A clogged drain is frustrating. A broken drain line is a much bigger problem.
Cracked pipes, collapsed drain lines, root intrusion, and damaged sewer pipes can lead to recurring backups, foul odors, slow drainage, water damage, and soggy areas around your property. In many cases, the issue is no longer the clog itself — it’s the condition of the pipe.
GoHero Home Services provides drain repair in Knoxville, TN. Our team identifies damaged drain lines, explains the cause of the problem, and provides repair or replacement solutions designed to restore proper drainage throughout your home.
Some drain problems cannot be solved with cleaning alone.
Common signs of a damaged drain line include:
If you continue experiencing the same drain problems after repeated cleanings, the drain pipe itself may be damaged.
Cracks allow wastewater to leak into surrounding soil and can eventually lead to larger pipe failures.
A collapsed pipe can block wastewater completely and often requires partial or full drain line replacement.
Tree roots naturally seek moisture and frequently invade underground drain and sewer pipes through small cracks and joints.
Older Knoxville homes may contain aging cast iron, galvanized, or metal drain pipes that deteriorate over time.
Ground movement and settling can cause pipe sections to separate, allowing leaks and blockages to develop.
Effective drain repair starts with an accurate diagnosis.
Our team often uses a specialized drain camera inspection to examine the inside of the pipe and locate the source of the problem.
A camera inspection can identify:
This allows us to recommend the most effective repair option without unnecessary digging or guesswork.
Not every damaged drain pipe needs to be replaced.
When possible, we repair isolated sections of pipe to restore proper function while minimizing disruption to your property.
However, replacement may be the better option when:
Our technicians explain your options so you can make the best decision for your home and budget.
Some Knoxville homes have older drain systems made from clay, cast iron, Orangeburg, or aging metal materials.
When these systems begin failing, replacement often provides the most reliable long-term solution.
GoHero can replace damaged drain lines, sewer connections, and underground piping systems while helping restore reliable drainage throughout the property.

If you’re dealing with frequent clogs, slow drains throughout the home, foul odors, or even soggy spots in your yard, the issue may be a damaged drain line. A camera inspection is the best way to confirm whether the pipe itself is cracked or collapsed.
Older pipes made of clay, cast iron, or corroded metal eventually weaken over time. Tree roots are another common culprit, especially in East Tennessee’s wooded neighborhoods. Shifting soil and heavy usage can also cause lines to crack or collapse.
It depends on the severity of the damage. Small cracks or leaks can often be patched or relined. But if the pipe is severely broken, collapsed, or deteriorated, replacement is usually the best long-term solution.
Minor drain repairs can often be completed in a single visit. Full drain replacements, especially sewer main lines, may take a day or two depending on the length and depth of the pipe. We’ll always give you a clear timeline before work begins.
Whenever possible, we use camera inspections and trenchless techniques to minimize disruption. In some cases, excavation is necessary, but we always work carefully and restore the area when finished.
Costs vary based on the type of damage and whether repair or replacement is needed. A small cracked line costs far less than replacing a collapsed sewer pipe. We provide upfront pricing so there are no surprises.
Sometimes. If the damage is sudden and accidental, your policy may help cover repairs. If it’s due to age, wear, or lack of maintenance, it usually isn’t covered. We recommend checking your policy for details.
Sometimes frequent clogs or recurring drain issues are actually symptoms of deteriorating or corroded pipes. In those cases, simple repairs may only provide temporary relief. Our team can assess your system and recommend whole-home repiping if needed. Repiping replaces aging plumbing with new, long-lasting materials — helping prevent leaks, blockages, and costly future repairs.
