Maine’s Trusted Sewer Line Repair & Replacement Experts

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.

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.

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.

Warning signs include slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets or drains, sewage backups or foul odors, unusually lush grass patches in your yard, and standing water near the sewer line path. Contact Heritage for a professional inspection if you notice these issues.

Heritage uses video camera inspection technology to identify the exact location and nature of sewer line issues without unnecessary digging. This allows us to recommend the most effective and least invasive repair method.

Repair addresses a specific damaged section, while replacement involves removing and replacing a larger portion or the entire line. The right approach depends on the extent of damage, pipe age, and overall condition. Heritage explains your options clearly.

A sewer line replacement typically takes one to several days depending on the line length, depth, soil conditions, and any landscaping that needs to be addressed. Heritage provides a clear timeline and works to minimize disruption.
