Your sewer line is yours, all the way to the city main
Under St. George code, the homeowner owns the sewer lateral from the house out to the city main. When that line backs up, cracks, or fills with roots, the city does not fix it. That surprises a lot of people the first time.
In older parts of town like Bloomington and the neighborhoods around Dixie Downs, mature trees send roots looking for water, and sewer joints are an easy target. We run a camera first so you see what's actually in the pipe before anyone talks about digging.
Slow drains and backups that keep coming back
A kitchen sink that clears for a week and then slows again usually points to something further down the line, not the trap. We find the outside cleanout, clear the line, and tell you whether it was grease, roots, or a pipe that has sagged.
If you are buying a home in St. George, a sewer camera inspection before closing is cheap compared to finding a broken line after you move in. We can record the video so you can share it with your agent.
Older pipes in established neighborhoods
Gray polybutylene was installed in many St. George area homes from roughly 1978 to 1995, and some older homes still have galvanized lines. Both fail with age. Copper can also develop pinhole leaks from hard water and soil contact, especially under slab floors.
If you are patching leaks every few months, we'll tell you honestly whether more patches make sense or whether repiping is the cheaper long-term fix. You decide; we just give you the facts.
St. George water and your softener setting
St. George Water Services says softeners should generally be set at 18 grains and no higher than 22, because softener salt ends up in wastewater and hurts the reuse water the city puts on parks and golf courses. Many homes are set far higher than that out of habit.
We can check your setting, confirm the softener is regenerating, and look at the water heater and fixtures that hard water is wearing down.

Plumber in St. George: questions
Who pays to fix the sewer line between my house and the street?
In St. George, the homeowner owns the lateral from the house to the city main, so the repair is on you. A camera inspection tells you exactly where the problem is and how much pipe is involved before you commit to anything.
Do you work in every part of St. George?
Yes, from Green Valley and Entrada on the west side to Little Valley and Bloomington. We also cover Santa Clara, Washington, Ivins, Hurricane and Kayenta.
Will you tell me the price before you start?
Yes. We look at the problem, explain what's wrong, and give you the price before any work starts. If you'd rather not go ahead, you are not locked in.
Can you look at a sewer line before I buy a house?
Yes. We run a camera through the line from the cleanout and record what we see so you, your agent, and the seller can all look at the same video.
