Keep people and pets away from the affected area, and stay clear of water near electrical equipment. Call for help; report an overflowing public manhole to the sewer provider.\n\nBasement · Yard · Street\n\n## One connected way out.\n\nGravity carries wastewater toward the public sewer. Select a part to see where it sits and what changes when that section needs repair.\n\n**Inside the sewer route / Explore in 3D**\n\n**Where the lateral joins the main**\n\nThe curved saddle covers the opening; its branch socket receives the house pipe.\n\nWhole route\n\nHouse drain → yard lateral → public sewer. Drag to rotate; select a named part.\n\n01 / Building drain\n\n### Under the basement\n\nBathroom and laundry branches join the building drain below the slab. This larger pipe collects wastewater and carries it toward the foundation. The vertical drain stack brings in water from the floors above.\n\nA repair here starts by locating the pipe beneath the concrete. Its depth and branch connections determine the floor opening. Bedding—the prepared material under and around the pipe—supports the rebuilt drain. Its slope carries wastewater toward the outlet.\n\n02 / The house outlet\n\n### Through the foundation\n\nThe drain leaves the building through a protected foundation opening. Outside, it continues as the sewer lateral—the pipe serving this property.\n\nThe house outlet elevation sets the starting height for the yard run. A basement that sits below the receiving sewer may need a sewage ejector to lift wastewater to it.\n\n03 / Entry for the camera and cable\n\n### Cleanout access\n\nA cleanout is a capped access opening connected to the sewer. Its fitting guides cleaning and inspection equipment into the buried line. The model shows an outdoor cleanout aimed downstream.\n\nCrews need access that fits the direction and size of their equipment. A buried, damaged or poorly placed cleanout can become part of the repair. Keep its cover accessible after landscaping.\n\n04 / Private sewer lateral\n\n### Across the yard\n\nWastewater runs downhill through the lateral toward the public sewer. Roots, separated joints, broken pipe and settled sections can interrupt that path.\n\nThe camera shows the inside. A small transmitter near its head sends a signal that a receiver above ground can locate. This connects a defect on the recording to a marked spot in the yard or floor.\n\n05 / Where the two systems join\n\n### Connection to the main\n\nThe house pipe joins an opening in the public main. This model shows a tap saddle: a shaped connector sitting over a cored hole, held around the main by stainless bands. Its branch socket receives the lateral.\n\nUse “Show opening in main” to remove the connector and see the hole through the pipe wall. In the assembled view, the saddle covers that opening and the lateral points wastewater into the main.\n\n#### A built-in wye\n\nThe branch is formed into a section of sewer main. The lateral joins its socket. Installing a new wye in an existing main means opening that section of the main and connecting the fitting at both ends.\n\n#### A tap on an existing main\n\nA cored opening passes through the main’s wall. A saddle or another purpose-made connector fits that opening and receives the house pipe. The model shows the saddle, its curved sealing apron and the bands holding it around the main.\n\n#### A clear passage into the main\n\nThe connection leaves the main’s passage open for wastewater from upstream homes. The branch pipe seats in its fitting; its end belongs at the connection, clear of the flow channel. The sewer provider sets the connection type used on its main.\n\n[Fernco · How a sewer tap saddle connects to a main ↗](<https://www.fernco.com/sites/default/files/literature/fernco_tapsaddle_install_0.pdf>) · [Fernco · Saddle connections and built-in pipe junctions ↗](<https://www.fernco.co.uk/product/saddles-for-concrete-clay-pipe>)\n\n06 / The neighborhood sewer\n\n### Public sewer main\n\nThe main receives wastewater from multiple properties and carries it through the collection system toward treatment. A blockage here can affect several homes.\n\nReport an overflowing manhole or a suspected main blockage to the sewer provider. A contractor inspecting the property line can share the camera findings and connection location with that provider.\n\nThe front of the ground and basement floor are cut away to reveal the connected drains. Yard distances are shortened. This gravity-fed example has a cleanout opening toward the street. [Explore a sewage ejector for lower fixtures ↗](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/pumps/?agentnet=md>)\n\nWhat is happening inside?