Question 2

What is trenchless sewer repair and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Trenchless sewer repair fixes damaged or deteriorating sewer lines without digging up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. Our technicians use Picote Solutions camera inspection to locate the problem, then reline or patch the pipe from the inside using CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) technology — meeting ASTM F1216 and ASTM F1743 standards. Most jobs are completed in a single day.

Question 3

How do I know if I need sewer repair or just a drain cleaning?

Accepted Answer

If the problem is limited to one fixture — a single slow drain or a clogged toilet — it's likely a localized blockage that drain cleaning or hydrojetting can fix. If multiple drains are slow, you're noticing sewage smell, water is backing up in your basement, or you're seeing wet patches in your yard, those are signs of a sewer line issue that needs a camera inspection. Bison Plumbing will diagnose the exact problem before recommending any repair.

Question 4

How much does sewer repair cost in Macomb County?

Accepted Answer

The cost depends on the scope — hydrojetting typically costs less than full pipe lining, and trenchless repair is almost always more affordable than traditional excavation. Bison Plumbing provides upfront pricing before any work begins. Estimates are always free. A service charge applies when we perform work in your home, and we'll quote the rest before we start. Financing is available through GreenSky with $0 down and low monthly payments.

Question 6

What is hydrojetting and when do I need it?

Accepted Answer

Hydrojetting uses high-pressure water to blast away grease, scale, tree roots, and stubborn obstructions that a standard drain snake can't fully clear. It's recommended for recurring clogs, slow-draining commercial kitchens, or any line that has been repeatedly snaked without lasting results.

Question 7

Yes. Bison Plumbing holds a Michigan plumbing contractor license through LARA (Michigan Department of Licensing and Regulatory Affairs) and is fully insured for both residential and commercial work. We've been serving Macomb and Oakland County since 1998 with over 3,000 five-star Google reviews.
