The Lee County Challenge: Why Local Expertise Matters
Properties across Lee County, from Cape Coral to Fort Myers, face unique plumbing challenges. Our shifting sandy soils, high water tables, and the stress from heavy seasonal rains can cause aging sewer lines to crack, separate, or fail. Our technicians are local experts who understand these specific conditions, allowing us to diagnose and repair your sewer line with solutions that are built to last in our Southwest Florida environment.
Phase 1: Our Advanced, Non-Invasive Detection Process
Our process begins with finding the exact source of the leak without destroying your property. We use state-of-the-art technology to get precise answers.
- Sewer Video Camera Inspection: Our primary tool is a high-resolution video camera that we feed directly into your sewer line. This allows us to see the exact nature of the problem, whether it's a crack, a tree root intrusion, or a collapsed pipe, without any digging.
- Acoustic & Pressure Testing: We use highly sensitive electronic listening devices to "hear" leaks and can perform pressure tests to confirm the integrity of the line.
Phase 2: Our Modern Repair Solutions
Once we've shown you the problem, we provide a clear, upfront estimate for the solution. We specialize in modern, minimally invasive repair methods that often avoid major excavation:
- Trenchless Pipe Lining: In many cases, we can repair the pipe from the inside out by inserting a durable, resin-coated liner. This creates a new, seamless pipe within the old one, often requiring no digging at all.
- Pipe Bursting: This technique allows us to pull a new pipe through the old one, breaking the damaged pipe apart while simultaneously laying a new, durable line.
- Targeted Excavation: For severe breaks or collapses, our precise detection means we perform a small, surgical excavation only at the point of failure, saving your landscaping and driveway.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are common signs of a sewer leak?
Watch for musty odors, wet or soggy areas in your yard (even when it hasn't rained), slow drains in multiple fixtures (toilets, showers), or a sudden spike in your water bill.
Will you have to dig up my entire yard to fix the leak?
No. Our advanced detection and trenchless repair methods, like pipe lining, mean we can often fix the entire pipe with little to no digging, protecting your landscaping and property.
What is the difference between a sewer leak and a drain clog?
A clog is a blockage (like grease or hair) that typically affects a single drain. A sewer line leak is a structural problem, a crack or break in the pipe, which will cause symptoms like sewer odors, multiple slow drains, or soggy spots in your yard.
How long does a sewer line repair take?
The detection process is often completed in a few hours. The repair timeline depends on the solution. Modern trenchless repairs are often completed in less than a day, which is much faster than traditional excavation.
