Sewer & Septic Line Repair in Wimberley
The sewer and septic side of a Hill Country home hides a lot of trouble. Roots find the joints. Rocky, shifting limestone soil cracks and separates pipe over the years. On septic properties, the line running to the tank, the tank connections, and grinder or lift pumps all fail in ways that show up as slow drains and bad smells long before a full backup.

Request sewer line repair
We start every sewer job with a camera. There is no reason to guess or to dig blind on a rocky Wimberley lot. The camera shows us exactly where the break, belly, root ball, or offset joint sits and how deep, so we can plan a repair that touches as little of your yard and driveway as possible.
We handle the plumbing side of septic systems, the building sewer and the pump work, and coordinate with your septic professional on the tank and drain field when the problem crosses that line. Straight answers, camera proof, and a written scope before anyone starts digging.

- Slow drainage after heavy Hill Country rain saturates the ground
What our sewer line repair service includes
Camera diagnosis and locating
We inspect and mark the exact spot and depth of the fault so any excavation is precise, not exploratory.
Spot repair and replacement
We fix a cracked section, reset an offset joint, or replace a failed run of building sewer with modern pipe rated for the soil.
Root removal and prevention
We cut roots back, clean the line, and address the joint they entered so they do not simply grow back in.
Grinder and lift pump work
Many local and low-lying properties rely on pumps to move waste. We diagnose, repair, and replace the pump and its controls.
Septic-side coordination
We handle the plumbing to the tank and work alongside your septic pro on the tank and field so nobody points fingers.
How it works
- 1
Inspect with a camera
We run the line from the cleanout to find the exact fault, its depth, and whether roots, breakage, or a belly caused it.
- 2
Locate and mark
We pinpoint the repair spot on the surface so digging is limited to what the fix actually requires.
- 3
Present a written scope
You get a clear plan and price, including how we protect your driveway, landscaping, and rocky grade.
- 4
Make the repair
We excavate carefully through rock, replace or reset the failed section, and use fittings rated for long service.
- 5
Verify and backfill
We camera the finished line, confirm flow, backfill, and leave the site as close to how we found it as possible.

What affects the cost
Every property is different, so we diagnose on site and give you a written, line-item estimate before any work begins. Here’s what moves the price:
- Depth of the line and how much limestone or rock has to be excavated
- Length of pipe that must be replaced versus a single spot repair
- Access, since driveways, mature trees, and steep grades complicate the dig
- Whether a grinder pump, lift station, or its controls are part of the failure
- Root removal and jetting needed before a lasting repair can be made
- Permits, inspections, and any septic-side coordination the job requires
- Camera inspection and locating, which prevent far costlier blind digging

Sewer Line Repair FAQs
On rocky Hill Country lots, yes. Digging blind wastes money and tears up your yard. The camera shows the exact fault and depth so we dig once, in the right place, and you see the same footage we do.
Usually. Once we locate the fault precisely, most repairs are a targeted excavation rather than trenching the entire run. We tell you honestly whether a spot repair or a full replacement is the right call.
Yes. Grinder and lift pumps are common on low or river-adjacent lots, and they do fail. We diagnose the pump, float switches, and controls, and repair or replace what has gone bad.
Often yes, especially for replacing a section of building sewer or work near a septic system. We handle permitting where the jurisdiction requires it and coordinate any needed inspection, so the repair is documented and done to code. On septic properties we also loop in your septic professional for the tank and drain field side.
A located spot repair is frequently a one-day job once we know the exact fault and depth. Longer runs, deep lines in limestone, or repairs under a driveway take more time to excavate and backfill carefully. Because we camera and mark the fault first, we can give you a realistic timeline in the written scope before digging.
