Our Services

Your sewer line works quietly underground every day, carrying wastewater away from your home without a second thought. When something goes wrong, though, it gets your attention fast. Slow drains, foul odors, and sewage backups are stressful and tend to worsen the longer they go unaddressed.

At Bighorn Plumbing, we help Carson City homeowners get to the root of sewer problems and fix them right. Founded in 2023 by Jesse and Trebeca Itzen, our family-owned team was built to bring fast, honest plumbing service back to Northern Nevada. We explain what we find, walk you through your options, and give you a clear price before any work begins.

Emergency Response

Warning Signs Your Carson City Home Needs Sewer Line Repair

Sewer line damage rarely shows up all at once. Most homeowners notice small changes first, and catching them early can save you from a bigger repair down the road. Keep an eye out for these common warning signs.

  • Several drains in your home are slow at the same time.
  • You hear gurgling from toilets or sinks after running water.
  • Sewage smells linger inside the house or around the yard.
  • Water backs up into a tub or shower when you flush.
  • One patch of lawn stays greener or soggier than the rest.
If you notice more than one of these at once, the issue is likely in the main sewer line rather than a single drain. That is a good time to call a professional before a minor problem turns into a messy backup.

What Causes Residential Sewer Line Damage in Carson City

Every home is different, but sewer lines in Carson City face a few local challenges that homeowners in other parts of the country may never deal with. Understanding what causes damage can help you protect your system.

  • Tree roots are growing into joints and small cracks.
  • Freeze-and-thaw cycles that shift the surrounding soil.
  • Aging clay or cast iron pipes in older neighborhoods.
  • Grease and wipes are building up into stubborn clogs.

Our high desert climate plays a bigger role than most people realize. Carson City winters bring cold nights followed by sunny afternoons, and that constant freezing and thawing causes the ground to expand and contract. Over time, that movement can crack pipes or pull joints out of alignment.

Many homes in the historic district and older parts of town still rely on original clay or cast-iron sewer lines. These materials were built to last, but decades of use, corrosion, and shifting soil eventually take their toll. Mature trees that shade so many Carson City streets also send roots searching for moisture, and a small crack in a sewer pipe is exactly what they look for.

Residential Sewer Line Repair Services We Provide

Every sewer repair starts with a professional diagnosis. Guessing leads to wasted money, so our plumbers take the time to pinpoint the problem and its cause. Once we know exactly what is going on, we explain it in plain language and give you multiple repair options based on your needs and budget.

We take a repair-first approach whenever it makes sense. If a single damaged section is causing the trouble, repairing just that section is often the smartest move. When a line has widespread cracking, sagging, or severe root intrusion, replacing the affected pipe may be the better long-term investment. Either way, you get our honest recommendation and the reasons behind it, so you can make the choice that feels right for your home.

Our residential sewer line repair work covers clearing stubborn blockages, repairing cracked or broken pipes, addressing root damage, and fixing sections that have shifted or collapsed. We focus on long-term solutions rather than temporary patches because nobody wants to deal with the same sewer problem twice.

Throughout the job, we keep you informed. You will know what we are doing, how long it should take, and what it will cost. Our technicians treat your property with respect and clean up when the work is done.

How do I know if the problem is my sewer line or just a clogged drain?
A single slow drain usually points to a local clog. When multiple fixtures drain slowly or back up at the same time, the main sewer line is the more likely cause.
The cost depends on the location of the damage, the pipe material, and the repair method needed. We diagnose the issue first and give you upfront pricing before any work begins.
Yes. Roots are drawn to the moisture inside sewer pipes and can enter through small cracks or loose joints. Over time, they grow larger and can block or break the line.
No. We take a repair-first approach whenever it is practical. If only one section is damaged, a targeted repair is often the most cost-effective option.
Yes. Our 24/7 live answering means you can reach us anytime, and we offer same-day service for urgent sewer problems when available.
