Commercial Sewer Line Repair in Richardson, TX
Pipe InterTech repairs the sewer lines under restaurants and other commercial buildings in Richardson. We find the damage with a sewer camera, repair the pipe by lining it from the inside, and rehabilitate and coat manholes, so where the pipe allows, the floor or parking lot above the line can stay in place.
Who looks after which part of the line in Richardson
In Richardson, the City maintains the main sewer line. A Richardson City Council resolution puts the line from the main to the building, the house lateral, on the customer or property owner. For an interim period, Richardson's Water Utilities Department can install a two-way cleanout at or near the property line, with the owner's authorization and a fee paid in advance; after that, City crews maintain the stretch from that cleanout to the main at no cost, and the stretch from the cleanout to the building stays the owner's. Richardson describes the program for homeowners, so ask the City (Response Center, 972-744-4111) whether it applies to your commercial property. Richardson City staff are not obligated to work on private property to clear a stoppage there; where the City has installed a two-way cleanout, its crew will attempt to clear a stoppage from that cleanout toward the main (request it online or on 972-744-4111).
So when the line under your building backs up, the first question is where the problem sits. A sewer camera run through a cleanout answers that, and shows whether the damaged stretch can be lined instead of dug up.

Our Process
1. Tell us what is happening
Call (833) 454-6464, day or night: a backup, slow drains across the building, or a smell near a cleanout.
2. Camera the line
We run a camera through the cleanout to find the damage and see which side of the cleanout it is on.
3. Know whose part it is
In Richardson the main is the City's; the house lateral to the building is the owner's, apart from the stretch between a City-installed two-way cleanout and the main.
4. Line instead of dig
Where the pipe allows, we repair it by lining, with as little digging as possible.
5. Grease trap too?
If the grease trap feeding the line is failing, we repair it overnight after you close.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is responsible for the sewer line under a business in Richardson?
The City maintains the main sewer line. A Richardson City Council resolution puts the lateral between the main and the building on the property owner. Where Richardson has installed a two-way cleanout near the property line, the City maintains the stretch from that cleanout to the main at no cost.
What is a two-way cleanout?
An access point on the sewer line at or near the property line. Richardson's Water Utilities Department installs them for a fee paid in advance, in an interim program it describes for homeowners; call 972-744-4111 to ask about a commercial property.
Can a damaged sewer line be repaired without digging up the parking lot?
Where the pipe allows. We line 3 to 8 inch pipes from the inside (CIPP). A pipe that has collapsed along a long stretch, or one that cannot be reached from an opening, may need to be dug up; a camera inspection shows which case you are in.
Do you do pipe bursting?
No. We repair pipes by lining them.
Do you work on homes in Richardson?
No. We work for restaurants and other commercial buildings only.
