Lining is often viable for cracked or root-damaged pipe that hasn't fully collapsed.
A root-cutting head clears the blockage, then the line is reassessed for structural damage the roots may have caused.
Full replacement is reserved for lines beyond repair — we'll always explain why lining isn't viable first.
We prioritize stopping the active backup first, then diagnose the root cause afterward.
Recurring backups on an otherwise sound line often just need scheduled jetting to stay clear.
