Professional Sewer Line Repair for Chattanooga Homeowners
​
When your sewer line is damaged or clogged, it can cause backups, slow drains, bad odors, or even sewage coming up into your home. At Cutner Plumbing, we provide expert sewer line repair and replacement using proper diagnostics and safe, effective repair methods. Whether the issue is roots, collapsed pipes, or buildup deep in the line, we locate the problem and fix it the right way — with clear communication and upfront pricing.
​
Signs You May Need Sewer Line Repair
• Multiple drains in the home backing up
• Gurgling or bubbling toilets
• Sewage odors inside or around your home
• Slow drainage throughout the house
• Water pooling in the yard
• Wet, sunken, or unusually green patches in the lawn
• Backups when using other fixtures (ex: flushing toilet makes tub back up)
If you’re noticing these issues, the main sewer line may be compromised and needs professional attention quickly.
Our Sewer Line Repair Services
​
✔ Sewer Line Diagnostics
We start with proper evaluation — using tools and, when needed, a sewer camera inspection — to identify the exact problem before any digging or repairs begin. In some cases, our drain cleaning services may adequately solve the issue.
✔ Spot Repairs
If only a small section of your sewer line is damaged, we can repair that specific area without replacing the entire line.
✔ Full Sewer Line Replacement
For severely damaged, collapsed, or outdated lines, we can replace the full sewer line to restore safe, reliable flow for your home.
✔ Root Removal & Clog Clearing
Tree roots are a common cause of sewer line damage. We can clear roots and blockages and assess whether the pipe needs repair or replacement.
✔ Sewer Line Cleanouts
We install or access cleanouts to make future maintenance and diagnostics easier, faster, and less invasive.
Common Causes of Sewer Line Problems
• Tree root intrusion
• Cast iron or clay pipe deterioration
• Pipe collapse or shifting soil

Frequently Asked Questions
​
How do I know if my sewer line is broken?
Multiple slow drains, sewage odors, or backups in more than one fixture strongly indicate a sewer line problem.
​
Do you use sewer cameras?
Yes — we offer sewer line camera inspections to pinpoint the exact issue before performing any repairs.
​
Can you repair just part of a sewer line?
Yes. If the damage is limited to one section, a spot repair may be all that’s needed.
​
How long does a sewer line repair take?
Most spot repairs take 1 day, and full replacements generally take 1–2 days depending on the layout of your property.
