OUR FAQS

Frequently Asked Questions

What sewer services does Flowline Excavating provide?

Flowline Excavating provides sewer line repair, sewer line replacement, new sewer line installation, backwater valve installation and sewer excavation services across Central Ohio.

How do I know if my sewer line is broken?

Common signs of a broken sewer line include sewage backing up into the basement, slow drains, sewer odors, wet or sunken spots in the yard, repeated clogs or an inspection showing cracks, roots or collapsed pipe.

Can a sewer line be repaired instead of replaced?

Sometimes, yes. If the damage is limited to one area, a repair may be possible. If the line is old, collapsed, damaged in multiple places or causing repeated problems, replacement may be the better long-term option.

Does sewer line repair require excavation?

Many sewer line repairs and replacements require excavation to access the damaged pipe. The amount of digging depends on the location, depth and condition of the sewer line.

Does Flowline install backwater valves?

Yes. Flowline Excavating provides backwater valve installation as part of our sewer services.

What does a backwater valve do?

A backwater valve helps reduce the risk of sewage flowing back into your home. It allows wastewater to move out while helping prevent reverse flow during certain backup situations.

Do you replace underground sewer lines?

Yes. Flowline Excavating provides underground sewer line replacement services for homeowners, property owners, HOAs and local businesses across Central Ohio.

Waterline Repair & Replacement in Central Ohio

Sewer Line Repair

A damaged sewer line does not always mean the whole line has to be replaced. In some cases, the issue may be limited to a specific area that can be uncovered and repaired.
‍
Flowline Excavating can help expose the problem area, complete the needed excavation work and restore the area as carefully as possible once the repair is complete.
‍
Customers may call for sewer line repair when they notice:
Sewage backing up into the basement
Slow drains throughout the home
Sewer odors around the property
Wet or sunken areas in the yard
A known break in the sewer line
Recurring sewer problems
Tree root damage
A collapsed or damaged underground pipe
‍
Sewer issues can feel overwhelming, especially when the source of the problem is underground. Our goal is to make the process clear, manageable and handled with care.

Sewer Line Replacement

Sometimes a sewer line is too old, damaged or unreliable to keep repairing. When replacement is the better long-term solution, Flowline Excavating can help remove or replace the failing line and install a dependable sewer connection.
‍
Sewer line replacement may be needed when:
The existing sewer line is cracked, collapsed or deteriorating
The pipe has repeated backups or recurring problems
Tree roots have caused serious damage
The line has shifted or settled underground
Older pipe materials are no longer reliable
A repair would not solve the larger issue
‍
Replacing a sewer line is a big project for most property owners, and we understand that. Adam and the Flowline team focus on clear communication so you know what is happening, what to expect and how the job will move forward.

Flowline Excavating also provides new sewer line installation for homes, property improvements, utility work, additions and other projects that require underground sewer service.

More information

Backwater Valve Installation

A backwater valve can help protect your home from sewer backups by allowing wastewater to flow out while helping prevent sewage from flowing back into the home.
‍
Flowline Excavating provides backwater valve installation as part of our sewer services. This can be especially important for properties that have dealt with basement backups or are at higher risk during heavy rain events or system overloads.
‍
A backwater valve may be worth discussing if:
You have had sewage back up into the basement
Your home sits in an area with sewer backup concerns
You want added protection against future sewer issues
A plumber, inspector or municipality has recommended one
You are already having sewer excavation work completed
‍
If you are not sure whether a backwater valve makes sense for your property, we can talk through the situation and help you understand your options.

Signs You May Have a Sewer Line Problem

Sewer problems can show up in different ways. Some are obvious, while others start small and get worse over time.
‍
You may need sewer service if you notice:
Sewage backing up into the basement
Multiple drains moving slowly
Gurgling sounds from drains or toilets
Sewer odors inside or outside the home
Wet, sunken or unusually green areas in the yard
Repeated clogs or backups
Water coming up through floor drains
Known damage to an underground sewer line
‍
A sewer inspection showing cracks, roots or collapsed pipe
If you are seeing any of these signs, it is worth getting the issue looked at before it becomes worse.
