Sewage backing into your home is a Category 3 biohazard situation that needs to stop. But the right long-term fix โ clearing, trenchless lining, or excavation โ depends on what's causing it. Masters Plumbing Service uses CCTV cameras in Edgewood to find out exactly what you're dealing with before any repair recommendation is made.

Sewer line repair is expensive enough that you need certainty about what you're repairing and why before any ground is disturbed. Our CCTV-first approach protects you from misdiagnosis and unnecessary excavation costs.
We push a CCTV camera through your sewer line before recommending anything. The footage shows blockage type, joint conditions, pipe material, depth, and structural defects โ precisely located by distance from the cleanout. You see what we see.
Trenchless lining costs significantly less than excavation in most scenarios and preserves landscaping, driveways, and hardscape. Not every sewer failure qualifies โ we tell you honestly when it does and when it doesn't.
Precise camera locating means we dig where the problem is, not speculatively. Post-repair camera confirms grade and joint quality before we close out.
This documentation matters for home sales, insurance claims, and warranty enforcement. We provide it as standard practice on every camera-scope job.
From a simple root clearing to full trenchless lining or spot excavation, our sewer crew in Edgewood, WA has the equipment and certification to execute.
Tree roots enter sewer lines at joint gaps and grow into substantial obstructions that can completely block flow. Our electric root cutter โ a bladed head on a sectional cable machine โ cuts root masses back to the pipe wall, restoring full pipe diameter. We follow with a CCTV re-scope to confirm clearance.

CIPP lining installs a flexible epoxy-saturated felt liner inside the existing pipe. Inflated against the host pipe and cured with hot water or steam, the result is a new, jointless pipe inside the old one โ rated for 50+ years of service life.
New pipe โ typically SDR-35 PVC at code-specified depth and grade โ is installed with proper joint couplings, backfilled, and surface-restored. Post-repair camera confirms grade and joint integrity.
Camera inspection reports are accepted by real estate attorneys, home buyers, and insurers as documented evidence of drain system condition. If you're buying or selling a home in Edgewood, a pre-purchase drain scope is one of the best investments you can make.

Active sewage backup into a structure is an emergency requiring immediate response. We dispatch, clear the blockage to restore drain function, document the affected area, and schedule the camera scope to assess underlying cause โ same-day or at the earliest opportunity.
A maintenance record documenting each cleaning and camera finding is useful evidence for insurance claims and demonstrates proactive maintenance if a catastrophic failure occurs.
No guessing, no speculative excavation. Every sewer repair we do in Edgewood, WA starts with camera footage and ends with a documented, inspected result.
Tell our dispatcher what you're experiencing โ backed-up fixtures, gurgling drains, sewage smell โ so we arrive prepared with the right equipment.
You watch the footage with the technician. We point out each observation and explain what it means for repair options before presenting any quote.
For trenchless vs. excavation decisions, we lay out cost difference, disruption difference, and long-term outcome expectation for each option so you can make an informed choice.
Approved repairs proceed. After completion, we run the camera again to document the repaired state. For lining jobs, the post-cure scope confirms liner adhesion and full internal diameter. For excavation repairs, the scope confirms grade and joint quality.
Main sewer backed up on a Saturday. Masters Plumbing Service came out within 2 hours, cleared the blockage with a cable machine, then ran the camera. Found root intrusion at three clay tile joints between 22 and 46 feet from the cleanout. Presented trenchless lining vs. spot excavation with pricing for both. I chose lining โ completed Monday, camera confirmed sealed joints, permits closed the following week.
We bought an older home in Edgewood and wanted the sewer scoped before closing. Masters Plumbing Service ran the full line, found an offset joint at 58 feet creating a partial obstruction and some root infiltration at three additional joints. Written report in hand, we negotiated a $4,200 repair credit from the sellers before closing. The scope paid for itself many times over.
Commercial building where two prior companies told us we needed full excavation at $28,000. Masters Plumbing Service scoped it, found root intrusion and joint cracking but no pipe collapse, and quoted trenchless lining at roughly a third of that cost. Lining completed in two days. Post-cure scope confirmed excellent adhesion. The camera diagnosis saved us a significant amount of money.
