Every home requires connecting to the local sewage system. Generally, the sewage system is separated into two parts:, the sanitary sewer, and the storm sewer.
The sanitary sewer carries household waste away from homes to be processed by the local sewage treatment center. (It is necessary to treat sewage water to the point where it becomes effluent before releasing it into open bodies of water, otherwise there would be an elevated risk of contamination).
In newer sewage systems, there is also a storm sewer. This sewer directs rainwater through catch basins from roads and pavements, to prevent flooding and water-logging. This water enters an entirely separate pipe than the sewage waste to prevent the sewers from overflowing in urban areas.
While public sewerage infrastructures are the responsibility of your local authority, the parts that connect from your home to these systems need to be maintained by the homeowner. It can be daunting to find out that your sewage pipes have malfunctioned, with the costs and time to complete the sewer line repair work being the main worries.
Thankfully, the helpful team at Bobby Blue Plumbing are experienced with sewage repairs. We offer a wide range of sewer services, including line and trenchless repairs. Sewage pipe faults can be found through a sewer camera inspection, a non-invasive investigative method.

Performing a sewer repair can vary in difficulty depending on the method used.
Before performing a sewer line repair, the first thing that a Bobby Blue Plumber will do is try and diagnose the issue. The most common method of inspection presently is sewer camera inspection. This inspection involves accessing your piping through your pipe cleanout. A long piece of fiber optic cable is inserted and moves to find the blockage or break in the pipe. Viewing the damage is made possible with a small camera located on the end of the fiber optic, coupled with bright LED’s to light the way.
After determining the severity and location of the break, our plumber may then be able to perform a trenchless sewer line repair. The first method is Pipe Bursting, which involves digging two holes on either end of the broken sewage line. The existing piping is used as a guide, where a hydraulic pipe-bursting system then cuts through the existing pipeline while pulling the new piping into place. This work requires much less digging and is also less invasive than digging a trench.
Our service technicians at Bobby Blue Plumbing are experienced in the art of Pipe Bursting. They will be able to determine the location and severity of the issue with you, as well as informing you of the length of time needed to perform the procedure.
