Many Council Bluffs neighborhoods have older clay or cast-iron sewer laterals that are prone to cracking, root intrusion, and joint separation over time. The City's Public Works Sewer Maintenance division maintains the public sewer mains, but the lateral line running from your house to the city main is the homeowner's responsibility — which is where a camera inspection from a local plumber makes the difference between guessing and knowing exactly what's wrong.

How do I know if it's my sewer line or the city's main?
If the backup affects only your home, it's likely your lateral line. A camera inspection confirms exactly where the problem is.
Do you offer trenchless sewer repair?
Yes, where the line condition allows it — pipe lining (CIPP) or pipe bursting reduces digging and restores your yard faster than traditional excavation.
Is sewer line repair an emergency service?
Yes. Active backups are handled as emergencies — call (712) 355-9187 any time.
Do you handle sewer permits with the City of Council Bluffs?
Yes, we coordinate permit approval and inspections as part of every sewer line repair or replacement.
