Your sewer line is the one pipe you never think about — until it backs up. When it does, it affects your whole Houston home at once. Hugo Plumbing diagnoses sewer problems accurately with camera inspection and fixes them with the least disruption possible.
Signs of a Sewer Line Problem
- Multiple drains backing up at the same time
- Gurgling toilets or water rising in a tub when you run the washer
- Sewage smells inside or in the yard
- Soggy or unusually green patches in the lawn
- Slow drains throughout the house, not just one fixture
Camera Inspection First
We start with a video camera inspection of your line. This shows us the exact location and cause of the problem — roots, a break, a belly, or collapse — so the repair is targeted instead of guesswork. It also gives you proof of what’s actually happening underground.
Repair Methods
Depending on what we find, we’ll recommend the right approach:
- Spot repair for a localized break or root intrusion.
- Trenchless repair or replacement where conditions allow — far less digging and yard damage.
- Full replacement for lines that are collapsed or beyond their service life.
Built for Houston Conditions
Mature trees, decades-old cast iron and clay pipe, and shifting clay soil make sewer issues especially common in older Houston neighborhoods. Our team has seen it all, and we’ll give you a straight answer and an honest quote before any work begins.
Frequently Asked Questions
What causes sewer line problems in Houston?
The most common causes here are tree-root intrusion, aging cast iron and clay pipe, and ground shifting from our expansive clay soil. A camera inspection tells us exactly which one you're dealing with.
Do you have to dig up my whole yard?
Not always. Where the pipe condition allows, trenchless methods can repair or replace lines with minimal digging. After a camera inspection we'll tell you honestly whether trenchless is an option for your situation.
