About Sorrells

Sorrells is a rural community south of Pine Bluff along Old Warren Road, Ryburn Road and Sorrells Road. Residential lanes like Hickory Ridge Drive, Cowboy Drive, Law Road and Ray Road wind through wooded lots, and Liberty Hill Church is one of the local landmarks. It sits between Watson Chapel to the north and the open country toward Rone and Faith to the south, with a quiet, country feel just minutes from town.

Wooded Lots and Sewer Lines

Sorrells homes tend to sit on larger wooded lots, and trees are the biggest factor in the sewer problems we find here:

• Tree roots seeking water find any loose joint in the line. See tree root removal.
• Long runs from the house to the tank or road give roots and ground movement more pipe to work on.
• Sags and offsets from shifting clay soil. See belly repair and offset joint repair.
• Mobile home connections that crack or slip where the home’s drain meets the underground line.

Sewer or Septic in Sorrells?

Because of its rural layout, many homes around Sorrells are likely on septic systems, while some closer to Pine Bluff may connect to public sewer. We work on the line carrying waste from your house in either case. On septic, we clear and camera the line to the tank and tell you straight if the tank or drain field is the real problem, which calls for a septic contractor. If a public main is available near you, a septic to sewer conversion is worth pricing.

Protecting Your Yard and Trees

Nobody on a wooded lot wants a trench cut through the root zone of a big oak or hickory. The camera and locator let us find the exact problem spot so any dig stays small. Where the pipe is still round and the damage is roots at many joints, pipe lining can seal them from the inside through a cleanout. When a section must be dug, we mark it, tell you how big the hole will be and backfill it cleanly.

Roots Come Back in Spring

If your drains slow down every spring and summer and seem fine in winter, that is a classic root pattern. Trees grow fastest in the warm months and send fine roots into the line looking for water. Cutting them clears the pipe for a while, but they return to the same joints. The camera shows how many joints are letting roots in, which tells us whether sealing one or two joints fixes it for good or whether a longer section needs attention.

Before You Call a Septic Pumper

When drains back up on a septic property, the first instinct is often to have the tank pumped. Sometimes that is exactly right. But if the tank is not full and the backup continues, the blockage is somewhere in the line between the house and the tank, often roots at a joint or a sag where solids settle. Pumping will not fix that. A quick camera look from the cleanout tells you which one you are dealing with, so you pay for the right job the first time. If the tank does need pumping, we will say so and point you to a septic company.

Signs to Watch For

• Drains slowing gradually, especially in spring and summer.
• Gurgling toilets and a tub that fills when the washer drains.
• A wet or smelly spot over the line.
• Roots on the snake cable after the last cleaning.
