Sewer Smell & Sewer Backup Repair in Tampa
Smelling sewer gas in the house, or seeing water come up in a tub or floor drain? That’s a warning sign. We find the cause and fix it before it turns into a bigger mess.
Sewer smell and backups
Find the source, not just the symptom
A sewer smell inside the house usually means sewer gas is getting past something that should be blocking it — a dry drain trap, a failed toilet wax ring, a cracked vent pipe, or a damaged sewer line.
A backup is more urgent. When flushing a toilet makes a tub gurgle, or water rises in the lowest drain in the house, the main sewer line is usually clogged by roots, grease or a collapsed section of pipe.
Sewage coming up right now? Stop running water and flushing toilets, keep people and pets away from it, and call us — we handle emergencies 24/7.

Our process
How we handle sewer smells and backups
Clear the line, find the real cause, and fix it so it doesn’t come back.
Stop the backup
If sewage is backing up, we clear the main line first so you can use your plumbing again.
Camera inspection
We run a camera through the line to see exactly what caused the problem — roots, grease, a belly, or broken pipe.
Fix the cause
We show you the footage, give you an upfront price, and repair what we found, from a simple seal to a sewer line repair.
Why Tampa homeowners call us for sewer problems
Clearing a clog without finding out why it happened usually means paying for the same call again in a few months. We use a camera so you see the problem for yourself before deciding on a repair.
We’re licensed and insured (CFC1431054), have 30 years of Tampa-area experience, and carry a BBB A+ rating — and you get an upfront price before any work starts.
If the camera shows roots or grease, hydro jetting scours the line clean. If it shows broken or collapsed pipe, see our sewer line repair and replacement page.
Financing available
Bigger sewer repairs don’t have to wait. We offer financing options so you can get it fixed now and pay over time.
