Camera inspection
A small camera rides the pipe from a cleanout and records joints, sags, roots and breaks along the way. Its footage settles whether the line needs clearing, a patch or a full replacement.
Sewer Line Repair in Rowlett
Water backing up in a tub, drains that gurgle and a patch of yard that stays wet are all reasons to have a sewer line looked at. Call us, describe it, and the plumber who takes the call offers a free estimate for the inspection and the repair.
The repair options come first, then who looks after which part of Rowlett’s sewer system and what the city’s permit rule means for the job.
Sewer repair options
Clearing roots
Where roots have pushed into the pipe, a cutter trims them from inside. A second camera pass afterward shows whether the pipe underneath held up or cracked.
Repairing one section
A single break or sag in the camera footage means that one stretch is dug up and replaced, with the good pipe on both sides left in place.
Replacing the line
Several breaks, or a line that has shifted out of line, mean replacing it from end to end, house to connection.
Rowlett’s sewer system
Rowlett’s Wastewater Division maintains the collection system and its lift stations, and the City of Garland treats all of the wastewater Rowlett produces.
Permits for sewer work
The permit Rowlett Building Safety asks for on any type of plumbing applies to sewer work. Rowlett Building Safety’s page names no separate sewer permit, and the permit and its inspections are both requested through MyGov.
When your house was built
Open the sewer line age checker and it starts from 1997, the median build year in Rowlett, meaning half of the homes in town went up in or before that year. Put your own year in the box and the result updates.
A drain that is slow inside the house can be a sewer problem in disguise, and drain cleaning covers that end. Supply pipes are a separate system with their own page on repiping, and the homepage lists the rest.
