Camera on every truck · Recorded video · Upfront pricing · Licensed & insured
A backed-up or broken sewer line is one of the worst problems a home can have, and guessing at the cause gets expensive. Plumb-All starts every sewer job with a camera, so you see exactly what's wrong and where before we quote the repair.
We've repaired sewer lines across South Metro Atlanta since 2003, from our shop in Jonesboro. We can usually be there within 24 hours, and our plumbers are on call 24/7 for sewage backups.
Toilets, tubs and floor drains backing up at the same time point to the main line, not one fixture.
Water coming up in a tub or shower when you flush or run the washer means the line is blocked.
Air pushed back through the drains when water can’t get past a clog or a sag.
If a line has to be cleared every few months, something like roots or a broken section is catching waste.
Odors, lush green strips or wet spots over the line can mean it’s leaking underground.
Older lines and lots with large trees are the most likely to have roots, cracks or sagging pipe.
Sewage coming up in the house? Stop running water and flushing toilets, then call us. More in signs of a main sewer line problem and how to deal with a backed-up sewer line.
We feed a waterproof camera through a cleanout and watch the inside of the line on a live feed. It shows roots, cracks, crushed or separated pipe, sags (bellies) and buildup, without digging.

Schedule a sewer camera inspection
When the camera finds one broken, crushed or bellied section, we dig at that spot and replace just that part of the line.
When the line is failing end to end, we replace the full run from the house to the tap or the septic tank.
We add a cleanout at ground level so the line can be cleared and inspected later without digging.
We replace broken building drains in the crawl space before they reach the yard line.
We clear the line with a sewer machine or hydro-jetter, then run the camera to confirm it’s actually clear.
For basements and fixtures that sit below the sewer line, we install and replace ejector pumps.
Roots and buildup don't always mean digging. Often hydro-jetting or drain cleaning is enough, and the camera tells us which. For the water supply line, see water line repair.
We run the camera through the line and you can watch the feed with us. The video is recorded.
A locator picks up the camera head through the ground, so we mark exactly where and how deep the problem is.
We explain what we found and quote the repair. You approve the price before we dig.
We dig at the marked spot and replace the damaged pipe. Deeper trenches are shored, and our plumbers are OSHA trench safety certified.
We check the flow, run the camera again if needed, and backfill the trench.
If the repair needs a permit, we'll tell you up front, and we can pull it for you.

"They replaced most of the drain line, cutting through our slab and all the way through the yard. Despite the amount of work, they were done on the shorter end of the projected timeline, and they took care to clean and cover everything as well as they could. The work was thorough and the price was fair."
"Ryan and Justin did a wonderful job. They repaired a large hole in our main drain line caused by tree roots. They cleaned up after the work and I will definitely be using them again."
More than one drain backing up at once, a toilet that gurgles when the shower or washer drains, sewage coming up in the lowest drain in the house, a sewer smell in the yard, or a soggy spot over the line. A single slow sink is usually just that drain. Several at once usually means the main line.
Roots growing through joints, cracks and breaks, crushed or collapsed sections, low spots (bellies) where water sits, separated joints, and grease or debris buildup. We locate the camera head from the surface, so we know exactly where and how deep the problem is before anyone digs.
It depends on how long the line is and what we find along the way. We run the camera as far as we need to find the problem, and we record the video.
Usually not. Because the camera shows exactly where the damage is, we dig only at that spot and replace the bad section. If the line is failing end to end, we replace the full run from the house to the tap.
Our plumbers hold OSHA trench safety certification, and we shore deeper trenches so the walls can't cave in while we work.
Yes. If we do the repair, we discount the camera inspection fee.
Yes. We inspect and repair the line between the house and the septic tank, and we can replace it with a new line and a cleanout. For the tank and drain field, see our septic repair service.
Some sewer repairs need one. We tell you up front when a permit is required, and we can pull it for you.
It depends on how deep the line is, how much pipe has to be replaced, and what's on top of it. We find the problem on camera first and give you a firm quote before any digging starts.
