Highly recommend Jackson at Glacier Plumbing. He took care of some plumbing work at my house and did a great job start to finish - showed up on time, knew exactly what he was doing, and the work was clean and solid. Straightforward about pricing, no surprises, and he didn't leave a mess behind. Easy to deal with and clearly takes pride in his work. If you need a plumber you can trust, Jackson's your guy.

We were looking to replace a bathtub in our master bath, but it seemed like it would be too expensive to do so. We got an amazing quote from Glacier and decided to go ahead with it. There was some confusion about the quote and it was considerably lower than it should have been, but Glacier honored it. It is rare to find a company that will stand by its word like that. I couldn't be more impressed. The technician who came out to do the demo was on time, respectful of our home, and he went out of his way to make sure all of our questions were answered - even questions we didn't know we had yet.

recently had Glacier Plumbing install a driveway heating system at my home and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. Jackson and Ethan, the owners, were both fantastic to work with from start to finish. Ethan handled most of the installation himself, and his attention to detail and craftsmanship really stood out. The entire process was smooth, professional, and well-communicated. They took the time to explain everything clearly and made sure the job was done right. It’s clear they take pride in their work, and it shows in the final result. If you’re considering a driveway heater or any plumbing work, I highly recommend Glacier Plumbing. Jackson and Ethan truly deliver excellent service and quality work.

As the Landlord who wasn't with them every step of the way, Bret was astute and went beyond my expectations. Their reply wasn't as quickly received and communication was tricky (because of me), but they won my business. They were cooperative, available when I needed them, and good on the pricing. Yes, I would do business with them again. In this case, my only request would be completion pictures from Glacier.

I had called because we had no heat. Jackson responded and arranged to come out on a Sunday. He got the heat working temporarily. He and his business partner came again a few days later to install a new boiler. They did a fantastic job! They worked quickly and did a great job. Jackson even checked the temperature on our water heater. Jackson explained things well to us. I would recommend this company and use them again in the future.

I’d recommend Glacier to others who need help with their hydronic heat system.

Our water heater needed to be replaced and some pipes as well to go with it. Thankfully it was done the same day and we have him coming back to fix a few other things too! Very professional, efficient and honest, you can’t find many people like that anymore. Thanks !

Our boiler that was installed three years ago broke down and we came to find out that the company that produces those boilers went out of business unexpectedly. We reached out to the previous company that installed it for us and they tried to charge us $5000 more than the original install to replace it. We reached out to glacier and they provided us with a fair replacement of a reputable piece of US built equipment and we were back up and running in about 24 hours. If you’re looking for fair pricing, good quality and superior customer service don’t hesitate to give them a call. You can really tell that they care about the work they do and their customers. Thank You Jackson and Glacier!

100% recommend Glacier Plumbing and Hydronics - our older HTP boiler broke down. Unfortunately we called a general plumber first and didn’t realize how specialized the system was. A costly lesson. Found Glacier Plumbing and Ethan came in next day. So professional. Clean working, super knowledgeable. We decided to replace the boiler since the other was no longer viable. The new boiler was up and running quickly and now is better than before.

I have had a great experience with Glacier. My boiler would not light so I previously called one of the larger HVAC organizations that works in the valley and it cost me $350 for no solutions and lots of negative feelings. Their representative knew exactly what to look for and exactly how my boiler functioned. I was not asked to pay for the initial visit, but I plan to have my boiler replaced rather than just repair because it is very old. I will update my review after they have replaced the boiler.

We received prompt and professional service for full boiler replacement. After 3 bids, we decided on Glacier and a day and a half later we were back up and running with a new boiler. Jackson did a great job during the installation, and his communications were excellent. He then followed up a couple days later to be sure everything was running smoothly and took the time to teach us about our new system. I have no hesitation recommending this company.

Jackson at Glacier Plumbing did a fantastic job for us. Our driveway snow melting system had shutdown due to a leak in the boiler system. It’s hard to find someone that specializes in boilers and radiant heating systems. I lucked out when I called Glacier Plumbing and Hydronics. Not only did Jackson have an amazing understanding of the total system, but he was able to obtain the parts necessary and get the system up and working right away. I would highly recommend this company, especially for boiler works, but also for any other plumbing needs. Thomas Paddock

Diagnosing the Damaged Sewer Section

Accurate diagnosis helps define the location and extent of sewer damage. Our assessment begins with the symptoms, affected fixtures, cleanout access, pipe route, and repair history.

A sewer camera inspection may be recommended when the line is accessible and conditions allow it. The camera can reveal visible cracks, roots, corrosion, standing water, offset joints, and obstructions. Detailed information about this diagnostic service is available on the dedicated Pipe Inspection Camera in North Salt Lake page.

A camera image is only one part of the assessment. Pipe depth, surface conditions, drainage performance, and access must also be considered when planning the repair.

