Collapsed Sewer Line Repair

In Meridian, ID, where most laterals are PVC, a full collapse is less common than a sag, or belly: a settled section that holds water and waste. Signs include clogs that return soon after cleaning, standing water on camera, or a dip in the lawn over the line.

How sags and collapses are fixed
A plumber typically confirms the low spot and its length on camera, then digs to re-bed or replace that section, or replaces the whole run. Lining is usually not suited to a crushed or badly sagging pipe.

Keeping the new section level
Firm bedding and compaction under the pipe help prevent a new belly. Ask about the R-EXC excavation permit, and have someone call 811 (Digline) before digging.

Ask about a sagging sewer line and say how often the line clogs and what the camera showed.
