Modern Sewer Solutions That Protect Your Property

Traditional sewer repairs used to mean one thing: dig up the yard, tear out the driveway, and spend days restoring the landscaping after the pipe was fixed. That approach is costly, invasive, and often unnecessary. Drain Medic / RX Plumbing offers modern trenchless sewer repair solutions that restore your underground lines from the inside out, with far less disruption to your property.

Here is how our advanced sewer repair methods work:

Pipe lining (CIPP) – Cured-in-place pipe lining involves inserting a flexible, resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe and curing it in place to create a smooth, durable inner wall. The result is a fully restored pipe within the existing one, with no excavation required. CIPP lining is effective on cracked, corroded, or root-damaged lines and can add decades of service life to an aging sewer system.
Pipe bursting – When a sewer line is too deteriorated to be lined effectively, pipe bursting offers a trenchless replacement option. A bursting head is pulled through the existing pipe, fracturing it outward while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into place behind it. The old line is replaced with minimal excavation at the entry and exit points only.
Descaling – Mineral deposits and heavy scale buildup inside older cast iron and galvanized drain lines reduce flow capacity over time and accelerate corrosion. Our mechanical descaling process removes that buildup from the interior pipe walls, restoring full flow diameter and extending the usable life of lines that are structurally sound but heavily scaled.
Hydro jetting for sewer lines – High-pressure water jetting is one of the most effective ways to clear grease, scale, root debris, and compacted material from sewer lines before lining or as a standalone maintenance treatment. It clears the full interior circumference of the pipe rather than punching through the blockage.

These methods save significant time, protect your landscaping and hardscaping, and in most cases cost less overall than traditional excavation-based repairs. Drain Medic / RX Plumbing assesses your line condition with a camera before recommending any method, so the solution always matches what the pipe actually needs.

Signs Your Drain or Sewer System Needs Attention

Drain and sewer problems rarely announce themselves with a single obvious event. More often they show up as a pattern of smaller, easy-to-ignore symptoms that build over time. Catching them early gives you options. Waiting until the system fully fails takes those options away.

Here are the warning signs worth taking seriously:

Drains that are consistently slow across multiple fixtures in the home
Gurgling sounds coming from toilets or drains after water is used elsewhere
Foul sewage odors inside the home or around the yard
Water backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains when other fixtures are used
Patches of unusually lush or soggy ground in your yard above the sewer line
Recurring clogs in the same drain despite repeated clearing
Toilets that bubble, fluctuate, or seem sluggish without explanation
Cracks in your foundation or settlement near your slab that could indicate underground line movement
A water meter that moves when all fixtures are off, pointing to an active leak in the line

If any of these sound familiar, the problem is worth having a professional look at before it gets worse. Drain Medic / RX Plumbing will run a camera through your lines, tell you exactly what we find, and give you a clear, honest recommendation on what to do next. No pressure, no overselling, just the facts so you can make the right call for your property.
