Sewer Line Repair & Camera Inspection in Manchester, NH

Quick answer

Camera inspection, repair, and replacement of the sewer lateral from the house to the street, the pipe every drain in the home depends on.

Sewer service here carries the city's defining fact, stated in local operator copy: roughly half of Manchester is on a combined sewer system, so heavy rain can back wastewater up through basement floor drains in the combined districts. Alongside surcharge sits the private half of the system, the clay lateral from house to street, with root intrusion at the joints. Camera inspection decides which of the two systems produced your backup, and they have different owners and different fixes.

Signs you need sewer line repair & camera inspection

Repeat main line clogs that return within months of clearing
Tree roots found on the cable, again
A section of yard that stays green, soft, or sunken over the line
Sewer odor in the yard or at the lowest fixtures
An old clay or cast iron line that has never been inspected

What the job involves

1. A camera runs the line first, with the recording located by depth and distance: roots, cracks, joint offsets, bellies, and scale are findings you can watch.

2. The options are priced from the footage: spot repair at one joint, lining where the pipe is sound enough to host it, or replacement where it is not.

3. Excavation is scoped honestly: depth, surface (lawn, driveway, street), and restoration are named in the written price.

4. The line is re-camerad after work where the job calls for proof, and the recording is yours.

5. You are told what the rest of the line looks like, not just the repaired section, so the next decade has no surprises in it.

What affects the price

Camera inspection itself: $125 to $500 in published guides, often credited or bundled with repair
Spot repair versus full lateral replacement, the widest spread in plumbing pricing
Depth and surface over the line; a line under a driveway is a different job from a line under lawn
Pipe material and condition along the whole run, not only at the failure

When it is an emergency

A full sewage backup into living space is the emergency version of this page: call today, keep out, and do not run water anywhere in the house until the line is assessed. A camera inspection on a line that clogs twice a year is planned work that pays for itself in decisions.
