Why Your Main Sewer Line Deserves Attention
Your main sewer line isn’t something most homeowners in Oklahoma City, Moore, Edmond, Yukon, Nichols Hills, Warr Acres, or nearby areas think about—until there’s a problem. Hidden underground, this essential part of your plumbing system quietly manages all the wastewater from your home. When it becomes blocked, cracked, or aged beyond repair, the results can be messy and expensive.
That’s where Amped Home Services comes in. We specialize in sewer line inspections, cleanings, and full main sewer line replacements. Prevent costly plumbing emergencies—call us today to schedule an inspection.
When a Main Sewer Line Needs Replacing

Even the best plumbing won’t last forever. With time and exposure to the elements, every main sewer line will eventually require repair or replacement.
Common Reasons for Sewer Line Failure:
-
Aging Pipes: Pipes over 50 years old—especially made of clay or cast iron—are prone to corrosion, cracks, or collapse.
-
Tree Roots: Roots often find their way into pipe joints, causing serious blockages or bursts.
-
Soil Shifting: Oklahoma’s shifting soil can move pipes out of alignment or create breaks.
-
External Weight: Heavy vehicles or equipment can compress and damage the sewer line below.
If you suspect your line is compromised, contact Amped Home Services. Our experienced team can inspect your line using video camera equipment and recommend whether repair or replacement is needed.
Warning Signs of Main Sewer Line Issues
Most homeowners miss early symptoms until the problem becomes urgent. Here’s what to look for:
1. Slow-Draining Fixtures Throughout Your Home
If all your sinks, tubs, and toilets are draining slowly, the issue likely lies with the main sewer line—not individual pipes.
2. Frequent Backups or Flooding
Recurring backups, especially in lower-level drains, are a red flag that your main line may be blocked or broken.
3. Strange Noises from Pipes
Gurgling or bubbling sounds when you flush or run water often signal trapped air due to obstructions.
4. Sewage Odors Indoors or Outdoors
Persistent foul smells can mean raw sewage is leaking from your line.
5. Soggy or Sunken Yard Spots
Unexplained wet patches in your yard, especially near the sewer line path, could indicate a break.
6. Mold and Moisture Indoors
Moisture or mold around baseboards or in lower levels may come from a damaged main sewer line.
Don’t ignore these signs. Contact Amped Home Services for a fast, accurate diagnosis and expert solutions.
Preventing Sewer Line Problems
Routine maintenance can extend the life of your main sewer line and help avoid emergency replacements.
1. Schedule Regular Inspections
Using advanced camera equipment, Amped Home Services can detect early signs of trouble. We recommend annual inspections for older homes or those with large trees nearby.
2. Professional Drain Cleaning
Grease, waste, and minor root growth can all be cleared with high-pressure jetting before they cause a blockage.
3. Be Mindful of What You Flush
Only human waste and toilet paper should go down your toilet. Never flush wipes, paper towels, or grease.
4. Install Root Barriers
If you have trees near your sewer line, a root barrier can help prevent intrusion.
Repair and Replacement Options
If a full replacement becomes necessary, you have several solutions depending on your situation and budget:
1. Traditional Excavation
The most straightforward method involves digging up and replacing the line. While effective, it can disrupt landscaping.
2. Trenchless Sewer Replacement
This modern technique allows us to replace or reline your sewer without major digging, preserving your yard.
3. Spot Repairs
In cases where only a section of the pipe is damaged, we may be able to repair just that portion.
No matter the approach, Amped Home Services will walk you through every option and ensure the repair meets local codes and your long-term needs.
