Why Cheshire chooses Drain Wizard for sewer repair
Cheshire's sewer stock is a mix of 1920s-40s clay laterals in the historic center, cast iron and Orangeburg from the postwar building boom, and PVC in the newer West Cheshire and Mountain Road subdivisions. Each fails differently — clay cracks and roots in, Orangeburg deflates into an oval, and even PVC can belly on shallow bedding. We camera first, locate the fault to the foot, and only recommend digging what actually has to be dug.

Cheshire sewer repair FAQs
How do I know if I need sewer repair or just cleaning?+
If the same line clogs more than once or twice a year, has visible cracks or offset joints on camera, or backs up during heavy rain, you're dealing with a pipe problem rather than a clog problem. The camera makes it obvious.
What is PipePatch and when does it make sense in Cheshire?+
PipePatch is a fiberglass sleeve seated over the damaged section from a cleanout — no yard trench. It's ideal when the fault is a single crack or short offset in an otherwise sound Cheshire clay or cast iron line.
Do I need a permit to replace a sewer line in Cheshire?+
Yes. Sewer work in Cheshire requires a town plumbing permit and inspection. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection and hand you the paperwork at close-out.
Will you have to dig up the whole yard?+
Usually not. Trenchless and PipePatch options limit excavation to small access pits, and even traditional digs get restored carefully. We walk the plan with you before anything starts.
How long does a sewer repair take?+
PipePatch spot repairs are typically same-day. Full trenchless replacements are usually 1-2 days on site. Traditional excavations depend on depth and length but usually run 2-4 days including restoration.
