Our approach
How we handle it
- 01
Locate the problem section
Camera inspection of the sewer line, where available, shows breaks, bellies and root intrusion. For water lines, pressure and flow testing help pin down the failing run.
- 02
Know who owns what
On municipal systems, responsibility usually splits at the meter or the property-line cleanout. We help you figure out whether the problem is on your side before you pay for anything.
- 03
Repair or replace the run
Spot repairs make sense for a single failed joint. Long runs of deteriorated pipe often call for replacement. Trenchless methods may be an option for some jobs; ask when you call so we can confirm scope.
Local context
Sewer & Water Lines in the Triangle

Sewer & Water Lines questions
Who is responsible for the sewer line, me or the town?
Typically the homeowner is responsible from the house to the public connection, and the utility is responsible for the main. Exact rules vary by town and utility, so check with your provider; we can help you identify where the problem sits.
Can you work on well and septic homes?
We work on the plumbing inside the house and the lines that connect it. Well pump and septic tank service are specialized trades; call and we will tell you what we can handle and when to bring in a specialist.
Why is my water pressure suddenly low everywhere?
A main line leak, a failing pressure reducing valve, a partly closed main valve or a well system issue can all cause it. If one fixture is low, it is more likely an aerator or cartridge.
