Collapsed Sewer Line Repair in Marietta is what we do every day. If your sewer line has caved in, you're likely dealing with sewage backups, soggy spots in the yard, or slow drains that just won't clear.

We serve homeowners and businesses across Marietta and surrounding areas, with same-day emergency service available.

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.

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.

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.
