Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Macomb County
Your sewer lateral is the pipe that carries everything from the house to the public sewer. When it cracks, separates at a joint, fills with roots or sags into a low spot, the first signs usually show up inside: several drains slowing down at once, a gurgling toilet, water backing up through the basement floor drain, or a sewer smell. Mansour’s Innovations repairs and replaces sewer lines for homes and businesses across Macomb County.
Every job starts with finding the problem. A sewer camera inspection shows what is wrong and where, and hydro jetting can clear roots, grease and buildup when the pipe itself is still sound. When the pipe is broken, collapsed or failing along its length, we excavate to repair the damaged section or replace the line. Call (586) 345-7292 for a free estimate.
Many Macomb County neighborhoods were built in the decades after World War II, when clay tile and cast iron were the usual sewer pipe materials. Clay joints let roots in, and cast iron can corrode from the inside, so a line that worked for years can start causing backups as it ages.

Sewer Line Services in Macomb County
Sewer Camera Inspection
A camera run through the line shows roots, cracks, offsets, sags and collapsed sections, and where they are.
Hydro Jetting
High-pressure water scours roots, grease and scale off the pipe walls when the line is blocked but still structurally sound.
Spot Repairs
When the damage is in one section, we excavate at that spot and repair it instead of replacing pipe that is still in good shape.
Full Line Replacement
When the line has failed in several places, replacing it is often the better long-term fix.
Excavation & Restoration
We dig where the camera inspection points, then backfill in compacted layers and clean up the work area.
Backwater Valves
A backwater valve can stop sewage from flowing back into the basement when the public sewer backs up during heavy rain.
What Macomb County Property Owners Should Know
Clay soil is hard on old pipe
Most of Macomb County sits on dense clay that holds water and moves with the seasons. As it swells, shrinks and freezes, it can shift older pipe and open the joints, and tree roots follow the moisture into any gap they find.
Who is responsible for the line
In many communities the property owner is responsible for the sewer lateral between the house and the public sewer, and the point where that responsibility ends varies by city. Your city’s water and sewer department can tell you where yours ends.
Heavy rain and basement backups
During big storms the public sanitary sewer can back up, and that water looks for the lowest opening in the house, usually the basement floor drain. A backwater valve is designed to stop that backflow, and it is worth considering whenever the sewer line is opened up for repair.
MISS DIG 811 and permits
Before we excavate, a MISS DIG 811 ticket gets public utility lines located and marked. We handle permits when required.

- More than one drain in the house is slow at the same time.
- Toilets gurgle or bubble when a sink, tub or washer drains.

Our Sewer Line Repair Process
Camera Inspection
We run a sewer camera through the line to find the problem and where it is.
Options Explained
We go over what the camera found and the options, from cleaning to a spot repair to a full replacement.
MISS DIG 811 & Permits
If digging is needed, we put in a MISS DIG 811 ticket so public utility lines are marked, and we handle permits when required.
Repair or Replace
We excavate where the problem is and repair the damaged section or replace the line.
Test & Restore
We run water through the line to check the flow, then backfill in compacted layers and clean up.
