It's ideal for collapsed clay and cast iron.
Perma-Liner CIPP Liner Inversion Drum
We use this to invert resin-saturated liners into the pipe. Once cured, the liner creates a new, smooth pipe inside the old one.
Sewer Line Locator Transmitter
This tool helps us trace the path of the sewer line and determine its depth. It ensures we dig in the right spot and avoid utilities.
Hydro Jetter
We use high-pressure hydro jetters to clean the line before and after repair. They remove grease, roots, and debris.

Most collapsed sewer line repairs in Marietta cost between $3,500 and $12,000.

The most common causes in Marietta are aging clay tile or Orangeburg pipe, tree root intrusion, and soil movement from Georgia's clay. Older pipes crack and shift, roots grow into the joints, and heavy rain or drought can cause the ground to move and crush the pipe. Cast iron pipes also corrode over time. We see these issues in neighborhoods like Historic Marietta and West Marietta.
Yes, in many cases. Trenchless methods like pipe bursting and CIPP lining allow us to repair a collapsed sewer line with minimal digging. We dig small access pits at each end, but we don't need a continuous trench. This saves your lawn and driveway. However, if the collapse is severe or the pipe is completely crushed, we may need to excavate more. We'll let you know after the camera inspection.
