When a sewer or water line is broken, collapsed or too far gone to repair from the inside, the pipe has to be dug up and replaced. Acme Sewer & Drain Cleaning excavates and replaces sewer and water lines for homes and commercial properties across Salt Lake County and the Wasatch Front.
We start with a camera inspection and line locating to find the exact problem and how deep the pipe is, then dig only where we need to. Call (801) 930-8000.
Sewer pipe repair. Not every damaged sewer line has to be dug up. When the pipe is cracked, offset or root-damaged but still in place, we can often repair that section from the inside with a resin-coated fiberglass liner cured with UV light. There is no trench across your lawn, driveway or floor. See how our trenchless Sewer Pipe Repair works.
Water lines. Through our trenchless partner, we can also replace a water service line without trenching the whole yard. A boring tool is driven underground from one pit to another and pulls the new line through, so your lawn, landscaping and driveway stay in place.
If the pipe has collapsed or is too far gone for a liner, we dig and replace it. The camera inspection tells us which one your line needs.
Sometimes only a small area of the line has failed. When that is the case, we dig only that section and repair it, instead of replacing the whole line. The camera inspection shows how far the damage goes, so you only pay for the repair your line needs.
When the pipe is already exposed, it is the easiest and cheapest time to add a cleanout. A cleanout is a capped access point on the sewer line. It lets us run a drain machine, hydro jetter or camera straight into the line, without pulling a toilet or working through the roof.
A double cleanout gives access in both directions, toward the house and toward the street, so the line can be cleaned and inspected both ways. Future drain cleaning is faster and easier, and it can cost less.
The photos below show three cleanouts installed at a commercial location with a grinder pump.
Cost depends on how deep the pipe is, how long the run is, and what is on top of it, such as lawn, concrete or asphalt. We give you a price after the inspection and before any digging starts. Call (801) 930-8000.
