Sewer Line Repair & Replacement in Athens, GA
Your sewer line is the most important plumbing line in your home — and the easiest one to ignore until something goes wrong. After Hours Plumbing provides complete sewer line services for homeowners across Athens GA, Watkinsville, Bogart, Winterville, Statham, Winder, and Oconee County: camera inspections, root removal, hydro-jetting, spot repairs, full replacements, and emergency backup clearing.
Most sewer line problems in our area come from one of three causes: tree roots growing into older clay or cast-iron pipes, ground shifting that creates a sag or break, or decades of grease and scale narrowing the inside of the line. The symptoms are the same — slow drains throughout the house, multiple fixtures clogging at once, gurgling toilets, sewer odors in the yard, or sewage backing up into tubs and floor drains. When you see those signs, the right next step is a sewer camera inspection so you know exactly what you are dealing with.
We snake a high-resolution sewer camera through your line and show you what we see on a screen, in real time. You watch the inspection with us. If we find roots, we cut them. If we find scale or grease, we hydro-jet the line back to like-new. If we find a break, a bellied section, or a collapse, we walk you through every repair option — traditional excavation, trenchless pipe lining, or pipe bursting — with honest pricing on each.
Sewer work is not the place for guesswork or low-bid shortcuts. After Hours Plumbing is fully licensed and insured in Georgia, permitted on every replacement, and accountable to our Athens neighbors long after the job is done. We protect your yard, restore the work area, and warranty every repair we make.

If multiple drains are slow or backing up at once, the issue is almost always in the main sewer line, not at the fixture. A camera inspection confirms it.
Trenchless methods like pipe lining and pipe bursting allow us to repair or replace a sewer line with minimal digging — often just one or two access points instead of an open trench.
Most residential sewer replacements in Athens GA are completed in 1–3 days, depending on length, depth, and whether trenchless methods are used.
Yes, eventually. Roots seek water and will return to any joint or crack. Hydro-jetting buys time, but a permanent fix means lining or replacing the affected section.
Yes. We provide pre-purchase sewer camera inspections with a recorded video and a written report, ideal for buyers in Athens-Clarke County and Oconee County.
