Our Sewer Cleaning Services
Hydro Jetting
Hair, feminine products, roots, and grease can roll up into a large obstruction in your sewer line. When this happens, full pipe replacement may not be needed. Instead, clearing away the clog should be the priority. Hydrojetting uses high-pressured water—instead of pipe-eroding chemicals—to punch through root balls and other obstructions. By smashing things up into easier to pass pieces, your drains can get back to their job.
Relining
If the issue is mild, we often suggest relining the sewer line. This involves snaking a balloon down the pipe that’s coated in a special layer of epoxy. We then used compressed air to expand the balloon. The outer coating then forms a secondary pipe inside of the affected area. Though this can narrow the existing pipe, it’s often more than enough to end the leak.
Pipe Bursting
When your pipes are beyond saving but a trench repair isn’t needed, pipe bursting is a great option. Using a cone-shaped bit and high-pressure water, our plumbers will destroy the damaged pipe. At the same time, they’ll push a pipe of the same or similar size into the gap left behind.
Trench Repair
In some cases, digging up the pipe is the only way to fix a sewer pipe in Jackson area. When that’s the case, we’ll do our best to minimize upheaval to your property. This includes targeting our digging to the affected area and working with professional excavating contractors.

Signs You Need Sewer Repair
Signs You Need Sewer Cleaning
In the Jackson area, we’ve seen the results of an undiagnosed sewer problem time and time again. And, there’s good reason sewer issues go unnoticed. The signs of a sewer problem are often subtle. They persist undetected for years until a catastrophic failure makes them impossible to ignore. Below are the most common signs of a sewer problem
These telltale signs include:
- Patches of your yard are uncharacteristically lush or green
- Bubbling or gurgling noises crop up when you flush the toilet or drain the tub
- The smell of sewage permeates your home or yard
- Parts of your plumbing back up on a regular basis
- Areas of your yard are always wet and squishy without explanation
The Root Of Your Sewer Problems
The Root Of Your Sewer Problems
Many of our customers are surprised by the sudden need for sewer line repair. They aren’t sure why it happened to them and feel singled out. But, rest assured, in almost all cases, one of the following is to blame for a persistent or sudden sewer problem:
- Tree Roots: Plants are always on the hunt for new sources of water. Unfortunately, this can lead them to extend to and through your sewer pipes. Over time, these roots can form a clog and restrict the transport of waste or water. Though hydrojetting can remove these obstructions, replacing the damaged pipe is often recommended.
- Temperature Changes: When severe heat or cold hit, the ground shifts in response. This movement can disconnect old pipes and allow waste water to leak into your yard or foundation. Unfortunately, reconnecting these sewer line separations often means digging up the pipes in question.
- Age: Old pipes are more prone to leaking and cracks. As metal ages, it develops rust, bends, and weak spots. Eventually, these elements will fail, resulting in leaks and back-ups. Heavy reliance on chemical drain cleaners can speed up this deterioration.

How Can I Tell if I Have a Leak?
A lot of plumbing problems are easy to spot, but leaks have a tendency to go unnoticed. This is because they often start small and can go unnoticed for months or years. They can also hide under floors, above ceilings, and behind walls, making them more challenging to find. Here are a few signs you may have a leak:
- Rapidly climbing water bills
- Your water meter ticks even when you aren’t using water
- A musty smell or signs of mold become visible
- Discoloration and dampness occurs near tubs and toilets
If you see any of these signs, don’t panic. Call Aspen Plumbing at (517) 750-9913 and schedule an appointment instead!
