About this service
Sewer Line Repair for Beaverton homes
The sewer line is the single pipe that carries every drop of wastewater from your house to the public main under the street. In Washington County, the public sewer belongs to Clean Water Services, but the line from your house to that main, called the lateral, belongs to you. When it cracks, sags or fills with roots, the problem shows up inside your home as slow drains, gurgling toilets and eventually a backup.
Our sewer line repair service starts with finding exactly where and how the line has failed. A root intrusion near a joint, a crack under the driveway and a section that has settled into a low belly each need a different repair. We explain what we found in plain language and lay out the repair before any digging starts, so there are no surprises in your yard.

Warning signs
Signs You Need Sewer Line Repair
When to call
Call right away if sewage is coming up through a floor drain, tub or toilet, or if every drain in the house has slowed at once. Those are signs the line is close to blocked, and continued water use pushes waste back into your home. Slow drains that are getting gradually worse are worth a call this week, before they turn into a backup.
Mature street trees are one of the most common causes of sewer line trouble we see in Beaverton. Roots are drawn to the moisture inside older pipes and work their way into joints, especially in neighborhoods with big firs and maples.
Talk to a local pro- Several slow drains at onceWhen every drain slows down together, the problem is usually the main line, not one fixture.
- Gurgling toiletsA toilet that bubbles when the tub drains points to trapped air in a partly blocked line.
- Sewage smell in the yardA wet, smelly patch over the sewer line can mean a crack is leaking into the soil.
- Lush strips of lawnA line of greener grass across the yard often follows a leaking sewer pipe.
- Repeat clogsA drain that needs clearing every few months is often hitting roots or a sag further down.
Questions
Sewer Line Repair FAQs
Who is responsible for my sewer line?
In urban Washington County, Clean Water Services maintains the public sewer main. The private line from your house to that main, called the lateral, is the property owner's responsibility.
How do roots get into a sewer line?
Roots are drawn to the moisture inside the pipe and enter through tiny gaps at joints or cracks. Once inside they grow quickly and catch waste, which leads to slow drains and backups.
Do you always have to dig up the yard?
Not always. Some problems, like roots, can be cleared from inside the line. Cracked or collapsed sections usually need to be dug out and replaced, and we explain the options before starting.
Can a sagging sewer line be fixed?
Yes. A low spot, often called a belly, collects waste and causes repeat clogs. The section is dug out and re-laid at the right slope so waste flows downhill again.
