When more than one drain slows down at the same time, a toilet gurgles while the washer drains, or sewage comes up in a basement floor drain, the problem is usually past the house and out in the main sewer line. Kansas City, KS has a lot of older clay and cast-iron sewer laterals, mature trees, and clay-heavy soil that shifts with wet springs and dry summers. Those three things together crack joints, invite roots, and create low spots where waste collects. Sewer Line Repair Kansas City focuses on finding the actual failure and recommending the repair that fits it.
We offer six sewer services across Kansas City, KS and the surrounding area: sewer line repair, trenchless sewer repair, hydro cleaning, no-dig sewer repair, sewer drain service, and full sewage line replacement. Before anyone talks about opening up your yard, we want to know what the pipe looks like inside and where the damage really is. If you are dealing with a backup right now or already have a camera inspection showing a problem, call us and we will walk you through the options.
Sewer Line Repair Kansas City was started by Dan Koenig, who spent years on excavation and utility crews around Wyandotte County before running his own sewer work. He saw the same thing over and over: a homeowner with a backup gets told the whole line has to be dug up and replaced, when a camera inspection would have shown a single cracked joint under the parkway that could be fixed in a day. He built this company around a simple rule, which is to look first, explain what you found, and then recommend the repair that matches the pipe.
Today the team handles everything from clearing a root-choked main in a 1920s Strawberry Hill bungalow to replacing a settled lateral behind a newer home near Piper. We work in older neighborhoods with clay tile and Orangeburg pipe, in postwar subdivisions with cast iron, and in newer developments where a line was backfilled poorly and has already sagged. Whatever the pipe, the promise is the same: straight answers, the least digging the situation allows, and a repair we would put in our own yard.
More about us
Six focused sewer services, from clearing a blocked main to repairing or replacing failed underground pipe, with trenchless and no-dig options wherever the line qualifies.
Repair cracked, offset, root-damaged, or broken sewer pipe at the point of failure instead of replacing more line than you need to.
Learn more →Rehabilitate or replace a failing sewer line through small access points instead of a trench across your yard, driveway, or patio.
Learn more →High-pressure water jetting that scours grease, scale, sludge, and root material off the pipe walls instead of just poking a hole through the clog.
Learn more →No-dig sewer repair options that seal cracks, joints, and root entry points from inside the pipe, with no trench and minimal disturbance to your property.
Learn more →Main sewer drain cleaning and camera inspection for backups, slow drains throughout the house, gurgling fixtures, and sewer odors.
Learn more →Full replacement of a sewer line that is collapsed, deteriorated end to end, or has failed too many times to keep repairing, by excavation or pipe bursting.
Learn more →Our service area is centered on Kansas City, KS, with regular work in Basehor, Bonner Springs, Shawnee, Mission, Overland Park, Roeland Park, and Merriam. Each of these communities has its own sewer story. The older parts of KCK, Roeland Park, Mission, and Merriam are full of 1920s through 1950s homes on clay tile laterals with big trees over them. Shawnee and Overland Park mix that older stock with 1960s and 1970s cast iron and newer PVC. Basehor and Bonner Springs add newer subdivisions where settling and construction damage are the more common culprits.
That mix matters because the right repair depends on the pipe material, its depth, what is sitting on top of it, and how far the damage runs. A root problem in a Roeland Park clay line is a different job from a bellied PVC lateral in Basehor. Call (913) 408 4144 and tell us where you are and what the drains are doing, and we will tell you what we would look at first.

We are not a general plumber who also does sewers. Our crews, equipment, and recommendations are built around main sewer lines and the ground they sit in.
We want to see the inside of the pipe before recommending anything. A cracked joint, a root ball, and a collapsed section all call for different repairs, and guessing is how yards get dug up for nothing.
When the pipe qualifies, we can rehabilitate or replace a sewer line through small access pits instead of a trench across your driveway, patio, or landscaping.
You get a written scope that says what we found, what we recommend, what it costs, and what the alternatives are. No pressure to decide on the spot.
We stay concentrated in the KCK area and the nearby Kansas suburbs, so we know the pipe materials, the soil, and the permit requirements in each city.
A single slow sink is usually a local clog. When several fixtures act up together, a toilet bubbles while another fixture drains, or water comes up in the lowest drain in the house, the blockage or damage is most likely in the main sewer line. A camera inspection settles it.
Often, yes. Trenchless methods can rehabilitate or replace a line through small access points when the existing pipe is continuous enough to work through. A fully collapsed section, a severe belly, or a bad offset may still need a targeted excavation, but that is usually a small pit rather than a full trench.
In Kansas City, KS and the surrounding Kansas cities, the property owner is generally responsible for the lateral from the house to the connection at the public main. The utility maintains the main itself. If the failure is at or past the tap, we will tell you so you can involve the utility instead of paying for work that is not yours.
Tree roots grow fastest in spring and follow moisture into any crack or joint in an older clay or cast-iron line. Heavy rain also saturates the soil and can push groundwater into damaged pipe. A seasonal pattern almost always means the pipe itself has openings that need repair, not just another cleaning.
It depends on depth, length, pipe material, access, and whether the repair is trenchless or excavated. A localized spot repair is a very different number from replacing the whole run. We give planning ranges on each service page and a firm written estimate after we see the line.
Yes. We work with homeowners, landlords, property managers, and small commercial properties across the Kansas City, KS area, and we are used to coordinating with tenants and scheduling around business hours.
