Sewer Repairs in Hammond, IN
The line under the yard is the one nobody thinks about until it fails. We camera it first, show you what is actually down there, then repair, restore or replace the run.
Chapter 01
The line you can't see is the one that decides your week
A sink that drains slow, a gurgling drain, or more than one fixture backing up at once usually means the problem isn't the fixture. It's the sewer line underneath it, and it doesn't announce itself until it's already inconvenient.
Area Plumbing & Sewer has been repairing, maintaining and installing sewer lines across Lake and Porter County since 1989. Complete line repairs, stubborn clogs, pipe restoration and full system installs all run through the same crew.

A camera before a shovel
Before anything gets dug up, the line gets a state of the art camera inspection. That means you see what's actually causing the problem, a cracked joint, a root, or a low spot holding grease, instead of paying for a guess.
It also means the repair matches the damage. A section that can be restored gets restored. A section that's collapsed gets replaced. The camera decides, not a general assumption about old pipe.

A customer who'd already dealt with one contractor's mess
Tim Haas needed his main sewer line replaced with a lot of obstacles to overcome. He said the crew cleaned up well and answered every question along the way.
Nicole Coubal had a sewer line pipe replaced after a previous owner shoved construction material down the drains. She said the crew pulled all the stops out to get everything unclogged and fixed, and that they'd be the only plumbing company she uses going forward.
Full system installs, on a schedule instead of an emergency
Where a line is past restoring, a full sewer system installation is sized and installed for the property, not patched together as a stopgap.
And once a line is in good shape, a preventative maintenance program keeps it that way, so the next time anyone opens the ground here it's planned instead of urgent.

Where the pipe itself can be restored rather than replaced, that is the option we price first.
Camera line inspections
State of the art inspection equipment shows you what is actually down there before anyone recommends digging.
Preventative maintenance and full system installations
A maintenance program for the line that has been fine so far, or a full new system where it hasn't.
