What we do on a sewer line

• Snaking (augering). A rotating cable cuts through clogs and roots to get the line flowing again.
• Hydro-jetting. High-pressure water scours grease, sludge and root fragments from the pipe walls, not just a hole through the clog.
• Camera inspection. A camera run through the line shows roots, grease buildup, low spots, cracks and broken sections, so the fix matches the problem.
• Repair or replacement of damaged sections. When the camera shows the line itself has failed, we repair or replace the damaged section.

Signs your sewer line needs attention

• Several drains slow at the same time, especially the lowest ones in the house
• Gurgling from a floor drain or toilet when another fixture drains
• Water or sewage coming up through a basement floor drain, shower or toilet
• A sewage smell in the basement or yard
• Repeat clogs that come back after you clear them
• Wet or unusually green patches of lawn over the line

How a sewer line job works

1. Call. The line is answered live 24/7 by the 4Sure crew.
2. Stop the backup. If sewage is coming up, we clear the line first so it stops.
3. Inspect. A camera inspection shows what caused the problem.
4. Free written estimate. You see the recommended fix and the price before we go further.
5. Clear or repair. Snaking, hydro-jetting, or repair or replacement of the damaged section.
6. Clean up and rebuild if needed. If sewage reached living space, we handle the IICRC S500 Category 3 cleanup, drying and reconstruction under our 24-month workmanship warranty.

Why one company for the line and the cleanup

When the line and the damage are handled by different companies, homeowners end up coordinating schedules, repeating the story to two crews, and sorting out whose paperwork goes to the insurance carrier. With 4Sure, the crew that clears or repairs the line is the same company that extracts, cleans, dries and rebuilds. One scope, one point of contact, one set of photos and moisture readings for your claim.

Common causes we see in Utah County

• Tree roots entering older clay or cast-iron lines through joints
• Grease from kitchen drains building up over time
• Wipes and other non-flushable items catching in the line
• Damaged or sagging sections where waste collects
• City sewer surcharges during heavy storms, when the municipal main is overloaded

Preventing the next backup

• Keep grease, wipes and paper towels out of drains and toilets
• Have the line inspected if you have mature trees near it or have had a backup before
• Ask about a backwater valve if storm surcharges have reached your home
• Check whether your homeowners policy has a sewer backup endorsement

Common questions

Do you clear sewer lines or only clean up after backups?

Both. 4Sure clears sewer lines by snaking or hydro-jetting, inspects them with a camera, and repairs or replaces damaged sections. We also handle the Category 3 cleanup and rebuild when sewage came into the house.

What is the difference between snaking and hydro-jetting?

Snaking (augering) uses a rotating cable to cut through a clog or roots and open the line. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to scour grease, sludge and root fragments off the pipe walls. Which one fits depends on what the camera shows.

Why do a camera inspection?

A camera shows what is actually in the line: roots, grease, a belly where waste collects, cracks or a broken section. It tells us whether clearing is enough or whether the line needs repair, so you are not paying for the wrong fix.

What does sewer line work cost?

Every job gets a free written estimate before work starts. Price depends on what the camera shows, the length and depth of the line, access, and whether the line needs clearing or a repair.

Is 4Sure licensed for sewer line work?

Yes. 4Sure works under Utah Contractor License #961339-4102, and is also an IICRC Certified Firm (#923321-2371) for the cleanup side.

Will insurance pay for the sewer line repair?

Often the line itself and the damage it caused are treated differently. Many policies cover resulting water or sewage damage only with a sewer backup endorsement, and may not cover the pipe repair. We review your policy with you before work starts.
