Sewer Services in Fairfax, VA
Residential Sewer Line Inspection & Repair in Fairfax County & Northern Virginia
Most homeowners rarely think about their sewer line until they have to. The lateral line running from a house to the municipal sewer main is the homeowner's responsibility to maintain. Because it sits underground, problems often develop invisibly. In Fairfax County, many mid-20th-century homes still use aging clay or cast-iron lines that have been deteriorating for decades.
Long's Corporation has been diagnosing and repairing residential sewer systems across Northern Virginia since 1936. We can use camera inspection technology to show you exactly what is happening underground, which allows us to build an accurate plan without any guesswork or unnecessary digging.

How Tree Roots Find Their Way into Your Pipes
Tree roots are drawn to moisture, and a sewer line carrying warm, humid wastewater creates an attractive target. Roots don't break through healthy, intact pipe; they enter joints, cracks, or deteriorated sections, then grow inside the line, expanding until flow is partially or fully blocked. The tree causing the problem may not even be close to the pipe's surface trace, as root systems extend far beyond the visible canopy. The species common to Fairfax County yards (oaks, silver maples, and willows in particular) are among the most aggressive in this regard.
A camera inspection from our team can identify root intrusion, showing the extent of the problem and whether clearing is sufficient or whether the damaged section needs to be replaced.

The Difference Between a Clog & a Structural Failure
Sewer issues often present similar symptoms, such as slow drains, gurgling sounds, or odors in the yard. The correct solution depends entirely on what is actually happening inside the pipe. A soft clog from grease and debris can typically be cleared with professional cleaning. In contrast, a bellied section where the pipe has settled and sags will repeatedly re-clog because waste pools at the low point rather than flowing toward the main.
When a section has collapsed or suffered severe root damage, it requires a more permanent repair or replacement to restore function. Treating a structural problem as a simple clog is one of the most common and costly mistakes in residential sewer maintenance.
At Long's Corporation, we start every service by getting a clear picture of the situation underground before making a recommendation. This approach allows us to provide an honest assessment so you can make an informed decision for your home.
