What Is a Point of Break Spot Repair?
A point of break repair is a localized fix for a specific damaged section of your sewer pipe. Instead of replacing the entire line, we:
- Use a sewer camera to locate the exact break
- Dig only where needed to access the damaged portion
- Remove and replace the broken section
- Test, inspect, and restore the area
This method is often faster, cleaner, and more affordable than full-line replacement.
When to Consider Spot Repair
Point of break repair is ideal when:
- There’s a single crack, hole, or collapsed section
- You failed a real estate sewer inspection due to one issue
- The rest of the sewer line is in good condition
- Damage is caused by tree roots, ground settling, or corrosion
- You need a budget-friendly solution without compromising safety
We always perform a camera inspection first to verify the damage is localized and that Targeted Spot Repair Solutions are the most effective and affordable option for your sewer line.
