Indianapolis Sewer Lines & Excavation

Sewer lines transport wastewater from an Indianapolis property’s plumbing system to the larger municipal sewage system, which carries wastewater to water treatment facilities. Maintaining underground sewer lines on your property is most often your responsibility.

Commercial Sewer Line Maintenance and Repair

Compared to residential sewer lines, commercial sewer lines experience higher usage, making them more vulnerable to blockages and clogs. A malfunctioning sewer line can bring commercial operations to a halt unless addressed promptly. At Roto-Rooter, we understand the critical importance of a well-functioning plumbing system for commercial facilities. Our sewer and drain specialists employ state-of-the-art equipment to unclog and restore commercial sewer systems to full working capacity with as little downtime as possible.

Given the demands placed on commercial sewer systems, regularly scheduled maintenance is recommended. Roto-Rooter provides scheduled preventive maintenance programs for the unique needs of commercial establishments. Our sewer and drain technicians thoroughly inspect your commercial property to assess the status of your plumbing and drain systems. Based on their expert assessment, we recommend a routine sewer and drain maintenance schedule and help you select the required drain maintenance products and automated systems for your sewer system’s optimal performance.

Comprehensive Excavation Services

Roto-Rooter offers sewer line replacement services to Indianapolis residences and businesses. Many Indianapolis sewer pipes are cast iron or clay pipes currently reaching the end of their projected 80-year lifespan. We replace old sewer pipes with modern PVC sewer lines that will provide reliable service for decades.

Roto-Rooter understands the challenges associated with sewer line replacement in Indianapolis and uses industry-leading technology to minimize the disruptive impact of sewer excavation. We adhere to rigorous safety standards and regulatory guidelines throughout excavation projects and offer financing options to help you pay for replacement pipes over time.

Trenchless Technology

Conventional sewer line replacement in Indianapolis requires heavy machinery to dig extensive trenches, which may require the disruption of landscaping and damage to structures atop the sewer line. In many cases, Roto-Rooter can leave trees, sidewalks, driveways, and landscaping undisturbed with state-of-the-art zero-dig trenchless technology

Roto Rooter’s zero-dig pipe restoration services repair or replace old sewer pipes with little to no digging, often allowing us to complete even extensive repairs within a few hours. After identifying the source of the sewer line problem using video camera snakes, Roto-Rooter sewer specialists use cutting-edge trenchless technology to clean and reline old pipes, restoring full functionality and reliability without digging up landscaping, sidewalks, or driveways.

Importance of Sewer Lines Maintenance

Proactive sewer line maintenance prevents sewer line emergencies from happening. Roto-Rooter provides routine sewer cleaning services to Indianapolis homes and businesses. Sewer maintenance can reduce the likelihood of clogs, sewer line backups, and associated repair costs by preventing the buildup of grease and debris in the pipes. A sewer maintenance schedule can also prevent damage to sewer lines caused by plant root infiltration, which can damage pipes and create voids.

If one of our maintenance team sees signs of a significant problem during sewer line maintenance, they recommend a video inspection of the pipeline. Using a camera snake to navigate the sewer line, the technician can show you the problem on the video monitor and suggest the best options for corrective action. Addressing minor sewer line issues before they become serious problems is smart and cost-efficient.

A sewer line backup can result in sewage overflowing from toilets, showers, and other plumbing fixtures. Sewer backups rapidly damage buildings and their contents, elevate health risks due to exposure to bacteria-laden wastewater, and disrupt the regular functioning of homes or workplaces. Without regular maintenance, residents and business owners in Indianapolis may encounter a range of severe sewer problems, including: 

  • Tree Root Intrusions: Small tree roots can infiltrate sewer lines, often at the pipe joints. Inside the pipeline, roots encounter a constant supply of water and nutrients. Over time, the roots expand, applying pressure that results in clogged, broken, or collapsed pipes. Left untreated, damage from tree roots only increases with time. 
  • Temperature Changes: Indianapolis experiences extreme temperatures, with winters as low as 23℉, while summer temperatures can soar 85°F or higher. Temperature changes cause sewer lines to expand and contract, increasing the risk of cracked pipes. 
  • Wear and Tear: While sewer pipes often provide decades of service, nothing lasts forever. The older your sewer line, the greater your risk of severe problems without regular sewer line cleanings. 

Signs that your sewer system requires maintenance or repairs include: 

  • Two or more slow-draining sinks, showers, or bathtubs.
  • Gurgling noises when toilets flush.
  • Water rising up from the bathtub or shower drains when the toilet flushes. 
  • Constant need to plunge toilets. 
  • Sewer smell from drains or yards.