\n\n## Read the finding. Understand the fix.\n\nA useful inspection shows the pipe material, the defect and where it is. Clearing a blocked view and locating the camera from above help turn that finding into a repair plan.\n\nROOT ENTRY FLOW\n\n### Roots at a joint\n\nRoots enter through an opening and grow inside the pipe, catching paper and waste. Cleaning cuts back the growth. Repeated intrusion puts the leaking joint or damaged section into the repair discussion.\n\nSHIFTED PIPE ENDS FLOW\n\n### Offset or broken pipe\n\nAn offset is a step where adjoining pipe ends have shifted out of alignment. A large step, missing wall or collapsed section can obstruct the passage and let soil enter. The extent of damage determines the repair length.\n\nWATER HELD IN THE LOW SPOT FLOW\n\n### A low spot / belly\n\nA belly is a low section where water remains after flow stops. Solids can settle in that pool and cause recurring backups. Once a downstream blockage has been cleared, inspection shows whether water still collects there. Correcting the belly means resetting the pipe’s slope and its support.\n\nNARROWED PASSAGE FLOW\n\n### Grease, scale & debris\n\nGrease coats the pipe; mineral and corrosion deposits can make a hard, rough layer. Both catch debris and reduce the opening. Cleaning exposes the pipe underneath so the technician can distinguish deposits from a damaged wall.\n\n[Seattle Public Utilities · Sewer defects explained ↗](<https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/sewer-and-drainage/side-sewers/defects-and-issues>) · [RIDGID · Camera inspection and underground locating ↗](<https://www.ridgid.com/us/en/seesnake-standard-camera-with-trusense>)\n\n### How the symptoms and camera findings fit together\n\n### Start with the symptom\n\nOne slow sink points the investigation toward that fixture and its branch. Several fixtures backing up together point toward a shared drain farther downstream. The lowest opening may show the backup first.\n\n### Read the camera with the location\n\nRecord where the camera entered, which direction it traveled and where it stopped. Locate the defect at the surface. Cable distance alone does not show where the pipe turns beneath the yard.\n\n### Look at the whole affected run\n\nA blocked or submerged lens can hide the wall and joints. Clearing the line gives a better view. Material changes, branch connections and the pipe on either side of a defect help establish the repair length.\n\nConcrete opened to expose a drain during a Mountain Man Plumbing repair\n\nMountain Man field work · Access beneath a concrete floor.\n\nThe opening is part of the job\n\n## Getting to the pipe.\n\nBelow a basement, the crew works through the slab. Outside, the same repair may involve lawn, a driveway or pavement. The depth and working room around the damaged section often drive the disruption more than the length of new pipe.\n\nA camera location, surface markings and a clear restoration plan make that work easier to picture before it begins.\n\n[See the project stages ↓](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/sewer-underground/#sg-project>)\n\nWhat is buried at your house?\n\n## The pipes you may find.\n\nOne house can have cast iron beneath the slab, an older clay or Orangeburg yard line, and PVC from a later repair. Follow the material changes along the entire inspected route.\n\nHard ceramic / Older yard laterals\n\n### Clay\n\nVitrified clay is clay fired into a hard ceramic sewer pipe. Older house laterals often use short sections with bell-shaped joints.\n\n### What the inspection looks for\n\nThe pipe body resists corrosion, while older joints can admit roots or shift as the ground moves. Cracks and displaced joints show up on the camera.\n\n### Repair choices\n\nOne broken joint may need a short replacement. Lining can bridge suitable joints along a serviceable route. A run with widespread breaks may suit replacement by excavation or bursting. Camera findings establish the length and severity of the damage.\n\n[National Clay Pipe Institute · Clay pipe and joints ↗](<https://www.ncpi.org/frequently-asked-questions/>)\n\nLayered fiber / Mid-century sewer laterals\n\n### Orangeburg\n\nOrangeburg is compressed wood fiber bound with pitch, a tar-like material. The dark pipe can look like layers of heavy paper at a broken edge. It was widely used for sewer laterals from the 1940s into the early 1970s.