Q: What are common signs of sewer line problems in McKinney homes? A: Warning signs include slow drains throughout the house, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in your yard, wet spots over the sewer line, and frequent backups. Tree roots are a common cause in McKinney’s established neighborhoods with mature landscaping.
Q: How fast can you respond to sewer line emergencies in McKinney? A: We dispatch crews immediately for sewer emergencies. Most McKinney locations receive response within 1-2 hours depending on crew availability and your location. Sewer backups threatening health or property receive priority response.
Q: Do you use camera inspection for all sewer line repairs? A: We recommend camera inspection for most sewer problems. Video inspection allows us to see exactly what’s wrong—root intrusion, pipe collapse, blockages—and locate the problem precisely. This eliminates guesswork and prevents unnecessary excavation.
Q: Can you repair sewer lines without digging up my entire yard? A: In many cases, yes. After camera inspection identifies the problem location, we excavate only the damaged section. For extensive root intrusion or collapsed lines, trenchless repair methods may be possible. We assess each situation to minimize property disruption.
Q: How do you coordinate with City of McKinney for sewer repairs? A: We work with
City of McKinney utilities to coordinate main line issues, obtain necessary permits, and ensure repairs meet city codes. For private property sewer lines (from your house to the city main), we handle complete repairs.
Q: What causes sewer line problems in McKinney properties? A: Common causes include tree root intrusion (especially in established neighborhoods), shifting clay soils, aging pipe materials, improper installation in older homes, and damage from construction or landscaping. McKinney’s mature trees and expansive clay soils create unique challenges. Call us here for immediate sewer line assessment.
