Fix the line, not the symptom
Sewer Line Repair and Drain Repiping
Failing drains and sewer lines repaired or repiped. We replace the bad waste line instead of band-aiding the symptom.
When the same drain keeps backing up, the problem is usually the line, not the clog of the week. Tanks Water Heaters and Plumbing repairs damaged sewer lines and repipes failing waste lines across Reno, Sparks and the surrounding area, so the problem ends for good.
We do not do routine drain snaking. If you need a simple clog cleared, a drain cleaning service is the right call. When the pipe itself is broken, sagging, corroded or root damaged, call us.
What's included
- Sewer line repair
- Waste line repiping
- Full drain system replacement
- The line fixed — for good
When a drain problem is really a line problem
These signs point to a damaged or failing drain or sewer line rather than a one-time clog:
- Backups that come back weeks after the drain was cleared
- Several fixtures draining slowly at once, or water coming up in a tub when the toilet flushes
- Gurgling drains and sewer smells inside the house
- Soggy spots or unusually green patches in the yard over the sewer line
- Sewage at a floor drain or cleanout
Sewer line repair
Once we find the damaged section, we repair or replace it with new pipe so wastewater flows the way it should. Emergency sewer repairs are handled 24 hours a day. When one failure is a sign of a line that is failing everywhere, we will tell you and give you the option of replacing the full drain system instead of paying for repairs one section at a time.
Waste line repiping and full drain replacement
Inside the house, old waste lines corrode, crack and lose slope. We repipe failing waste lines and replace complete drain systems for homes and commercial buildings. You see what we found, you get the price before work starts, and the work area is cleaned up when we are done.
Older and newer homes across the Truckee Meadows
Older neighborhoods in Reno and Sparks have drain and sewer lines that have been in the ground for decades, and older materials like cast iron and clay can corrode, crack or let roots in at the joints. Newer subdivisions have their own problems, like settled or poorly sloped lines. Either way, the fix is the same: find the failed section and replace it properly.

Drain & Sewer Repair: common questions
Do you do drain cleaning or snaking?
No. We do not do routine snaking. We repair and replace damaged drain and sewer lines. If a drain keeps backing up after it has been cleared, that is usually a line problem, and that is when to call us.
How do I know if my sewer line is damaged?
Repeated backups, several slow drains at once, gurgling, sewer smells and soggy spots in the yard are the common signs. We find the failed section and show you before recommending a repair.
Can you replace just part of a sewer line?
Yes, when the rest of the line is in good shape. If the line is failing in several places, we will give you the option of replacing it rather than paying for one repair after another.
Is a sewer backup an emergency?
Yes. Stop using water in the house and call us any hour at (775) 997-8071.
