Your home’s sewer line is understandably not something that you think about every day, but it plays a critical role in your daily life. Because it is responsible for carrying wastewater out of your home, it impacts health, hygiene and even property condition. Unfortunately, many Akron residents have to deal with a damaged sewer line from time to time. At Buddy’s Plumbing Excellence in Akron, we are proud to be your fixed-right-the-first-time-plumbers.

I called Plumbing Excellence for a second opinion. Jocelyn answered the phone and was very pleasant and helpful. She got me on the schedule the very next morning. The technician, Justin, arrived on time and ran the camera, identified the issue AND the location, and only charged me the $89 service call fee. The issue is not under my basement but in the yard and won't require them to tear up my basement floor. The estimate was very reasonable for the size of the job. They also gave me a narrated video of the camera work that explained the issue and what needed to be fixed.
I was very pleased with my experience with Plumbing Excellence. I highly recommend them. They will be getting my plumbing business from now on.
After speaking with the manager, he explained that it's routine for them to give additional options for appliances and services. The technician quoted me an electric anode rod install and membership.
It did make me feel a little overwhelmed by the price after these quotes, so I did decline them. I think it would be a better approach to print out pamphlets or email them to customers to review and look into upgraded parts or options. That way they can do their own research and decide if they want to go with them before spending the extra money.
I do recommend this company if you have plumbing needs, and the manager said he will take my advice about the pamphlets and look into doing that.
Signs of a Sewer Line Problem
Sewer lines are subject to a variety of problems. For example, the pipes can crack or leak. They can also collapse or get clogged. Depending on the type of damage to your sewer line, you might notice that your toilet doesn’t fill up as much as it used to after flushing. The water may drain out of your sinks, tubs and shower basins more slowly than usual. In some cases, the water may stop draining at all, or sewer water could flow backward into your home. You might hear strange, gurgling sounds inside the walls or from the toilets. In addition, sewage waste could puddle in your front yard, or you might smell sewage waste inside or outside of your home. These are all signs that immediate sewer line repair services are needed.
Sewer Line Repair Services for Your Akron Home
You will never wait long for our plumbers to arrive at your home. Once we arrive, we will utilize advanced camera inspection tools and other technologies to pinpoint the location of the problem and identify the root cause of the issue. We’ll provide you with a recommended best course of action and provide you with the repair cost upfront. Depending on the issue, we might dig a small trench in your yard to access the sewer line and make the repair. Otherwise, we can utilize a trenchless repair technique that allows us to address cracks and leaks without digging a hole. If the sewer line is clogged, we will use hydro-jetting to clean the entire length of the pipe.
How to Prevent Sewer Line Damage
Everything from growing tree roots underground and natural ground movement to flushing the wrong items down the drain can cause sewer line issues. On a daily basis, you can prevent sewer line damage by avoiding washing oil, grease, coffee grounds, banana peels, potato peels and other problematic items down the drain. In addition, don’t flush paper towels or feminine products down the toilet. Only flush human waste and toilet paper. Avoid planting trees and bushes near your sewer line. From time to time, your plumbing system needs to be maintained. This includes regular sewer line inspections and drain cleaning. These steps can identify and address developing problems before they become problematic.
