What Pegram houses mean for the pipe underneath
Late-eighties and nineties houses have PVC laterals that seldom break, and the calls here are bellies where the backfill settled under the pipe and cleanouts buried under thirty years of landscaping.
With the household out at work all day, a camera job can start with one adult home for the first half hour, and we send the recording so the findings can be read that evening.
On a tight lot with a fence, a driveway and a neighbor close on each side, there is little room for a machine, so a sewer repair here leans on trenchless methods and hand-dug access pits.
Near the river, a public main that surcharges in a flood pushes back up every lateral without a backwater valve, and fitting one where the line leaves the house keeps the flood out of the lowest floor drain.
Under big silver maples, willows and sweetgums, roots find any sewer joint that weeps, and cutting them out buys a year or two; lining the line or replacing it with joint-free pipe is what ends the yearly visit.

Why Pegram homes call us about their drains
Nashville grew outward in rings, and the pipe under each ring dates it: clay tile and cast iron in the prewar neighborhoods, Orangeburg in many houses from the mid-1940s into the early 1970s, and PVC after that. The year a house went up tells us what the camera is likely to meet.
- Spongy, bright green grass over the septic field
- A sump pit that refills seconds after the pump stops
- Water rising in the tub when a toilet flushes
- A floor drain that gurgles as the washer empties
Pumping the tank to fix the field. Pumping empties the tank for a while. If the field has stopped taking water, the tank rises back to its outlet within days and the slow drains return.
