Our specialized excavation and sewer crews recently completed a localized sewer line repair and a full system diagnostic run for a home in Manteno, IL. Here is a look behind the scenes at how our team restored proper flow and secured the mainline: - Excavation & Sewer Line Replacement We excavated down to the sewer main in the yard of the property to expose the problem area. Once accessed, our crew carefully removed the failing section of the line and replaced a 5-foot stretch with heavy-duty PVC piping. To ensure a completely secure transition that resists soil shifting and root intrusion, we tied onto the existing pipe utilizing professional-grade, non-shear Fernco couplings. - Code-Compliant Clean-Out Integration During the line repair, we integrated an appropriately sized system clean-out assembly into the sewer run, leaving a secure access point right above grade. This ensures the homeowner has effortless, convenient access for future maintenance or inspections without requiring invasive digging. Structural Stone Bedding & Mainline Rodding Per professional plumbing standards, we fully embedded the new sewer repair section in clean crushed stone bedding to provide long-term structural stability. Before closing up the system, we rodded the sewer line using a full-size mechanical cutter to clear out any surrounding tree roots or debris restrictions. Post-Repair CCTV Camera Inspection To ensure absolute peace of mind, we ran a specialized sewer camera inspection (televising) through the remaining line. We verified the flow integrity both back toward the house and all the way out toward the city main, confirming a fully clear, leak-free system. We wrapped up the project by backfilling the trench with native soil, leaving it mounded properly to allow for natural settling over time.
