Our Excavation Guarantee
When open excavation is the right approach, we don’t cut corners on the restoration. We stand behind the work we do: we restore the disturbed area as close to its original condition as reasonably possible and we don’t leave a job site in worse shape than we found it.
If something isn’t right with our excavation work after we’ve finished, call us and we’ll make it right. That commitment is part of every job, not an add-on.
Call (618) 343-9899What Causes Sewer Line Problems in Collinsville
Sewer lines fail for a variety of reasons, and knowing the cause matters for choosing the right repair:
- Settlement and shifting soil, which can cause pipes to crack, separate at joints, or sag in ways that disrupt flow, particularly in older homes where the ground has had decades to move
- Storm damage, where significant weather events move enough soil around buried lines to cause cracks or displacement, especially in clay-heavy soil that expands and contracts with moisture changes
- Tree root intrusion, which spreads aggressively through any small crack or joint gap in search of water and nutrients
- Age and corrosion in older materials like cast iron and clay tile, which have finite lifespans and deteriorate over decades of use
- Grease and debris buildup that isn’t addressed through routine cleaning and eventually creates conditions for pipe damage or failure
Our Sewer Repair and Replacement Process
We don’t guess at sewer problems. Here’s how we work through them:
Camera inspection first. Before any repair decisions are made, we run a camera through your sewer line to see exactly what’s happening. You’ll know what we found before we recommend anything.
A clear plan before we start. Once we know what we’re dealing with, we explain our recommended approach, including what the work involves, what it will cost, and why we’re recommending it over alternatives. No work begins until you approve it.
Testing before we leave. Whether the job calls for a targeted repair, trenchless rehabilitation, or full replacement, we verify the results before we consider the job done. You’ll know the line is clear and functioning before we leave.

Trenchless Sewer Repair in Collinsville, IL
When the situation allows for it, we use trenchless methods rather than open excavation. Trenchless sewer repair accesses your line through existing cleanout points rather than digging a trench along the full length of the pipe. For eligible repairs, this means significantly less disruption to your landscaping, driveway, or hardscaping.
Two common trenchless approaches we use:
- Pipe lining, where a flexible resin-coated liner is inserted into the existing pipe and cured in place to form a new pipe within the old one, working well for cracked or corroded pipes that are still structurally intact enough to serve as a host
- Pipe bursting, where a new pipe is pulled through the existing line while a bursting head simultaneously fractures and displaces the old pipe outward, replacing it entirely rather than lining it
We’ll tell you which method is appropriate for your situation, or whether conventional excavation is the better call, after the camera inspection.
Sewer Repair and Replacement FAQs
How do I know if I need sewer cleaning or actual sewer repair?
Cleaning handles buildup and blockages inside an otherwise intact pipe. Repair is necessary when the pipe itself is cracked, displaced, collapsed, or infiltrated by roots to the point where cleaning alone won’t solve the problem. A camera inspection is the only reliable way to tell the difference, which is why we start there on every job.
What is trenchless sewer repair and is my home eligible?
Trenchless repair fixes or replaces your sewer line with minimal digging by accessing the pipe through existing cleanouts and using specialized equipment to work from inside the line. Eligibility depends on the condition and configuration of your existing pipe. After the camera inspection, we’ll tell you which method is appropriate for your specific situation.
Should I repair or replace my sewer line?
Minor or localized damage usually warrants repair. Extensive deterioration, a pipe with a long history of repeated issues, or material that’s well past its expected lifespan often makes replacement the more cost-effective long-term decision. We’ll give you an honest assessment and the reasoning behind our recommendation after we’ve seen the line.
How long does sewer repair typically take?
Minor repairs can sometimes be completed in a few hours. More extensive work or full replacements can take several days depending on the scope and method. After the camera inspection, we’ll give you a realistic timeline before any work begins.
How much does sewer repair or replacement cost?
Cost varies based on the length of pipe involved, the repair method used, and the extent of the damage. After the camera inspection you’ll receive a detailed, accurate estimate specific to your situation. No surprises and no work started without your sign-off.
Don’t Let the Bill Be the Barrier
Sometimes a repair catches you off guard, and sometimes you’ve been planning a upgrade for a while. Either way, the cost shouldn’t be what stands between you and a home that’s safe and running right.
Embrich has partnered with GreenSky, GoodLeap, and Service Finance Company to offer flexible payment plans with fast approvals and options that fit a range of budgets and credit situations.
