A sewer backup is a serious issue that needs immediate attention to prevent property damage. Our first step is a thorough TV inspection of your lateral sewer line. This camera inspection allows us to pinpoint the exact cause—whether it's a root intrusion, a break, or a blockage—without guesswork. From there, we can recommend the most effective solution, which often includes our trenchless CIPP relining to repair the pipe from the inside, avoiding major excavation in your yard.

Trenchless relining, specifically our Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) method, is a minimally invasive way to repair damaged sewer or water pipes. We insert a resin-saturated liner into your existing pipe and cure it in place to form a new, durable pipe-within-a-pipe. This is an excellent option for most homes because it avoids the need for extensive digging, preserving your landscaping, driveway, and hardscapes. It's a long-lasting repair method we've used successfully since 1967 on pipes from 6 inches to over 6 feet in diameter.

Absolutely. Preventative care is central to our approach. We recommend periodic TV sewer inspections to identify small issues like hairline cracks, root beginnings, or minor offsets before they lead to backups or collapses. For common local issues like aging washing machine hose connections, we can assess and replace them during a service call. This proactive strategy helps Hudson homeowners avoid the inconvenience and higher cost of emergency repairs down the line.