\n\n### What the inspection looks for\n\nAging pipe can soften, blister inward, flatten or collapse. Roots can enter damaged sections. A distorted opening explains why the same spot keeps stopping up.\n\n### Repair choices\n\nA badly flattened or collapsed run needs replacement. Lining requires enough open passage to install the liner and a pipe shape it can follow. The camera inspection shows how much of the old pipe still holds its shape.\n\n[Vernal City · Orangeburg sewer laterals ↗](<https://vernal.gov/m/newsflash/home/detail/382>)\n\nHeavy metal / Inside and below older homes\n\n### Cast iron\n\nCast iron is common in older drain stacks and drains beneath concrete. A hub is the enlarged socket at a pipe end. No-hub pipe has plain ends joined by rubber sleeves with metal shields and bands.\n\n### What the inspection looks for\n\nCorrosion can roughen the interior, thin the bottom or open a split. Scale can hide the remaining wall. Cleaning and inspection reveal whether the trouble is removable buildup or loss of the pipe itself.\n\n### Repair choices\n\nReplacing a buried section includes slab access and supported transitions. Vertical pipe above a cut needs support. A longer worn-out run can make a coordinated drain replacement practical.\n\n[Charlotte Pipe · Cast iron and underground drainage ↗](<https://www.charlottepipe.com/articles/cast-iron-or-pvc-selecting-the-right-pipe-for-underground-drainage>)\n\nRigid plastic / Building drains and sewer pipe\n\n### PVC\n\nPVC, or polyvinyl chloride, is rigid plastic. White drain, waste and vent (DWV) pipe is familiar inside houses; green or white sewer pipe is common in buried laterals. The printed pipe standard identifies which fitting system it uses.\n\n### What the inspection looks for\n\nPoor bedding, settlement or loading can deform a run. Damaged fittings or separated joints can leak or admit roots. A smooth plastic wall still needs a well-supported route.\n\n### Repair choices\n\nMatch the new pipe and fittings by their standard and outside diameter. PVC DWV and thin-wall sewer pipe use different fitting systems; the transition must fit both ends.\n\n[Charlotte Pipe · Plastic drainage systems ↗](<https://www.charlottepipe.com/uploads/documents/technical/TM-PL.pdf>)\n\nBlack rigid plastic / House drainage\n\n### ABS\n\nABS, or acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, is the black plastic used for drain, waste and vent piping in many western homes. House branches and building drains may run through walls, floors and beneath the slab.\n\n### What the inspection looks for\n\nInspection looks for cracked fittings, strained joints and settled sections. Solvent-cemented connections and properly supported fittings are key parts of the system.\n\n### Repair choices\n\nNew ABS joins with ABS solvent cement. A change to another material uses a suitable transition for the materials, dimensions and location.\n\n[Charlotte Pipe · Plastic drainage systems ↗](<https://www.charlottepipe.com/uploads/documents/technical/TM-PL.pdf>)\n\nCement-based pipe / Some older laterals\n\n### Concrete\n\nConcrete pipe can appear in older sewer routes. It is made from cement and aggregate—the sand and stone held together by the cement. As its surface wears, those stones become exposed inside the pipe.\n\n### What the inspection looks for\n\nA rough, eroded wall, exposed aggregate, cracks or open joints tell the inspector about its condition. Soil entering through missing wall material is a more serious finding.\n\n### Repair choices\n\nPreparation and remaining pipe condition determine whether rehabilitation fits or whether the affected run needs replacement.\n\n[Seattle Public Utilities · Sewer defects explained ↗](<https://www.seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/sewer-and-drainage/side-sewers/defects-and-issues>)\n\nFused plastic / Trenchless replacement\n\n### HDPE\n\nHigh-density polyethylene is a flexible plastic often pulled in during pipe bursting. Lengths are commonly heat-fused into a continuous run before the pull.\n\n### Installation details\n\nDuring a pull, the new pipe carries tension and can stretch. The crew allows it to relax before making final connections. The completed run needs a continuous fall toward the sewer and secure transitions at both ends.\n\n### Repair choices\n\nHDPE is a common replacement for pipe bursting. Fused joints join its lengths into one run. Connections to clay, cast iron or PVC use transition fittings sized for the actual outside diameters.