Sewage backing into your home is a Category 3 biohazard situation that needs to stop. But the right long-term fix โ clearing, trenchless lining, or excavation โ depends on what's causing it. Masters Plumbing Service uses push-rod CCTV cameras in Trinity to find out exactly what you're dealing with before any repair recommendation is made.

The repair method โ clearing, lining, or digging โ should follow from the specific failure documented on camera. We show you that footage before you sign anything.
We push a CCTV camera through your sewer line before recommending anything. The footage shows blockage type, joint conditions, pipe material, depth, and any structural defects โ precisely located by distance from the cleanout. You see what we see.
Trenchless lining costs significantly less than excavation in most scenarios and preserves landscaping, driveways, and hardscape. Not every sewer failure qualifies for lining โ we tell you honestly when it does and when it doesn't.
Precise camera locating means we dig where the problem is, not speculatively. We document the repair with post-repair camera footage and restore the excavation site to grade.
Sewer line repair in most NC jurisdictions requires a permit and inspection. We pull the permit, coordinate the inspection, and provide you with camera footage, repair documentation, and inspection sign-off as a complete job record.
From a simple root cutting to a full trenchless lining or spot excavation, our sewer crew in Trinity, NC has the equipment and certification to execute.
Tree roots enter sewer lines at joint gaps and grow into substantial obstructions that can completely block flow over time. Our electric root cutter โ a bladed cutting head on a sectional cable machine โ cuts root masses back to the pipe wall, restoring full pipe diameter. We follow with a CCTV re-scope to confirm clearance.
CIPP lining works on pipes with cracks, root intrusion at joints, minor deformation, and localized damage โ as long as the host pipe can maintain the liner in position during curing. We assess liner candidacy from camera footage before committing to this method.
New pipe โ typically SDR-35 PVC or Schedule 40 at code-specified depth and grade โ is installed with proper joint couplings, backfilled in lifts, and surface-restored. Post-repair camera confirms grade and joint integrity.
A standalone camera inspection โ without any clearing or repair โ is useful for pre-purchase due diligence, insurance documentation, or understanding why a drain is performing poorly before committing to a repair approach. We run the camera, record footage with distance markers, and provide a written scope report.
Active sewage backup into a structure is an emergency requiring immediate response. We dispatch on an emergency basis, clear the blockage to restore drain function, contain and document the affected area, and schedule the camera scope to assess underlying cause โ either same-day or at the earliest opportunity.
Homes with known root-prone sewer lines benefit from scheduled root cutting and camera inspection on a 12โ18 month cycle. This prevents the root mass from reaching a blockage point and gives you early warning of any joint deterioration that's progressing toward a structural repair need.
Here's how a Masters Plumbing Service sewer line call plays out โ from your first call to a repaired, flowing sewer.
Tell our dispatcher what you're experiencing โ backed up fixtures, gurgling drains, sewage smell in the yard, slow drainage across multiple fixtures โ so we arrive prepared.
You watch the footage with the technician. We point out each observation and explain what it means for repair options before presenting any quote.
Based on camera findings, we present the repair options appropriate for what was found โ clearing and maintenance, trenchless lining, spot excavation, or full replacement โ with flat-rate pricing for each. We explain the trade-offs between methods clearly.
Required permits are closed out with the local inspection. You receive camera footage, written scope report, permit inspection sign-off, and warranty documentation.

My main sewer line backed up on a Saturday. Masters Plumbing Service came out within 2 hours, cleared the blockage with a cable machine to restore drain function, then ran the camera. The footage showed root intrusion at three clay tile joints between 22 and 46 feet from the cleanout. They presented a trenchless lining option vs. spot excavation at each joint with pricing for both. I went with lining โ completed on Monday, camera confirmed clean and sealed joints, permits closed the following week.
We bought an older home in Trinity and wanted the sewer scoped before closing. Masters Plumbing Service ran the full line, found an offset joint at 58 feet creating a partial obstruction and some root infiltration at three additional joints. Written report in hand, we negotiated a $4,200 repair credit from the sellers before closing. The scope paid for itself many times over.
Tree roots had invaded our sewer line every year for six years. Annual clearing costs were adding up. Masters Plumbing Service scoped, confirmed the root entry points, and lined the 70-foot residential run. No roots at the 18-month re-scope. The liner sealed every joint the roots had been using.
