Every drain stopped at once? Call your utility first.
When the whole building stops draining, the blockage may be in the public sewer, not your pipe. Utilities clear their own lines. The City of Sarasota says it does this at no charge, and that it is not obligated to reimburse a plumber called before the City.
So when you call us, we ask which fixtures are affected before we send anyone. If it sounds like the utility's line, we will tell you who to call.

How a sewer job works with us
The same four steps whether it is a root-filled joint or a full replacement.
Tell us what is happening
Which drains are affected, since when, and where the property is. We tell you if it sounds like a clog, a pipe problem or the utility side.
See inside the pipe
We clear the line if needed and run a camera through it, recording the footage and marking any defect's location and depth.
Choose from written options
Repair, lining, bursting or replacement, with what each fixes, what it does not, and what restoration is included.
Repair, verify, restore
Permits and Sunshine 811 locates first, then the work, a camera check of the finished pipe and the agreed restoration.
What you can expect from us
We would rather earn your trust with how we work than with slogans. These are the commitments behind every job.
- You see what we see. Camera footage and a written summary, including the parts of the pipe that are fine.
- The smallest fix that lasts. If one section is bad, we price a section repair, not a whole new line.
- Straight answers about the utility side. If the problem is in the public sewer, we say so and stop.
- Permits and locates handled. We confirm what your address needs and call Sunshine 811 before digging.
- Restoration in writing. The estimate says what goes back: sod, concrete, pavers, irrigation.

Questions we hear often
What is the difference between sewer line repair and replacement?
Repair fixes a specific damaged section, such as a crack, root-filled joint or sag. Replacement installs a new line from the house to the connection. A camera inspection shows which one your line needs. Read more about how to decide.
Do you do trenchless sewer repair?
Yes, both pipe lining and pipe bursting where the pipe qualifies. Some problems, such as sags and collapsed sections, need excavation. See trenchless sewer repair.
Should I call the City or County before calling you?
If most or all fixtures stopped at the same time, yes. The blockage may be in the public line, which the utility clears. See who to call for a sewer backup.
Do you give prices over the phone?
We can describe the likely type of work, but honest prices depend on what the camera shows, how deep the pipe is and what is above it. We put prices in a written estimate.
Which areas do you serve?
Sarasota and nearby Sarasota County communities, including Siesta Key, Gulf Gate, Palmer Ranch, Fruitville and the Sarasota County side of Lakewood Ranch. See the full ZIP code list.
Do you install sewer lines for new homes and septic-to-sewer conversions?
Yes. See sewer line installation. Septic tank pumping and abandonment are separately regulated, and we explain how that part is handled.