\n\n[Plastics Pipe Institute · Replacement pipe for bursting ↗](<https://plasticpipe.org/Drainage/MunicipalAdvisoryBoard/Navigation/Pipe-Bursting-Menu/Overview-Pages/A-PipingSolution.aspx>) · [EPA · How pipe bursting works ↗](<https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2019-08/documents/pipe_bursting_fact_sheet_p100il70.pdf>)\n\nMatch the work to the pipe\n\n## How sewer repairs work.\n\nThe route, damage and access determine which methods fit. The contractor may combine a short excavation with lining or another replacement method.\n\n**Repair method / Explore in 3D**\n\nDrag to rotate · Pipe and ground cut away to reveal the work\n\nCleaning\n\n### Remove the obstruction\n\nA cable, cutting head or water jet breaks up and removes material from the line. The tool is selected for the obstruction, pipe condition and available access.\n\n### Where it fits\n\nUseful when the pipe has a usable passage and the main problem is material inside it. Camera inspection after clearing gives a better view of the pipe wall and joints.\n\n**Access & surface work**Usually through an existing cleanout or another suitable drain opening.\n\n**What remains after the work**Debris removed; the existing pipe and joints remain.\n\n[Seattle Public Utilities · Sewer repair methods ↗](<https://seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/sewer-and-drainage/side-sewers/repair-methods>)\n\n### The three stages of cleaning\n\n1. #### See the obstruction\n\n   Roots have entered an open joint. Here a rotating cable cutter works through the growth. Jetting is another cleaning method; the tool choice depends on the obstruction and pipe condition.\n2. #### Cut back the roots\n\n   The cutter opens the passage so loosened material can be removed. The opening in the old joint remains. That joint explains why roots can return after a successful cleaning.\n3. #### Inspect the cleared pipe\n\n   The camera now has a clearer view of the joint and pipe wall. Those findings guide the choice between periodic maintenance and repairing the point where roots enter.\n\nSpot repair\n\n### Replace one damaged section\n\nA localized opening exposes the defect. The crew removes the damaged piece, prepares the pipe bed and connects new pipe to sound ends.\n\n### Where it fits\n\nA defined break, offset or small failed area with usable pipe on both sides. Below a basement, the opening includes concrete removal and patching.\n\n**Access & surface work**One excavation around the damage, plus enough working room for the connections.\n\n**What remains after the work**One failed section replaced; usable pipe remains on either side.\n\n[Seattle Public Utilities · Sewer repair methods ↗](<https://seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/sewer-and-drainage/side-sewers/repair-methods>)\n\n### The three stages of spot repair\n\n1. #### Expose the break\n\n   A small section has failed between usable pipe. The excavation gives the crew room to remove it and reach sound pipe on both sides.\n2. #### Fit the replacement\n\n   A new section rests on prepared bedding. Transition couplings join it to the existing ends. Each coupling fits the pipe material and outside diameter on its side of the repair.\n3. #### Support and check\n\n   The crew checks alignment, connections and drainage before covering the work. Material packed beneath the pipe’s lower sides supports it as the excavation is backfilled.\n\nOpen trench\n\n### Rebuild the route and its slope\n\nThe crew exposes the affected length, removes old pipe and lays the replacement on prepared bedding. This provides direct access to correct settled sections and rebuild branch connections.\n\n### Where it fits\n\nMultiple failed sections, a collapse, or a route that needs its elevations corrected. Finish restoration follows backfill and compaction.\n\n**Access & surface work**A continuous opening along the replacement run. Concrete, landscaping or pavement above it becomes part of the job.\n\n**What remains after the work**The affected run replaced with direct control of its slope and bedding.\n\n[Seattle Public Utilities · Sewer repair methods ↗](<https://seattle.gov/utilities/your-services/sewer-and-drainage/side-sewers/repair-methods>)\n\n### The three stages of open trench\n\n1. #### Open the affected run\n\n   Excavation exposes the length needing replacement. Here the old pipe has settled. Access along the run lets the crew correct its height and support.\n2. #### Rebuild the fall\n\n   The new pipe sits on an even bed with a continuous downhill slope. Bell-and-spigot joints connect the sections: the plain end fits into the enlarged socket.