Stop Sewage Backups Before They Spread

Professional sewer line repair in Marble Falls addressing cracks, breaks, and root intrusion that threaten your property.

When sewage begins backing up into your drains in Marble Falls, the cause is often a damaged section of sewer line beneath your yard. Tree roots push through older clay pipes, ground movement creates cracks, and aging materials begin to fail after decades underground. You may notice slow drainage throughout your home, gurgling sounds from multiple fixtures, or wet spots appearing in your lawn near the sewer line path. Marble Falls Plumbing LLC repairs these damaged sections without replacing the entire line when the rest of the system remains sound.


We start by identifying the exact location and extent of the damage using camera inspection equipment that shows cracks, breaks, and root intrusion in real time. Once we locate the problem area, we target only the damaged section for repair using methods that match the pipe material and soil conditions in Marble Falls. This approach prevents sewage backups and property damage while preserving the portions of your sewer line that still function properly. Repairs restore normal drainage performance and eliminate the risk of raw sewage surfacing in your yard or seeping into the foundation.


If you need a sewer line inspection or repair in Marble Falls, we can assess the damage and explain your options clearly.

How We Locate and Repair Damaged Sewer Sections

The repair process begins with a video camera inspection that travels through your sewer line and shows us the condition of the pipe from inside. You receive a recording that pinpoints cracks, breaks, root masses, and collapsed sections so we know exactly where to dig and what repair method will hold. In Marble falls, we often find root intrusion from oak and pecan trees that grow into joints or cracks seeking moisture, along with pipe separation caused by shifting soil.


After the repair, your drains will empty normally again, the gurgling will stop, and you will no longer see wastewater pooling in your yard. Durable repair methods restore the integrity of the pipe and prevent further soil erosion or foundation exposure to sewage.


We excavate only the necessary section, remove the damaged pipe, and install a replacement segment that matches the existing line material and diameter. All connections are sealed properly to prevent future leaks, and we backfill and compact the soil to avoid settling. The work does not cover full sewer line replacement, which may be necessary if multiple sections have failed or if the entire system has reached the end of its usable life.

Questions That Come Up Before Scheduling a Repair

Homeowners often want to know how we determine whether a repair is enough or if replacement is the better option, and what the repair process will look like on their property


  • How do you know where the sewer line is damaged? We send a waterproof camera through your sewer line that shows us the pipe condition in real time. The camera recording pinpoints cracks, root intrusion, and breaks so we dig only where the damage exists.
  • What happens if roots have grown into the pipe? We remove the root mass using a cutting tool, then repair or replace the damaged section where the roots entered. The repair seals the opening so roots cannot return to that spot.
  • How long does a sewer line repair take? Most single-section repairs take one day from excavation to backfill. The timeline depends on soil conditions, pipe depth, and whether we encounter rock or other obstacles during digging.
  • Will you have to dig up my entire yard? No, we excavate only the section where the damage is located. Camera inspection allows us to target the problem area without disturbing the rest of your yard or driveway.
  • When should I repair instead of replacing the whole line? If only one or two sections are damaged and the rest of the pipe is structurally sound, repair is usually the right choice. We will show you the camera footage and explain what we see so you can make an informed decision.


Sewer line damage does not fix itself, and waiting allows sewage to continue leaking into the soil around your foundation or yard. Marble Falls Plumbing LLC can inspect your line, show you the damage, and complete the repair with methods that last.
