About the Service

Sewer Line Repair, Done Right

Roots, settling, age and breaks all damage sewer lines. We confirm the problem, locate it and dig to expose the damaged section. Where a spot repair will do, we repair it. Where the pipe is failing along its length, we replace it.

We install cleanouts, restore proper slope, bed the pipe and backfill carefully, and we coordinate with the city or utility where the line connects.

Music City Excavation brings sewer line repair to homes, farms and businesses in Nashville and across 16 Middle Tennessee cities.

Good to Know

Questions About Sewer Line Repair

Still have a question?

Call 615-357-7797

How do I know if my sewer line is broken?

Signs include repeated backups, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling, sewage smells and wet or sunken spots in the yard. A camera inspection confirms it.

Can the line be repaired without replacing it?

Sometimes. If damage is limited to one section, a spot repair can do it. If the pipe is failing along its length, replacement usually makes more sense.

Will my yard be torn up?

Digging disturbs the yard. We keep the trench as narrow as the work allows and restore the surface afterward.
