About this service
What sewer pipe joint repair in Marietta, Georgia involves
Sewer pipe joint repair in Marietta, Georgia is the targeted fix for the connections between sections of your sewer line, the spots where leaks, offsets, and root intrusion almost always start. Every joint is a seam, and over time ground movement, age, and water pressure work that seam loose. We run a sewer camera to the exact joint, confirm whether it is cracked, offset, or separated, then seal it with epoxy or replace that section with new pipe and couplings. You get a watertight line without replacing the entire run.
Most of the calls we get are from homeowners in older Marietta neighborhoods dealing with clay tile sewer pipe joint separation or cast iron corrosion. Tree roots find those open joints fast, and once they are in, you get recurring sewer clogs every few months. We also see offset pipe joints after heavy rain, when saturated soil shifts and pushes pipe sections out of alignment. If you have been searching for leaking sewer joint near me Marietta GA, the fix is usually a spot repair, not a full line replacement.
- ✓ Stop recurring backups
- ✓ Save thousands vs. replacement
- ✓ No yard destruction
- ✓ Extend the life of your line
What's included
What our sewer pipe joint repair includes
Every joint repair job includes the essentials to fix the problem and prove it is fixed. We do not charge extra for the camera or the test. Here is what you get.
Joint excavation or trenchless access
We dig a small access pit or use trenchless equipment to reach the joint. We protect your landscaping and restore the surface when we are done.
Joint repair or replacement
We cut out the failed joint and install new pipe and couplings, or we seal it with epoxy liner. The method depends on the pipe material and condition.
Root removal if needed
If roots caused the failure, we remove them with a hydro jetter or drain snake auger before we repair. We do not seal roots inside the pipe.
Post-repair camera test
We run water through the line and camera it again to confirm the joint is watertight. You get a copy of the footage for your records.
Backfill and cleanup
We backfill the access pit, compact the soil, and leave your yard as close to original as possible. No mess left behind.
How it works
How our sewer joint repair process works
We push a RIDGID sewer camera through your cleanout and record the whole line. You watch the monitor with us. We mark the exact joint that is leaking, offset, or root-bound. This takes 20 to 30 minutes and tells us whether you need a seal, a spot replacement, or something bigger.
Using a sewer line locator transmitter, we mark the failure point on the surface with paint. No guessing. You see exactly where we will dig. We also check depth so we know what we are dealing with before the shovel hits dirt.
If the joint is shallow, we dig a small access pit with a mini excavator. If it is deep or under a slab, we use trenchless methods like pipe bursting or CIPP liner inversion to repair from inside the pipe. Most residential jobs are done with a 3-foot by 3-foot pit.
We cut out the failed section and install new PVC sewer pipe with heavy-duty pipe couplings, or we seal the existing joint with epoxy pipe liner if the pipe is still structurally sound. Every joint gets tested with pipe test plugs before we backfill. This is where the leak actually stops.
We run water through the line and camera it one more time to confirm the joint is watertight. Then we backfill, compact the soil, and restore the surface. You get a written report with before-and-after camera footage. Total time is usually 4 to 8 hours.

Tools & methods
Tools and methods we use
RIDGID sewer camera
Push rod camera that records the inside of your sewer line. We use it to find the exact joint that is leaking or offset.
Spartan Tool hydro jetter
High-pressure water jet that scours roots, grease, and debris from the pipe walls before we repair the joint.
Perma-Liner CIPP inversion drum
Used for trenchless joint sealing. We invert a resin-saturated liner into the pipe and cure it to create a new watertight joint.
HammerHead pipe bursting machine
Pulls new HDPE pipe through the old line, replacing the joint and the pipe section in one pass with minimal digging.
Sewer line locator transmitter
Marks the exact path and depth of your sewer line on the surface so we know where to dig for the joint repair.
Mini excavator
Digs the access pit for joint repair when trenchless methods are not possible. Small enough to fit through a gate.

Most sewer pipe joint repairs in Marietta run $600 to $2,200 in 2026. The low end is a shallow joint with easy access. The high end is a deep joint under a driveway or a joint that needs a trenchless liner. That price includes camera inspection, the repair, testing, and backfill. We give you the exact number before we start.
The main causes are tree root intrusion, soil movement, and age. Marietta has a lot of clay tile and cast iron pipe from the 1950s and 60s. Those joints were sealed with mortar or gaskets that break down. When the ground gets saturated after heavy rain, it shifts and offsets the pipe. Roots find the smallest gap and grow into it. Once a joint is open, it gets worse every year.
Yes, many can. If the pipe is still structurally sound and the joint is not completely separated, we can seal it from the inside with an epoxy pipe liner or a CIPP liner. This is called trenchless repair. We still need a small access point at the cleanout, but we do not dig up your yard. We camera the line first to confirm trenchless will work.
An offset joint is when two pipe sections no longer line up. We cut out the offset section and install a new piece of PVC pipe with flexible couplings that allow for minor ground movement. If the offset is severe, we may need to realign the pipe grade. We camera before and after to confirm the flow is smooth and the joint is watertight.
