A backup in a house on Sandy Acres Drive, or a slow line off Nichols Road that keeps coming back? Oakland Heights sits west of Pine Bluff, a little over eight miles from our shop on Fifth Avenue, and our crews cover it day and night. We run a camera down your line, show you the footage and give you the price before any digging. Licensed and insured, 24/7.

Sewer or Septic?
Out here, a lot of homes run on septic systems, while others may connect to a public sewer. The pipe from your house to the tank or main is what we inspect and repair either way. On septic, we clear and camera the line to the tank and will tell you plainly when the tank or drain field is the issue, which is a job for a septic contractor. If a sewer main is available near your property and your septic is failing, a septic to sewer conversion may be worth pricing.
Sandy Soil, Clay Soil
As the name Sandy Acres suggests, the ground west of town varies from sandier soils to heavier clay. Each affects a sewer line differently. Sandy soil drains well but can wash away from under a leaking pipe, leaving it unsupported so it sags. Clay holds water, swells and shrinks, and slowly pushes joints out of line. When we camera a line here, we look for both patterns, because the soil tells us whether a single spot repair will hold or whether the bedding under a longer section needs rebuilding.
Careful Work on Country Lots
Properties west of town often have more buried underneath them than a city lot: a septic tank and drain field on many, private wells on some older places, long gravel driveways, outbuildings and buried water and power lines running to barns and shops. Before any digging we locate the sewer line with the camera and a locator, have public utilities marked through 811, and ask you about anything private we should avoid. Keeping the dig small protects your yard, your drain field and everything else under the ground.
Before You Pump the Tank Again
If you are on septic and the drains back up, it is natural to call for pumping first. If the tank is not full and the house still backs up, though, the blockage is in the line between the house and the tank, often roots or a sag where solids collect. Pumping will not reach it. A quick camera check from the cleanout shows which problem you have, so you only pay for the fix you actually need.
Signs to Watch For
- Every drain slow at once, or gurgling toilets.
- Sewage smell outside or under a mobile home.
- A soft or wet patch over the line.
- Clogs that come back soon after clearing.