\n3. #### Backfill in layers\n\n   After testing and inspection, material is placed around the pipe and compacted in layers. The yard, slab or pavement is restored, and cleanouts remain accessible.\n\nPipe lining\n\n### Form a new lining inside the pipe\n\nCured-in-place pipe (CIPP) starts as a flexible tube soaked with resin. The crew installs it inside the existing pipe and holds it against the wall while the resin hardens. The result is a new inner pipe.\n\n### Where it fits\n\nThe existing pipe needs enough open passage and a suitable shape for installation. The liner adds an inner wall and follows the old route. Any standing-water problem caused by a belly still needs a slope repair.\n\n**Access & surface work**Entry points for preparation and installation; additional openings may be needed for connections or damaged sections.\n\n**What remains after the work**A hardened inner lining follows the existing pipe route.\n\n[Perma-Liner · Liner preparation, inflation and curing ↗](<https://perma-liner.com/wp-content/uploads/permacocs/perma-lateral-pdf/Perma-Lateral%20Lining%20Specifications.pdf>) · [EPA · Sewer rehabilitation methods ↗](<https://www3.epa.gov/npdes/pubs/csossoRTC2004_AppendixL.pdf>)\n\n### The three stages of pipe lining\n\n1. #### Prepare the existing pipe\n\n   The crew cleans and measures the pipe, locates branch connections and checks its shape. The flexible liner is sized to that run and saturated with resin.\n2. #### Inflate and cure\n\n   Inside the pipe, an inflated bladder presses the installed liner against the wall while the resin hardens. This section view shows the curing stage after insertion.\n3. #### Open the finished passage\n\n   The temporary bladder comes out. The hardened lining stays. Covered branch connections are reopened, the ends are finished, and a camera checks the completed passage.\n\nPipe bursting\n\n### Pull a new pipe through the old route\n\nA cable or rod pulls an expanding head through the old pipe. The head breaks or splits that pipe outward and pulls a new pipe directly behind it. Our cutaway shows a static cable pull through clay with HDPE replacement.\n\n### Where it fits\n\nThe existing route, pipe material and ground must suit the pull. Nearby utilities, bends and branch connections affect access. If a section has settled, its height also needs correcting to restore downhill drainage.\n\n**Access & surface work**Launch and receiving excavations, with additional access where connections or obstructions require it.\n\n**What remains after the work**A new pipe occupies the route; broken old pipe stays in the surrounding ground.\n\n[TRIC Tools · Bursting heads and replacement pipe ↗](<https://www.trictools.com/products/bursting-heads/>) · [EPA · How pipe bursting works ↗](<https://www.epa.gov/sites/default/files/2019-08/documents/pipe_bursting_fact_sheet_p100il70.pdf>)\n\n### The three stages of pipe bursting\n\n1. #### Set up the pull\n\n   A cable runs through the old clay pipe to a pulling machine at the receiving end. The replacement HDPE is attached behind the bursting head at the insertion end.\n2. #### Break and replace\n\n   The narrow nose leads; the wider head breaks the clay outward. New pipe follows immediately behind it. The orange pieces show the old pipe displaced into the surrounding ground.\n3. #### Make the connections\n\n   The new pipe reaches the receiving excavation. After it relaxes from the pull, the crew completes the end connections, reconnects branches and checks the finished run.\n\nFrom inspection to restored ground\n\n## What the work involves.\n\n1. ### Locate & plan\n\n   Inspect and locate the affected run. Mark the damage, depth and access points. Arrange utility locates, permits, equipment access and the time when the household must stop using the sewer.\n2. ### Expose & repair\n\n   Open the work area and repair the selected run. Bedding supports the pipe from below; material placed under its lower sides keeps it from shifting. Connections and slope are checked while they remain visible.\n3. ### Check the finished line\n\n   Complete the required tests and inspection before covering the repair. Check the finished passage and connections. Before-and-after camera recordings show what changed and identify any remaining issues.\n4. ### Restore the surface\n\n   Backfill and compact around the completed pipe, then restore the slab, pavement or landscaping included in the job. Keep cleanouts accessible and save the route photos.