Conventional and Less-Disruptive Repair Options

Some sewer repairs require excavation to expose the damaged pipe. Certain properties may support less-disruptive methods, but suitability depends on the pipe’s condition, diameter, alignment, access points, and type of failure.

A collapsed or badly offset pipe may require excavation even when a trenchless approach was initially preferred. We recommend a method only after evaluating the actual conditions at the property.

Sewer Problems Affecting North Salt Lake Properties

North Salt Lake includes established neighborhoods, newer developments, hillside homes, and commercial corridors. Each can present different sewer-access and ground-condition challenges.

Homes near Eaglewood may have elevation and slope considerations, while properties in Foxboro and Springhill can have different pipe materials and construction layouts. Established properties closer to Highway 89 may be more likely to have aging sewer components. Commercial sites near Redwood Road and I-15 may experience heavier drainage demands and require careful scheduling to limit disruption.

Seasonal ground movement, mature landscaping, freezing conditions, and settlement can all contribute to sewer pipe problems across the area.

What to Do During a Sewer Backup

If wastewater begins backing up into the building:

  1. Stop using toilets, sinks, showers, washing machines, and dishwashers.
  2. Keep people and pets away from contaminated water.
  3. Do not use chemical drain cleaners.
  4. Avoid operating electrical equipment near standing wastewater.
  5. Call a licensed plumber for an assessment.
  6. Arrange appropriate cleanup if sewage has entered occupied areas.

Wastewater may contain harmful contaminants. Protective equipment and proper sanitation procedures are important during cleanup.

Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Professional Attention

A blockage affecting one fixture may be confined to that drain. When several fixtures develop problems simultaneously, the main sewer line may be involved.

Arrange a sewer inspection if you notice:

  • Multiple drains moving slowly
  • Toilets bubbling when sinks or tubs drain
  • Wastewater backing up through a floor drain
  • Recurring clogs after previous clearing
  • Sewage odors inside or outside
  • Wet or unusually green areas in the yard
  • Soft or sunken ground above the sewer route
  • Unexplained pest activity near drain areas
  • Wastewater appearing around a cleanout
  • Toilets that will not flush normally

Continuing to use plumbing fixtures during an active backup can force more wastewater into the building. Limit water use and arrange service promptly.

Common Causes of Sewer Line Damage

Underground sewer pipes are affected by age, pipe material, ground conditions, and what enters the drainage system.

Common causes include:

  • Tree-root intrusion
  • Shifting or settling soil
  • Separated pipe joints
  • Cracks caused by age or pressure
  • Corrosion in older metal piping
  • Sagging sections that hold wastewater
  • Grease and non-flushable materials
  • Accidental excavation damage
  • Improperly installed connections

Clearing a blockage may restore temporary drainage, but it will not correct a cracked, displaced, or deteriorated pipe. We determine whether the problem is an obstruction or physical damage before recommending repair.

Targeted Sewer Line Repair

A localized repair may be appropriate when damage is confined to one section and the remaining sewer line is structurally serviceable. The affected area is accessed, the failed pipe is removed or corrected, and compatible connections are installed.

Localized repairs may address:

  • A cracked pipe section
  • One displaced joint
  • Isolated root entry
  • A damaged cleanout connection
  • A puncture from excavation
  • A small collapsed area
  • Deterioration near the building connection

After repair, the line is tested to confirm that wastewater drains correctly through the restored section.

When Sewer Line Replacement May Be Necessary

Repairing one section may not provide good long-term value when damage is widespread. More extensive replacement may be recommended when:

  • Several sections have failed
  • The pipe has extensive corrosion
  • Roots have entered at multiple joints
  • The line has recurring collapses or separations
  • A large section has lost proper slope
  • Previous repairs have not stopped backups
  • The existing pipe material is severely deteriorated
  • Repair costs approach the cost of replacement

We explain the visible condition of the pipe and the practical difference between another repair and broader replacement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Line Repair

Cost depends on the pipe’s depth, location, material, damage, accessibility, repair method, and the surfaces above it. An inspection is required before we can determine the repair scope and price.

Multiple slow drains, recurring backups, bubbling toilets, sewage odors, wastewater near a cleanout, and wet areas above the sewer route can indicate main-line trouble. A professional inspection is needed to confirm the cause.

Some sewer lines qualify for less-disruptive repair methods. Eligibility depends on the pipe’s structural condition, alignment, access, and type of damage. Collapsed or severely displaced pipes may still require excavation.

Property owners are commonly responsible for the private sewer lateral connecting their building to the public system. Responsibility can vary near connection points and public rights-of-way, so confirm the affected section before work begins.

Yes, especially when wastewater enters occupied rooms, several fixtures are affected, or toilets cannot be used. Stop using water, avoid contact with sewage, and request professional service promptly.
