Sewer & Water Line Repair in Buffalo, MN
Family-owned trenchless sewer and water line repair for Buffalo homeowners since 1969 -- free camera inspection, upfront pricing, 5-year workmanship warranty.
A slow drain, sewage backup, or recurring clog can be a sign you need sewer repair, even in Buffalo homes built around 1993. Many homes from that era have PVC sewer laterals and copper or PVC water services, but issues like root intrusion, shifting soil, or damaged connections can still happen underground. Ouverson Sewer & Water has been family owned and operated since 1969, and we've specialized in trenchless sewer repair and CIPP pipe lining throughout the Twin Cities since 2007. We start every Buffalo estimate with a free camera inspection, so you can see exactly what's happening in your sewer line. If lining is the right solution, we'll explain why. If excavation is needed, we'll walk you through that option too with honest recommendations and upfront pricing.
What We Find in Buffalo Sewer Systems
Ouverson Sewer & Water provides trenchless sewer and water line repair and replacement throughout Buffalo and the greater Twin Cities metro area. Our services include CIPP patch repairs for isolated pipe damage, full-length CIPP liner installation for sewer lines with widespread root intrusion or deterioration, wye liner repairs at the branch connection where a lateral meets the main line, and free sewer camera inspections to evaluate the condition of your pipe before recommending a repair. We also complete water line replacement using minimally invasive HDPE pull-in methods with joint-free electrofusion fittings. When a Buffalo sewer line has collapsed or shifted out of grade, trenchless lining is no longer the right solution, so our crews handle excavation and replacement when needed. We do not offer standalone drain cleaning; every Buffalo sewer and water line project begins with a camera inspection, so you understand exactly what needs to be repaired before any work begins.
