Whether the problem is tree roots, mineral buildup, aging pipe or a broken sewer lateral, prompt repairs can restore proper flow and help prevent more extensive damage. Herr uses advanced camera inspections and trenchless repair techniques to find the problem and recommend the most effective solution.

Our experienced crews will determine whether your sewer needs routine maintenance or replacement.
Many sewer laterals installed before 1985 were constructed with clay tile, concrete or cast-iron pipe. While durable for their time, these materials become more susceptible to problems as they age.
Deteriorating clay and concrete pipes, installed in short sections can allow tree root intrusion. Upon entering, roots can impede wastewater flow and cause blockages.
As cast iron sewer lines age, their interior surfaces roughen, causing grease, toilet paper and debris to accumulate. Mineral buildup can narrow pipes and cause recurring blockages.
Camera inspections show sewer line issues without unnecessary digging. Our high-definition cameras can show:
