Plumbing — Water & Sewer Lines
Main Water and
Sewer Line Repair.
The lines between the street, the well, the septic tank and your house. When these fail, nothing else in the plumbing matters much.

The Pipe Nobody Thinks About Until It Fails
Every fixture in a house depends on two buried lines: one bringing water in, one taking waste away. They are out of sight for decades, and then one of them fails and the entire house is unusable.
A failing sewer line usually gives warning — repeated main-line clogs, several fixtures backing up together, waste appearing at the lowest drain. A failing water supply line is quieter: pressure that drops gradually, a wet patch in the yard that never dries, or a bill that climbs with no explanation.
These are not small jobs and we will not pretend otherwise. What we will do is tell you accurately what has failed, what the options are, and what each one costs, before anyone brings equipment into your yard.

Signs a Buried Line Is Failing
These are the symptoms worth acting on before the line gives out entirely.
Repeated main-line clogs
A main that needs cabling every few months is not a maintenance problem. Something structural is catching debris — roots, a joint separation, or a section that has begun to collapse.
Multiple fixtures backing up
Toilets, tubs and floor drains misbehaving at the same time means the shared line, not any one fixture. The lowest drain in the house shows it first.
A patch of yard that stays wet
Ground that is soft or unusually green over the line's route, with no rain to explain it. Water or waste is escaping underground.
Pressure falling off over months
Gradually weakening pressure across the whole house points at the supply line losing water between the meter or well and the house.

Wells, Septic and Old Clay
Rural Davie County and outlying Davidson County run heavily on wells and septic systems, which changes the picture. There is no utility to call when the supply line fails — the line from the well to the house is the homeowner's, as is the line out to the septic tank. Both are repairable, and both need somebody who works on them regularly rather than occasionally.
In town, the issue is age. Older Lexington, Thomasville and Winston-Salem properties were connected with clay tile sewer lines laid in sections, and every joint between those sections is an invitation to tree roots. A camera is the difference between replacing a line and repairing six feet of it.

Water & Sewer Lines — Common Questions
How do I know whether the problem is my line or the utility's?
Generally the homeowner owns the line from the meter to the house, and the utility owns the side toward the street — though it varies by municipality. For a sewer, the homeowner usually owns the lateral out to the main. We will help you work out which side of that line the problem is on before you pay for anything.
Does the whole line have to be replaced?
Not always. A single root intrusion at one joint or a short damaged section can often be repaired in place. A line that has deteriorated along its length is a different conversation. A camera inspection is what tells the difference, and it is worth doing before committing to either.
Will my yard be torn up?
Some excavation is usually unavoidable for a line replacement. We keep the footprint as small as the job allows and tell you up front what to expect, including what will need restoring afterwards.
Do you work on lines to a septic tank?
Yes. The line from the house to the tank is plumbing and we repair it. Tank pumping and drain field work are septic-contractor jobs and we will point you to one rather than guess at it.
Can you repair the line from my well to the house?
Yes, and it is routine work for us given how much of Davie County is on wells. That includes the supply line itself, pressure loss diagnosis, and the fittings at both ends.
