Broken or collapsed pipe
Sections that have cracked, crushed, or lost continuity — repaired or replaced to restore a solid, full-diameter line the flow can actually get through.
Repair the cause, not only the clog
When cleaning restores flow but the camera shows broken, offset, root-damaged, or collapsed pipe, the clog keeps coming back until the pipe is fixed. Jetstar Plumbing and Drains repairs and replaces sewer lines — matched to the actual failure, not a worst-case guess.
Understand the problem

A sewer line should not be replaced because it clogged once. Repair is the answer when camera footage, locating, or a repeat history proves the pipe itself can no longer carry wastewater — a break, a collapse, offset joints, or roots feeding through a crack.
Jetstar Plumbing and Drains repairs and replaces sewer lines across Utah County and Salt Lake County. We tie camera evidence, access, depth, pipe material, and site conditions to a straight recommendation — a spot repair, a section replacement, or a full line replacement — and price it before we dig.
Sewer failures in older Salt Lake and Utah County neighborhoods usually come down to the pipe's age and material. Homes built through the mid-20th century often run on clay or cast iron; clay joints separate and invite roots, cast iron corrodes and scales shut from the inside, and a few eras of Orangeburg pipe simply deform and collapse. Add mature trees hunting for water and the freeze-thaw ground movement common along the Wasatch Front, and a line that drained fine for decades can fail over a single season. That is why we lead with a camera: it turns a guess about 'the sewer' into a located, measured defect, so the repair is scoped to the actual failure instead of the worst thing it could be.
Talk through the symptomsScope
Sections that have cracked, crushed, or lost continuity — repaired or replaced to restore a solid, full-diameter line the flow can actually get through.
Misaligned connections that snag debris and let roots and groundwater in, located on camera and corrected at the joint rather than endlessly re-cleaned.
Recurring roots traced back to the specific crack or joint they enter through and fixed at the source, so cutting them out actually holds this time.
Sags that pond wastewater and trap solids, re-graded so the line drains by gravity again instead of collecting the next clog in the same low spot.
Know the signs
If these symptoms are active or worsening, call before water or wastewater creates a larger problem.
Fast recurrence — clear it, and it's back in days or weeks — points to a structural defect that keeps catching debris or feeding roots, not a one-time clog.
A collapsed, offset, or badly deformed spot physically stops the inspection and cleaning equipment, which tells us exactly where the line has failed.
A soft, sinking, or unusually soggy patch along the sewer route — greener grass, a low spot, a sinkhole — often means the line is leaking underground.
A visible failure at a located, measured position is the basis for a precise, priced repair instead of exploratory digging and guesswork.
Straight answer on price
Sewer repair is scoped from inspection evidence, so the price matches the actual damage instead of a worst-case guess. What drives it:
Typical range
$1,500 – $4,500
Utah market estimate. Underground repair scope varies widely and is confirmed after a camera inspection.
A single cracked joint is a spot repair; a collapsed run is a much larger job.
A deep line under concrete or landscaping costs more to reach than a shallow one.
A spot fix, a section replacement, and a full line each price differently.
Restoring driveway, concrete, or landscaping disturbed over the line is part of the price.
Inspect → act → verify
Camera inspection and service history establish exactly what's wrong, where it is, and why repair — not just another cleaning — is on the table.
We pinpoint the damaged run, its depth, the route, nearby utilities, and the restoration needs before any digging, then price the work up front.
The approved method — a targeted spot repair or a full line replacement — restores a dependable sewer line built to last, not a patch.
Connections, grade, and flow are tested and camera-checked before the site is backfilled and restored, so you can see the line is right.
Why Jetstar
Jetstar Plumbing and Drains starts from camera findings, so you pay for the repair the pipe actually needs — not the biggest one that could be sold.
We compare a targeted repair against a full replacement on access, pipe condition, and your property before recommending one, and explain the trade-offs.
Cleaning, camera, locating, and repair stay with one crew instead of splitting into separate guesses, second opinions, and handoffs between companies.
