Sewer Line Repair & Replacement

Certified Services offers 24/7 emergency sewer repair service.

As soon as you call us, we’ll start working with you to find the best solution to your sewer line problem.

Before we start any sewer repair project, we like to complete a full inspection so we know exactly what the problem is and where it is located. We can then advise whether sewer line cleaning, repair or replacement is in your best interest.

While we almost always recommend one of our trenchless methods to save you time and money, sometimes traditional sewer repair or replacement is the only option.

Sewer Line Repair Options

Traditional Traditional sewer line repair or replacement requires digging a trench alongside the existing line to gain access. Once the pipe is repaired or replaced with a new one, we fill in the trench with the same soil that was removed.

Trenchless
Trenchless sewer line repairs allow us to avoid digging a trench. Instead, we use one or two small access points to reline your existing pipe, creating a “pipe within a pipe,” or to pull a replacement pipe through the existing sewer line.

Because the costs and conditions of available sewer line repair methods for your unique situation may vary greatly, it’s best to contact a plumbing professional who can provide ALL services and walk you through a discussion of your options.

Water Line Repair & Replacement

Certified Services trenchless services allow us to repair your main water line with minimal effects on your home or yard. Most likely, the first thing you noticed was a large pool of water in your yard. Other first signs of a main water line leaking include the sound of running water, or humming in your pipes. We start by conducting a video pipe inspection to find the exact location of the problem. One of the most common places to check for leaks is in the main service line between your water meter and home shutoff valve. If the leak is coming from your service line, then you have to narrow the problem down further. The two most common places for leaks in service lines are near the shutoff valve or at the fittings, or joints.

main water line

Water gets to your home by traveling through the city’s water main, past the water meter, through your main service line to your home’s shutoff valve.

Frozen Pipe Repair

The extreme cold combined with the Cleveland area wind chill puts many Northeastern Ohio homes at risk for frozen pipes. While the temperature at which your pipes will freeze depends on many factors – such as location, insulation and age – most pipes will freeze between 32 and 20 degrees Fahrenheit.

When water in the pipe line turns to ice, it expands and blocks the line, or worse bursts the line. Even the tiniest of cracks from a frozen pipe can lead to large leaks within your home.

Take these four actions immediately to avoid burst frozen pipes:

  1. Shut off the water main to reduce pressure on pipes and to minimize flooding in the case that the pipe does burst.
  2. Open, or turn on, several faucets throughout the house to remove pressure from the water lines.
  3. Make sure the heat in your home is set to at least 55 degrees, if not higher. Search around your home to see if you can identify the frozen pipe(s). Depending on the location of the pipe(s) and your level of expertise, you can attempt to start thawing the pipe yourself by placing a space heater near it or by using a hair dryer.
  4. Call a plumber to help you correctly diagnose and solve the problem.

It is possible for your pipes to freeze and burst without causing any immediate water damage because the frozen water acts as a plug. However, once the pipe starts to thaw, the water could come rushing out.

That’s why the minute you suspect you may have frozen pipes, you should call a plumber to discuss your problem. Below is just a short list of signs you may have a frozen pipe:

  • Decrease in water pressure
  • Lack of running water or very little running water
  • Frost on pipes
