Sewer Line FAQs for Boston
What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless methods repair or replace a sewer line through small access points rather than digging up the entire yard, typically using pipe lining or pipe bursting techniques.
How do I know if tree roots are the problem?
A camera inspection is the most reliable way to confirm root intrusion. Recurring clogs near mature trees or along the sewer line path are a common indicator.
Is sewer line repair covered by homeowners insurance?
