Sewer Line Replacement
Replace a line that is beyond repair, from the house to the city main, with a new pipe.
Learn moreWhat Is a Collapsed Sewer Line?
A collapsed sewer line is a section of pipe that has caved in. Wastewater cannot pass it, so drainage stops and sewage backs up into the home.
Orangeburg pipe from the 1960s to 1985 is a common cause in Puyallup. It softens with age and flattens under the weight of the soil above it.
Old clay and cast iron pipe can collapse too, after years of soil movement and root pressure. A camera inspection shows the collapsed section and where it sits.
Quick Answer
In short: a collapsed line stops all drainage and needs replacing. Lining and bursting cannot fix a pipe that has caved in.

Camera Location of the Collapse
The camera finds the collapsed section and shows where it sits. That decides where digging starts, so the yard is not opened in the wrong place.
Collapsed Section Replacement
The collapsed section is dug out and replaced with new pipe. The pro checks the rest of the line on camera before finishing, so no second failure is missed.
Full Line Replacement After Collapse
The whole line is replaced when the camera shows failure along most of its length. This is the fix for Orangeburg pipe and for clay pipe that has broken in several places.
