Most people usually get sticker shock when they learn the cost for replacing a broken sewer main. And while Roto-Rooter tries to offer its customers several options to fit most budgets, sewer repair costs can be expensive. So many customers elect not to repair the broken pipe at all and instead they schedule more plumbing service calls for drain cleaning service each year. They can put off the repairs for a while but over a few years, the cost of the additional drain cleaning service, whether from us or from local plumbing companies, begins to add up. Those only offer a temporary fix.

Additionally, those cracked and broken sewer pipes leak raw sewage into the surrounding soil, which gradually leaches into ground water supplies. That's a cost that all of your neighbors must bear and it's something that more people need to think about. We wouldn't stand for a factory dumping its raw sewage into lakes or streams but we think nothing of allowing millions of residential sewer pipes to leach their contents into the underground water table.

Times are tough to be sure but if you have root intrusion in your pipes, that usually means your pipes are leaking in places. Why not call a licensed plumbing specialist to give you a free, no obligation estimate for repairing your sewer? Or schedule a professional evaluation on-line.
