Sewer Line Repair & Expert Replacement
Fix It For Good
Sewer Line Problems Solved
Cracks, root intrusions, offsets, and collapses require prompt, professional attention. Badger Plumbing Company handles everything from small spot repairs to full sewer pipe replacement across Fallston and Shelby—diagnosed accurately, repaired to code, and communicated clearly so you know what to expect.
Common Signs of Damage
Frequent backups in multiple fixtures, sewer odors indoors or in the yard, slow drains throughout the home, lush patches of grass, or soggy areas near the line are red flags. Homes along Highway 18 and tree-lined lots in Lawndale and Belwood see these symptoms often—early action keeps costs down.
Our Repair Process, Step by Step
We begin with a sewer camera inspection to pinpoint the issue, record depth, and map the exact repair site. If damage is limited, a section repair may solve it. For severe failures, we plan a full replacement with safe trench excavation, utility marking, permits, and durable new materials—installed to North Carolina code and pressure-tested before backfill.
Replacement & New Installation
Old clay or failing Orangeburg pipes, major offsets, or recurring collapses call for complete line replacement. We also install new sewer lines for additions and new builds, coordinating with your contractor and ensuring proper slope, bedding, and cleanout placement for future maintenance.
Minimizing Disruption at Your Property
Our team works efficiently to reduce downtime. We keep the dig footprint tight, protect adjacent landscaping where possible, and backfill and compact when finished. Need re-landscaping or hardscape repair? We’ll coordinate options and timelines so your yard returns to normal.

Straight Answers on Sewer Repairs
Can you fix my sewer without digging?
If the line is collapsed or severely offset, excavation is the durable fix in our soil conditions. We keep the dig footprint tight and restore the area when finished.
How long does a typical replacement take?
Most residential projects finish in 1–2 days, depending on depth, length, utilities, and access. We provide a clear timeline before work begins.
Do you pull permits and handle utility marking?
Yes. Badger Plumbing Company secures required permits, coordinates 811 utility locates, and follows North Carolina code for bedding, slope, and cleanout placement.
Will landscaping and hardscape be protected?
We protect work areas, remove only what’s necessary, and backfill/compact to grade. If you need re-landscaping or hardscape repair, we’ll coordinate options and timing.
How do you decide between a spot repair and full replacement?
A camera inspection maps damage location and extent. Isolated cracks may be repaired; widespread root intrusion, bellies, or failing clay/Orangeburg usually call for replacement.
What if sewage is backing up now?
Treat it as urgent. Avoid using water and call for immediate help; we’ll stabilize first, then schedule permanent repairs.
What will my project cost?
Costs depend on depth, length, surface restoration, and obstacles (trees, driveways). You’ll receive an upfront, itemized proposal before work begins.
Can I live at home during the repair?
Usually yes. We plan work to minimize downtime and will advise when short water or drain shutdowns are needed.
