Comprehensive Sewer Services for Cleveland & Northeast Ohio

Northeast Ohio’s older housing stock, much of it built before 1970 with clay, cast iron, or Orangeburg pipe, is particularly vulnerable to root infiltration, joint separation, and corrosion. That makes a thorough camera inspection the essential first step before any repair or replacement decision. We identify exactly what’s wrong before recommending a single dollar of work.

We provide comprehensive sewer solutions, including:

• Sewer Line Inspections: Our video camera inspection technology gives us a clear picture of your sewer line’s condition, locating blockages, leaks, and damaged sections with precision. This determines whether cleaning, spot repair, full repair, or replacement is the right course of action and helps avoid unnecessary costs before any work begins.
• Sewer Line Cleaning: Slow drains, gurgling sounds, and foul odors often point to buildup or blockages in the line. Our plumbers perform thorough sewer line cleaning using hydro jetting and other specialized techniques to clear debris, tree roots, and obstructions and restore proper flow.
• Sewer Line Repairs: Whether your line has cracked, collapsed, or been damaged by tree roots, we’re equipped to handle the repair. From trenchless pipe lining to traditional excavation, we recommend the most suitable approach for your specific situation.
• Sewer Line Replacement: When a line is too far gone for repair, replacement is the right long-term solution. We assess the condition of your existing line and provide reliable replacement options tailored to your property and budget.

Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Attention

The most common culprit is a clog from grease, debris, or a foreign object. But in Cleveland-area homes, tree root infiltration into aging pipe joints, corrosion in cast iron lines, and ground movement from Northeast Ohio’s freeze-thaw cycles are just as frequent causes of sewer problems.

When multiple drains back up at the same time, the issue is usually in the main sewer line rather than a single fixture. It’s also worth knowing that Cleveland homeowners are responsible for the lateral line running from their home to the municipal connection. So a break comes out of pocket. Catching problems early matters.

Other warning signs include:

• Damp spots appearing on walls or floors
• Sewage odors inside your home
• Water backing up in toilets
• Washing machine or dishwasher not draining properly
• Sewage pooling in your yard
• A toilet that runs constantly

If you notice any of these problems, contact Mayes and Sons Plumbing. We can diagnose the issue quickly and provide a detailed estimate for the necessary repairs.

Sewer Repair & Replacement Methods We Use

Every sewer situation is different. We start with a video camera inspection, then recommend the least invasive method that fully solves the problem. Pipe condition, depth, access, and local regulations all factor into that decision.

Trenchless Pipe Lining (CIPP)
Cured-in-place pipe lining inserts a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe and cures it in place, creating a seamless new pipe within the old one. No excavation along the pipe run is required, so your landscaping, driveway, and hardscaping stay intact.

Pipe Bursting
When a pipe is too deteriorated to line, pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through the old one, fracturing the damaged pipe outward as it goes. The line is replaced with minimal digging and without opening a full trench through your yard.

Spot Repair
Not every problem requires replacing the entire line. Spot repair targets a specific damaged section and is a cost-effective option when the rest of the pipe is in good condition.

Directional Boring
When a new sewer line needs to be installed with minimal surface disruption, directional boring creates a path for the new pipe underground without a trench along the full run.

Traditional Excavation
When a pipe has severely collapsed or its condition rules out trenchless options, traditional excavation is the right call. We dig to access and replace the pipe, then restore the area when the work is done.
