Sewer Backing Up? Call (417) 671-3005 for Same-Day Service.
A sewer backup is not a wait and see problem. If more than one drain is slow, if the toilet gurgles when the washer drains, or if you smell sewage in the yard, the trouble is usually in the main line rather than the fixture. White Plumbing Company clears, inspects, and repairs sewer and drain lines for Springfield homeowners, and we have been doing it since 1989.
Call (417) 671-3005 or book online in under two minutes. Licensed and insured, holding Master Gas, Mechanical and Plumber License BTC-0010435 through the City of Springfield. We serve Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Brookline Township, and the rest of Greene and Christian County.
Blocked and slow drains come from grease, hair, soap residue, food waste, and the mineral scale that Springfield's hard water leaves inside pipes. We clear the blockage, then check why it formed. A drain that clogs twice in a year is telling you something a cable alone will not fix.
One slow fixture usually means a local clog. Several slow fixtures at once, or a toilet that bubbles when the tub drains, usually means the main line. We start by working out which one you have, so you are not paying for the wrong repair.
Repeat clogs almost always have a physical cause: tree roots in the sewer lateral, a bellied section of pipe holding water, a broken or offset fitting, or heavy scale narrowing the line. Our technicians locate the cause instead of only clearing the symptom, and we show you what the camera found.
This matters because repeatedly cabling a line that is already cracked or offset can make the damage worse. Knowing what you are actually dealing with is what keeps a small repair from becoming a full line replacement.
Hydro jetting means using high-pressure water to scour the inside of the pipe rather than punching a hole through the blockage. It is the right tool for grease buildup, heavy sediment, and root hair, because it restores the full diameter of the line instead of a channel through the middle. We inspect first, since jetting is not right for every pipe. Fragile or already cracked lines need a different approach, and we will tell you if yours is one of them.
Your sewer line is the single pipe carrying everything from your house to the city main, so when it restricts, every drain in the home slows at once. For most Springfield homes a camera inspection every few years is enough, and sooner if you have mature trees near the line or an older house with clay or cast iron laterals.
A camera inspection is also worth doing before you buy a house here. The sewer lateral is one of the few expensive problems a standard home inspection does not cover.
Cracked, offset, or collapsed lines cause repeat backups, soggy patches in the yard, and sewage odor near the foundation. We camera the line, locate the failure, and mark its depth and position. If the damage is one section, we repair that section. If the line is failing in several places or has lost its slope, spot repairs will not hold, and we tell you that instead of selling you one.
You see the camera footage and both options with prices before anything gets dug up or lined.
Often, yes. Trenchless repair fixes the pipe from access points at each end instead of trenching the whole run. Pipe lining cures a new liner inside the existing pipe. Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through while breaking the old one outward. Both spare your driveway, patio, and mature landscaping.
Trenchless is not always possible. A severe collapse, a sharp offset, or a line that has lost its grade may still need open excavation. We inspect first and tell you which methods your line will actually accept.
We have worked on Springfield sewer lines since 1989 and hold Master Gas, Mechanical and Plumber License BTC-0010435 through the City of Springfield. Sewer work often needs a permit and an inspection, and unpermitted work can hold up a home sale later.
We also stand behind our pricing. Bring us a comparable written quote from a licensed, insured contractor and we will beat it by 5%. Our residential drain clearing carries a warranty of up to one year when a camera inspection confirms the line is clear.
Don’t wait. A slow drain is cheap to look at and expensive to ignore, and one visit tells you whether you have a fixture clog or a main line problem. Call (417) 671-3005 or book online in under two minutes.
We serve Springfield, Nixa, Ozark, Republic, Brookline Township, and the rest of Greene and Christian County, with same-day service on most calls and emergency response when a line backs up.
For most Springfield homes, every year or two is enough for the main line, and sooner if you have mature trees near the sewer lateral or a history of backups. If drains are already slowing repeatedly, do not wait on a schedule. Have the line cleaned and camera inspected so you know whether you are dealing with buildup or damage.
Hair, grease, food scraps, soap residue, and mineral scale from Springfield’s hard water cause most household clogs. Outside the house, tree roots are the leading cause of main line blockages. Clogs that keep coming back in the same line usually point to a physical defect in the pipe rather than a habit in the kitchen.
Sewer line cleaning clears buildup, debris, and root intrusion from the main pipe that carries wastewater from your house to the city sewer, so it flows at full capacity again. It is done with a mechanical cutter, a hydro jetter, or both, and it is usually paired with a camera inspection to confirm the line is genuinely clear.
A hose with a specialized nozzle feeds into the line and sprays water at high pressure, scouring grease, sediment, and root hair off the pipe walls and flushing it downstream. Unlike a cable, it restores the full inside diameter of the pipe. We inspect first, since jetting is not appropriate for pipes that are already cracked or fragile.
Watch for repeat backups, sewage odor indoors or in the yard, soggy or unusually green patches of lawn along the line, gurgling toilets, and several slow drains at once. A camera inspection settles it. If cleaning restores flow and the pipe looks sound, you needed cleaning. If the camera shows cracks, offsets, or standing water in a bellied section, you need repair.
Trenchless repair fixes or replaces a damaged underground pipe through small access points instead of trenching the full run. Pipe lining cures a resin liner inside the existing pipe. Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through while fracturing the old one outward. Both save your driveway and landscaping, though not every line qualifies, which is why we camera the line before quoting it.
