Camera inspection
The repair is planned from what the camera shows as it travels along the pipe, whether that is cracks, offset joints, roots or a clog.
Sewer Line Repair in Hoboken
Sewer line repair begins with finding out what is wrong with the pipe that carries waste from your building to the public sewer. From there the fix can be root cutting, a spot repair or a full replacement.

Ways to fix a sewer line
Root cutting
Roots in a joint are cut back from inside the pipe. That reopens the line, and the camera then shows how badly the joint was damaged.
Spot repair
Damage in one place on a sewer line does not call for a whole new pipe. That stretch is dug out and mended, and the rest of the pipe keeps carrying waste away.
A new sewer line
Where the pipe has collapsed or is failing over a long stretch, new pipe replaces it all the way from the building to the public connection.
Upper and lower sewer laterals
The North Hudson Sewerage Authority treats the house sewer as an upper lateral, from the building to the curb, and a lower lateral, from the curb to the main, and in most cases both are the owner’s to maintain, repair and replace.
If the authority decides a lateral is defective, the owner receives a written notice requiring corrective action within a set timeframe.
Your home’s age and its sewer line
The sewer line age checker asks for the year your own house was built. Across Hoboken, over 5 in every 10 homes date from before 1980, and half of all homes date from 1975 or earlier.
Sewer trouble can start with a drain that will not clear, so the drain cleaning page is the place to begin, with the repiping page and the homepage covering the rest of the plumbing.
