Sewer Mainline Stoppage Clearing

When water backs up in your tubs, toilets won’t flush, or you hear gurgling in your drains, it often points to a sewer mainline stoppage. These problems can escalate quickly and cause serious damage if not addressed.

At GPS Plumbing, we provide expert sewer line diagnostics and repair services backed by more than 20 years of experience.

We use advanced equipment, honest assessments, and straightforward pricing to resolve your mainline issues and restore proper flow to your home’s plumbing system.

With deep roots in the communities we serve, our experienced team understands the unique soil conditions and infrastructure challenges in North Texas, which means we can accurately diagnose problems and recommend long-lasting solutions—without guesswork or unnecessary upsells.

Common Signs of a Sewer Mainline Blockage

  • Multiple fixtures backing up at the same time (toilets, showers, tubs)
  • Gurgling sounds in sink or tub drains when toilets flush
  • Standing water in bathtubs or floor drains
  • Water backing up into lower level fixtures
  • Foul sewage odors indoors or near yard cleanouts

Our Sewer Line Diagnosis Process

Every home is different, but our process is clear and thorough:

  • Visual Inspection: We check your indoor fixtures for signs of mainline issues.
  • Exterior Cleanout Access: If available, we use your cleanout to access the sewer line.
  • Camera Inspection: If needed for recurring issues or unknown causes.
  • Determine Cause: Tree roots, grease buildup, paper blockages, collapsed lines, or foreign objects.
  • Upfront Estimate: We explain what we found and your options—clearly and honestly.

Sewer Mainline Clearing Options

  • Sewer Machine (Cable/Roto-Rooter): Ideal for clearing soft blockages like paper, wipes, and minor root intrusions. Fast and effective for most stoppages.
  • Hydrojetting (Outdoor Only): For heavier buildup outside the home. High-pressure water jets can break up grease, debris, and roots. Note: Not safe for fragile or broken lines.
  • Spot Repairs or Replacements: If the camera reveals a break, offset joint, or collapsed section, we’ll quote repair options. We can dig or tunnel under your yard or slab as needed.
