drag to compare
When a sewer line is a good candidate, cured-in-place pipe lining can form a new structural wall inside the existing pipe. Camera inspection confirms whether lining, cleaning, or excavation is the right next step.

Steve C.
Camera inspection turned a $14k excavation quote into a far smaller fix
Camera InspectionHonest AdviceFair PricingSewer Repair
“He came and inspected the main pipe with a camera and was able to tell me exactly what the problem was. What was almost a $14k excavation job quoted from Roto-Rooter became something far less and I cannot thank Mike enough. There's not that many honest tradesmen these days.”

Thank you Steven.

Local GuideHigh-pressure hydrojetting cleared years of buildup — far beyond what snaking could do
HydrojettingDrain CleaningCamera InspectionPunctuality
“We recently had high-pressure water jetting done on our main sewer line, and I couldn't be more impressed. The crew was professional, punctual, and clearly experienced. They explained everything upfront and used top-of-the-line equipment to completely clear out years of buildup. What really stood out was how thorough the cleaning was — far more effective than traditional snaking. You could literally hear the difference in water flow afterward.”

Drain CleaningCamera InspectionVideo ReportHonest Advice
“So happy that my tub finally drains properly! Travis and Vito were very polite, professional and thorough while clearing the pipe all the way out to the main line. They explained everything clearly while showing me the camera footage of the work they had done. Mike Walsh, the owner, was also a pleasure to deal with. Nobody tried to sell me any additional services or products that I did not need.”

Common Questions
Trenchless Sewer Repair FAQ
What services does East Coast Pipelines provide?
East Coast Pipelines provides sewer camera inspection, pipe locating, drain cleaning, hydrojetting, root removal, pipe lining, and sewer repair for homeowners and properties in the greater Boston area.
What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless sewer repair addresses underground pipe problems with less excavation than full replacement. When the pipe is a good candidate, CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining forms a new structural wall inside the existing sewer line through cleanout or access points.
How much does sewer repair cost in the Boston area?
Cost depends on pipe length, diameter, access, and condition. East Coast Pipelines inspects the line first so you understand the problem and get an upfront price before work begins. Call 781-267-5091 to schedule service.
What areas does East Coast Pipelines serve?
East Coast Pipelines is headquartered at 52 Joan Drive, Quincy, MA 02169 and serves Greater Boston and the South Shore including Boston, Quincy, Cambridge, Brookline, Newton, Somerville, Braintree, Weymouth, Hingham, Dorchester, South Boston, and surrounding Suffolk and Norfolk County communities.
How do I know if I need a sewer camera inspection?
If your sewer backs up more than once, drains slowly, smells like sewage, or keeps clogging after cleaning, a camera inspection can show what is happening inside the line before repair options are discussed.
Do you offer help with sewer backups?
Yes. East Coast Pipelines helps homeowners with sewer backups, slow drains, and recurring clogs across Greater Boston and the South Shore. Call 781-267-5091 for sewer and drain help.
