Sewer Line Repair in Utah: Hollands Expert Services
Let me tell you a quick story. It was two years ago in Sandy right before the holidays. I got a call from a guy named Mike. He was panicking. His whole house smelled like rotten eggs and his toilets wouldnt flush. He had his in-laws coming over in three hours. Can you imagine. I drove out there fast. His front yard was mushy. Not from snow but from... well you know. We dug it up and found a huge tree root had crushed his main pipe. We fixed it just in time for dinner but man it was close. He put some paint over it. Two weeks later? BOOM. The whole ceiling came down right while we were eating breakfast. Wet drywall everywhere. Insulation in the cereal. It was a huge mess and cost a ton of money to fix. My mom was so mad.
That is why I started Hollands Expert Services LLC. I hate seeing people stressed out by their plumbing. If you live in Utah you know how crazy the weather gets and how hard the ground is. It messes up pipes. If you need sewer line repair in utah I am the guy you call.
Why Your Sewer Line Breaks
Most people dont think about sewer lines until its to late. I heard from a buddy in Draper that his basement flooded because he ignored a slow drain. Don't be that guy.
Here in Utah we have weird soil. Some places its sandy and some places its hard clay. The clay shifts when it gets wet and dry. That breaks pipes. Also we have lots of old trees. Their roots are thirsty. They find tiny cracks in your pipes and grow inside. Then they get big and bust the pipe open.
Also the cold. When the ground freezes in January it puts pressure on everything. If your pipes are old like the ones in Sugar House or the Avenues they crack easy.
If you smell something bad in your yard or your drain is making a gurgling sound you need help. Dont wait.

Fixing The Mess: Sewer Line Repair
This is the big one. Sewer line repair is what we do best.
Lots of plumbers just wanna dig up your whole yard. They bring big excavators and tear up your grass and your driveway. It looks like a bomb went off. I dont like doing that unless I have to.
We try to be smart about it. Sometimes we just need to replace one small piece of pipe. We dig a hole fix the spot and cover it back up.
I remember a job in West Valley where another company told the lady she needed a whole new system for 10,000 bucks. I went out there and looked. It was just a loose joint. I fixed it for way less.
You gotta be careful who you trust. Some guys just want your money. I just want your toilet to flush. If your pipe is bellied or cracked or crushed we can fix it. We use strong PVC pipe that lasts a long time.

Getting The Gunk Out: Sewer Line Cleaning
Sometimes your pipe isnt broken its just clogged. This is where sewer line cleaning comes in.
Think about what goes down your drain. Grease, hair, soap, food, and “flushable” wipes. By the way never flush those wipes. They are not flushable. I pulled a ball of wipes out of a pipe in Lehi that was the size of a basketball. It was gross.
When your line is clogged we use a special machine. Its like a heavy duty snake. We feed it into the pipe and it cuts through the blockage.
For really bad clogs we use water. Its called hydro jetting. Imagine a pressure washer but for the inside of your pipe. It sprays water super hard and blasts away all the grease and roots. It makes the inside of the pipe look brand new.
If your sinks are draining slow or the water comes back up in the shower when you flush the toilet you probably need a cleaning.
Taking A Look: Sewer Line Inspection
How do you know what is wrong down there? You cant see through dirt. Thats why we do sewer line inspection.
We have this cool camera. Its on a long wire. We put it down the drain and watch a TV screen. It shows us everything. We can see if there are roots or cracks or if the pipe has collapsed.
I did an inspection in Provo near the university. The landlord thought the tenants broke the toilet. We put the camera down and saw a rat had gotten stuck in the pipe. Yeah a rat. The camera saves you money because we stop guessing. We know exactly where to dig.
You should get an inspection if you are buying a new house too. You dont want to buy a house and then find out the sewer is broken. That cost alot of money.
Starting Fresh: Sewer Line Installation
Sometimes the pipe is just to old. Or maybe you are building a new house in Herriman or Saratoga Springs. You need sewer line installation.
Putting in a new line is big work. You have to get the slope right. If the pipe is too flat the water wont move. If its too steep the water moves to fast and leaves the solid stuff behind. That causes clogs.
We know how to lay pipe correctly. We put down gravel so the pipe sits flat. We glue the joints tight so roots cant get in. We connect it to the city main line properly.
I seen bad installs where the pipe sagged after one year. Then you have to dig it up again. We do it right the first time. We use the thick pipes that are rated for our soil here in Utah.
