Septic Line Repair in Pahrump, NV
The line between your house and the septic tank carries everything you send down the drain. When it clogs, cracks, or sags, drains back up even if the tank is fine. ASC Plumbing repairs septic lines across Pahrump.
Common Septic Line Problems
- Clogs: grease, wipes, and solids that stop in the line
- Roots: roots growing in through joints and cracks
- Cracks and separated joints: from age, ground movement, or vehicles driving over the line
- Sags (bellies): low spots where waste settles and builds up
Signs the Line, Not the Tank, Is the Problem
- Drains back up, but the tank isn't full when it's checked
- Backups return soon after the tank is pumped
- Wet ground or odors between the house and the tank
- Gurgling and slow drains throughout the house
Septic Line Services
Camera inspection
A camera shows cracks, roots, and sags, so the repair targets the right spot.
Section repair
We dig down to the damaged section and replace it.
Line replacement
When the line is failing along its length, we replace it from the house to the tank.
Clean-out installation
A clean-out lets the line be cleared and inspected without pulling a toilet or digging.
How Septic Line Repair Works
1. Check the tank level
We confirm whether the tank is full or the line is blocked.
2. Clear and inspect
We clear the line and run a camera to see its condition.
3. Repair the damage
We repair or replace the failed section, or the whole line.
4. Confirm flow
We run water through the system to make sure it drains properly.
Line Problem or Full Tank?
A full tank and a blocked line can cause the same backups. If the tank is full, it needs septic tank pumping. If it isn't, the line is the likely cause. Our guide to septic or sewer problems lists what each symptom points to.
Protecting the Line
- Don't drive or park over the line or the tank
- Keep trees and large shrubs away from the line's path
- Keep wipes, grease, and harsh chemicals out of the drains
Drain Field Problems
If the line and tank check out but water still pools over the drain field, the problem may be in the field itself. We'll explain what we find and what the next step involves.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if the problem is the septic line or the tank?
If the tank isn't full when it's checked, or backups return soon after pumping, the line is the likely cause. A camera inspection confirms it.
Can roots get into a septic line?
Yes. Roots grow in through joints and cracks. Clearing them helps for a while, but repairing the joint stops them coming back.
Will you have to dig up my yard?
For a repair, we dig only at the damaged section, which a camera inspection helps pinpoint. A full replacement needs a trench along the line.
