Checking Sewer Line Issues with Video Camera Inspection
Before a technician can determine what’s wrong with your sewer line, they need to inspect where the issue begins. Our team is trained to use video camera technology to inspect your lines from the inside to see where the problem is.
Using a pinhole camera attached to a lead, a video camera inspection allows us to determine where clogs, leaks, or deterioration is taking place, giving us the chance to create an action plan. Once we know the problem, we’ll advise you on whether it’s time to repair or replace your sewer line, and give you all the options available.

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement in Maine
When your sewer line breaks, most companies have to dig into your lawn or landscaping to make the fix. We are Southern Maine’s experts in trenchless sewer repair, allowing us to make many fixes without destroying your yard. Heritage Home Service utilizes pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP) methods to keep your sewer lines working and your home in great condition.
-
Pipe Bursting
While pipe bursting is often a bad thing for your home, the pipe bursting repair method is an easy way to fix sewer line problems. To make repairs, our technicians use a hydraulic or pneumatic bursting head in the pipe to bust the damaged area. At the same time, we install the new pipe in place. Using this method, we can make the repair faster and with less damage, usually at a lower price than traditional replacement.
-
Traditional Sewer Line Replacement
If pipe bursting isn’t an option, Heritage can also complete a traditional sewer line replacement for your Southern Maine Home. A traditional replacement requires plumbers to dig the pipe out of the ground, remove the damaged portions, and make repairs or install replacements.
While a traditional sewer line replacement will force technicians to dig into your yard, it allows Heritage to complete the work in the most comprehensive way possible. We’ll not only be able to ensure the repairs and replacements are done thoroughly, but we’ll also be able to evaluate the rest of the line for any bigger issues that may arise down the line.

Does My Home’s Sewer Line Need to Be Replaced?
There are several telltale signs that your sewer line may need to be repaired or replaced. If you notice any of these issues, it might be time to call Heritage for a sewer line inspection:
- Frequent clogs
- Mold and mildew growth
- Pest infestation
- Puddles in your yard
- Random lush patches of grass
- Indentations in your lawn
- Sewage backups
- Sewage smell in and around your home
- Cracks in your home’s foundation
- Slow moving drains
Other issues could also cause your sewer line to become weak over time. Your home or ground settling as the result of small earthquakes can add stress to your pipes, along with natural wear from regular usage. If you are experiencing any of the above issues, call Heritage to schedule an evaluation of your sewer line, and get the best advice on what to do next. Our team has experience repairing and replacing cracked, corroded, collapsed, offset, leaking, and overgrown sewer lines.

What Our Customers Are Saying
Tyler and Kyle got my furnace up and running quickly and identified some problems that would’ve been catastrophic. I’m very happy with his work and highly recommend this company

Bruce Gard
Kyle did a wonderful job fixing our boiler. The part he replaced wasn’t what was causing the issue, but that wasn’t his fault. Heritage came out the following day to correct the issue and their technicians were very respectful of our home and anxious dog. That is why we keep coming back to them for all of our needs.

Another stellar experience with heritage Home services for my annual HVAC heating system checkup. Not only was the technician on time and personable, but he clearly had a high degree of knowledge and skill. He pointed out some things that needed attention which I appreciated and scheduled. Every interaction I have had with Heritage has been outstanding. I feel as if my home is in good hands.

Ann Collins
Brandon was kind and respectful. Although the problem turned out to be a water meter issue that he couldn’t fix, I truly appreciate him pointing me in the right direction, especially since I’m not handy. I hadn’t found a plumber I felt I could rely on, but after this experience, I’ll definitely be calling Heritage Home Service for future plumbing needs!

Anthony was terrific! He moved a light fixture/fan and fixed several other issues that needed attending to. He also checked out the electrical panel for me. I now feel safe in this house that I bought 2 months ago. I only wish I had called Heritage sooner.

They have humans that talk to you! Didn’t have to wait for an appointment. Came next day. Showed up on time. Did the work in a the time frame and at the price they said it would. Cleaned up nice after. Would not have known they were there except the plumbing problems are gone. The plumber Dakota was a good guy. Didn’t stop until the work was done. I got what I paid for with people that were genuinely glad to have my business. Well done.
