Your home’s sewer line does a lot of dirty work behind the scenes — moving wastewater from every toilet, sink, tub, and shower safely out to the city’s sewer system. When something goes wrong with that line, you need fast, expert service you can trust. That’s where Matthew & Sons Plumbing comes in. We offer comprehensive sewer line services throughout Lafayette and the surrounding area. Whether you're dealing with recurring backups or planning a full system upgrade, our team is here with fast response times, honest recommendations, and workmanship that stands the test of time.
Sewer Line Repair & Replacement
Not every sewer line issue needs a full replacement, but when the damage is significant or recurring, our licensed plumbers will help you weigh your options and choose the right solution for your home and budget. We use modern techniques and high-quality materials to ensure your new sewer line lasts for decades. We’re also careful to minimize disruption to your property with efficient, clean job sites and excellent communication every step of the way.
Signs You Might Need Sewer Line Repair or Replacement:
Frequent backups or slow drains across your home.
Soggy patches or unusual smells in your yard.
Sewage coming up through floor drains or tubs.
Aging or outdated piping materials (like clay or cast iron).
Sewer Line Camera Inspections
Before we start digging or quoting repairs, we want to see exactly what’s going on inside your sewer line. That’s why we offer state-of-the-art sewer line camera inspections — a no-guess, no-mess way to inspect your plumbing from the inside out.
Our waterproof cameras are inserted directly into your sewer line through an existing cleanout. As the camera travels through your pipes, we can view live footage and identify exactly where the issue is occurring.
Why Get a Camera Inspection?
Camera inspections are ideal for homeowners dealing with persistent plumbing issues, buying a new home, or simply wanting peace of mind. With this technology, we can diagnose problems quickly and show you the proof before we recommend any work.
Is Your Sewer Line Clogged? Here's How You Can Tell
Your plumbing system is a lot more connected than you might think. Every sink, tub, and toilet in your home leads to one main line — your sewer line — and when it’s blocked, the entire system feels it. A clogged sewer line isn’t just a small inconvenience; it can put your whole home at risk of major plumbing issues.
What Causes Sewer Line Clogs?
Damaged Pipes
When sewer pipes crack, break, or collapse, the wastewater has nowhere to go. This can cause immediate and repeated backups inside your home.
Sewer Line Bellies
Over time, the ground under your home can shift, causing sections of the sewer line to sag. These "bellies" create a trap where waste collects and blocks the flow.
Tree Roots
In Lafayette’s warmer climate, tree roots are always looking for a water source — and your sewer line is a perfect target. Once inside, roots can grow thick and completely clog or break the pipe.
Flushing the Wrong Items
Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Things like wipes, diapers, feminine products, and even "flushable" wipes can quickly jam up your sewer line.
Grease and Oil Buildup
Pouring grease down your sink might seem harmless when it’s hot, but once it cools, it hardens and sticks inside your pipes — eventually causing a major clog.
Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
- Slow-draining sinks, tubs, and showers
- Frequent toilet backups
- Gurgling sounds coming from your drains
- Bad odors coming from your plumbing
Why Prompt Sewer Line Service Matters
When it comes to your sewer line, delaying service can lead to serious damage, both inside and outside your home. Even a partial clog can put pressure on your system, increase the risk of backups, and allow wastewater to leak into your yard or foundation. Sewer line issues also tend to escalate quickly, so what starts as a slow drain can turn into a costly cleanup if left unresolved.
