When a sanitary sewer line backs up or fails, it creates immediate health risks and disrupts operations. You need a system that moves wastewater away from buildings and into treatment facilities without leaks, blockages, or overflows. Allied Water Services provides sanitary sewer solutions for commercial and municipal clients, including inspections that locate problems before they escalate, repairs that restore flow, and full replacements when aging infrastructure can no longer be patched.

Sanitary sewer service includes camera inspections to identify cracks, root intrusion, and pipe deterioration, along with cleaning to remove grease buildup and other obstructions. Repairs may involve spot fixes for isolated damage or full line replacements when pipes have reached the end of their lifespan. All work follows regulatory standards and uses construction methods built for durability. Emergency response is available when backups or breaks require immediate attention to protect public health and property.

If you're dealing with slow drains, recurring backups, or concerns about an aging sewer system, reach out to discuss inspection and repair options.

How Our Process Works

The work begins with a camera inspection to assess the condition of your sanitary sewer line. The camera travels through the pipe and records video that shows cracks, joint separation, root penetration, grease accumulation, and any sections that have shifted or collapsed. This footage helps pinpoint the exact location and extent of the problem.

Once the inspection is complete, you'll see a plan that addresses the specific issues found. Allied Water Services uses advanced diagnostics and equipment to handle both routine maintenance and emergency repairs. If a section of pipe is damaged beyond repair, it's removed and replaced with materials that meet current codes and provide long-term reliability.

Repairs are coordinated to minimize downtime, especially for facilities that operate around the clock. For municipal projects, the work includes communication with local agencies to maintain compliance and avoid service interruptions. The service doesn't include routine plumbing repairs inside buildings, but it does cover main sewer lines that connect properties to public systems or treatment facilities.

Most questions about sanitary sewer service focus on what the inspection reveals, how quickly repairs can be completed, and what happens if a line needs to be replaced.

What are the most common causes of sanitary sewer backups?

Grease buildup, tree root intrusion, and collapsed or offset pipe sections are the leading causes. Older clay or cast iron pipes are especially vulnerable to root penetration and corrosion over time.

How long does a sewer line replacement take?
Most replacements for commercial properties are completed within one to three days depending on line length and site access. Larger municipal projects may take longer and require phased work to keep portions of the system operational.

What materials are used for sanitary sewer repairs?
Repairs typically use PVC or HDPE pipe, both of which resist corrosion and root intrusion better than older materials. The choice depends on local codes, soil conditions, and the depth of the line.

When should a sanitary sewer line be inspected?
Inspections should be scheduled every three to five years for older systems or whenever you notice slow drainage, foul odors, or recurring backups. Regular inspections catch small problems before they require emergency repairs.

What happens during an emergency sewer backup?
Emergency response includes locating the blockage or break, clearing the line to restore flow, and making temporary repairs if needed. Permanent repairs are scheduled once the immediate problem is resolved and the system is functional again.

Sanitary sewer systems require regular attention to stay reliable, especially as infrastructure ages and demand increases. If your facility is experiencing drainage issues or you need to assess the condition of your sewer lines, contact us to schedule an inspection and review your options.
