Sewer & Water Line Repair & Replacement in Huntsville, AL

The #1 Solution for the #2 Problem

When your water line leaks or your sewer backs up, there’s no time to waste. At B&C Plumbing, we’ve spent more than 20 years helping North Alabama homeowners tackle everything underground, from minor water line repairs to full sewer line replacements.


Whether you’ve got a mystery high water bill, puddling in the yard, or drains that just won’t clear, our team uses modern tools like sewer inspection cameras and smaller, less invasive trenching methods to find and fix the problem fast, without tearing up your property or your patience.

Camera-First Sewer Inspections

We don’t guess — we look. B&C’s sewer inspection camera lets us see exactly what’s going on underground.

With it, we can spot:

  • Standing water and clogs
  • Cracks, rust, or flaking in old cast iron pipes
  • Utility bores that accidentally punctured the sewer line
  • The exact depth and location of breaks for precise repairs

 

This approach takes the guesswork out of sewer line repair and gives you an honest diagnosis and an accurate estimate before we ever dig.

Want peace of mind? We also offer standalone camera inspections for homebuyers and proactive homeowners who just want to know their system’s in good shape.

Sewer Line Repair vs. Sewer Line Replacement

Every property is different. Some jobs need a quick spot fix; others call for a complete replacement. Here’s how we decide:

Sewer Line Repair

Perfect for newer PVC lines with isolated damage. We dig small, targeted trenches to fix the problem quickly and minimize disruption.

Sewer Line Replacement

For older homes with cast iron or galvanized pipes, it’s often better to start fresh. These materials corrode from the inside out, creating ongoing blockages, leaks, and contamination.

A full sewer line replacement eliminates those problems for good.
No upselling. No pressure. Just the right fix for your situation, backed by clear camera footage and a one-year warranty.

Our Process: Straightforward and Transparent

1. Inspect & Locate

We run the sewer camera, find the issue, and trace the line to the city tap.

2. Estimate

Every job includes a materials and labor breakdown you can verify yourself.

3. Line Locates

We schedule required 811 utility markings (48 hours for standard jobs; faster for emergencies).

4. Repair or Replace

Using precise, camera-guided excavation with minimal disturbance.

5. Inspection & Backfill

The city inspects our work before we cover the line.

Timeline: Most jobs take 4–6 hours. Larger or deeper projects may take 2–3 days, but we plan around your household needs and keep communication open the whole way.

Respect for Your Property

We take pride in leaving your yard as close to its original condition as possible:

  • Pulling and setting aside plants or bushes
  • Using plywood on driveways to prevent cracks or marks
  • Avoiding heavy equipment when possible, using a trencher for smaller, cleaner digs
  • Repairing any irrigation lines we hit during work

No Trenchless? Here’s Why

Some companies advertise trenchless repairs, but we’ve found traditional excavation offers better reliability, long-term performance, and peace of mind.

By using our sewer inspection camera and careful trenching methods, we dig only where needed — never more.

Water Pressure Regulation

Too much or too little pressure can cause all kinds of plumbing headaches — from burst lines to sluggish faucets. That’s why we always check your water pressure regulator during water line repair.

Our Solution

We inspect, adjust, or replace regulators as part of your water line repair or as a standalone service. Our goal is to keep your water system balanced and not overworked.

Benefits:

  • Prevents line stress and joint leaks 
  • Extends the lifespan of fixtures and appliances
  • Improves household water efficiency

We also install two-way sewer cleanouts with every project, allowing easy access to both the home and the street for future maintenance.


Looking for advanced pumping solutions? We also provide sewer pump installation and repair for homes that need uphill flow or detached garage connections.

Preventative Maintenance

A simple yearly inspection can save you thousands. It’s fast, affordable, and saves you money, especially in older homes with cast iron or galvanized lines.