\n\n[Blue Stakes of Utah 811 · Planning an excavation ↗](<https://www.bluestakes.org/how-it-works/>) · [Salt Lake City · Sewer system management and lateral rehabilitation ↗](<https://slcdocs.com/utilities/PDF%20Files/SSMP%20Program.pdf>)\n\n### What to compare in the quote\n\nThe marked repair location and length; excavation or trenchless method; new pipe and connections; utility crossings; time without sewer service; testing and inspections; and restoration of concrete, pavement, lawn or irrigation. Ask who completes each surface repair and when.\n\n### Using the house during the work\n\nToilets, showers, laundry and the kitchen all add water to the sewer. The crew sets the shutoff window for those uses while the line is open or curing. Longer projects may need temporary wastewater arrangements or a different bathroom plan.\n\nYour line & the neighborhood system\n\n## Who takes care of which pipe?\n\n### The property’s lateral\n\nThe homeowner generally maintains the sewer lateral from the house to its connection with the public main. That can include pipe under a sidewalk or street. The sewer provider defines the boundary for its system.\n\n### The public main\n\nThe sewer provider maintains the shared main. It coordinates repairs at the connection and work affecting its system. Street or sidewalk excavation also brings the road authority into the project.\n\n[Salt Lake City · Customer sewer-lateral responsibility ↗](<https://slcdocs.com/council/agendas/2014agendas/March/Mar18/031814MeetingHandouts.pdf>)\n\nSalt Lake City’s sewer lateral map includes permit notes for many properties. [Find the local map and records ↗](<https://www.slc.gov/utilities/gis-mapping/>)\n\nStraight answers\n\n## Sewer repair questions.\n\n### Does a recurring backup mean I need a new sewer?\n\nA recurring backup calls for a closer look at the obstruction and the pipe behind it. Roots or buildup may be managed with cleaning; a broken wall, severe offset or settled run can require repair. The camera findings and service history help distinguish those jobs.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/sewer-underground/#answer-does-a-recurring-backup-mean-i-need-a-new-sewer>)\n\n### What is a sewer lateral?\n\nIt is the pipe connecting a property’s drains to the public sewer main. In a gravity system it carries wastewater downhill, often across the yard and beneath the street or an easement.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/sewer-underground/#answer-what-is-a-sewer-lateral>)\n\n### Can lining fix a belly?\n\nLining follows the existing pipe’s shape. Correcting a belly requires restoring the drainage slope, which can involve excavating and rebuilding the settled section.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/sewer-underground/#answer-can-lining-fix-a-belly>)\n\n### Does trenchless mean the whole yard stays untouched?\n\nTrenchless work reduces the length of continuous excavation. Crews still need access for equipment, pipe insertion and connections. Ask the contractor to mark those access areas so the surface work is clear.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/sewer-underground/#answer-does-trenchless-mean-the-whole-yard-stays-untouched>)\n\n### What should a camera inspection include?\n\nIdentify the entry point, direction of travel, pipe materials, visible defects and where the camera reached. Surface locating connects a defect to its position beneath the yard or floor. Cleaning can reveal pipe hidden by roots, debris or standing water. Keep the recording with the repair location.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/sewer-underground/#answer-what-should-a-camera-inspection-include>)\n\n### How deep is a sewer line?\n\nDepth follows the house outlet, the receiving sewer and the fall needed between them. A basement connection can put the line well below the yard. Locating and measuring the actual route establishes excavation depth.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/sewer-underground/#answer-how-deep-is-a-sewer-line>)\n\n### What makes one sewer quote cost more than another?\n\nCompare the repair length, depth, pipe method, connections and surface work. Access beneath a driveway or basement floor adds different work from an open lawn. Utility crossings, sewer-use arrangements, inspections and restoration also affect the price.\n\n[Link to this answer](<https://mtnmanplumbing.com/services/sewer-underground/#answer-what-makes-one-sewer-quote-cost-more-than-another>)\n\n### Who handles our underground sewer referral?\n\nMountain Man Plumbing currently refers sewer and underground drain repair to Bumble Bee Plumbing.
