Signs of a Sewer Line Problem
A main line problem often shows up in more than one fixture, though each of these signs can have other causes.
Several Slow Drains at Once
Sinks, tubs, and toilets in different rooms drain slowly at the same time.
Backups in Low Fixtures
Water comes up in a tub or shower when a toilet is flushed or the washer drains.
Persistent Sewer Odors
A sewer smell inside or outside the building does not go away.
Wet or Sunken Spots Outside
The ground stays soggy or settles along the path of the line.
These signs can come from roots, cracks, a sagging section of pipe, heavy buildup, or a broken line. On a property with a septic system, they can also come from the septic system, and we do not service septic tanks.
If sewage is backing up into the building, avoid using sinks, toilets, and showers, and call (954) 748-9271. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, and after hours we can send a plumber out that night.
Sewer Line Repair or Replacement?
We look at the sewer line, explain whether repairing one section or replacing the line makes more sense, and give you a written price before any work starts. That choice can depend on how much of the line is damaged, where the damage is, what the pipe is made of, and whether there is more than one problem area.
Our sewer repairs use conventional methods, which means digging down to reach the damaged pipe. Depending on where the line runs, that may mean digging in the yard or opening part of a concrete floor. We do not offer trenchless sewer repair.
If the line is in good shape but full of buildup, hydro jetting may be an option instead of a repair.

Older Sewer Lines in Davie
About 43 percent of the housing units in Davie were built from 1970 to 1989, and homes here are generally built on concrete slabs, so drain lines run under the floor. Older slab homes may have cast iron drain lines, which can build up scale, corrode, or crack over time.
Older homes may have other pipe materials too, and the condition of a line can vary a lot from one property to the next. A camera inspection can help show what the pipe is made of and where any damage is.
Sewer Repair Permits & Warranty
Plumbing permits for this work are issued by the Town of Davie Building Division, and we pull permits where they are required. Our work comes with a 1-year warranty on parts and a 1-year warranty on labor. The warranty does not cover stoppages or clogs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer trenchless sewer repair?
No.
We do conventional sewer repair and replacement, which means digging down to reach the damaged section of pipe.
A camera inspection can help show where the damage is before any digging starts.
How much does the sewer line repair cost?
The cost depends on how much of the line needs work, how deep it is, where it runs, whether a permit is required, and what has to be dug up or opened to reach it.
Estimates are free, and you get a written price before any work starts.
Do you work on septic systems?
No. We repair and replace drain and sewer lines, but we do not service septic tanks or other parts of a septic system.
Some properties use septic and others are on public sewer, so it helps to know which one the property has before you call.
What causes sewer line damage?
Sewer lines can be damaged by tree roots growing into joints, ground settling, heavy buildup, and age.
In older homes, cast iron lines may corrode or crack over time.
A camera inspection can help show what is causing the problem before a repair is planned.
