Sewer Lateral Repair – Franklin, WI

Upon arriving at the property in Franklin, WI, we found that the sump pump discharge line was backing up outside, preventing water from draining properly away from the home. To accurately diagnose the issue, we performed a comprehensive camera inspection of the drainage system.

During the inspection, we discovered that the existing corrugated discharge pipe had collapsed near the street, creating a significant obstruction and restricting water flow. This damaged section of pipe is preventing the sump pump from discharging water efficiently, which can increase the risk of water accumulation around the foundation.

Based on our findings, we recommended two potential solutions: replacing the entire discharge line for a long-term fix or excavating and repairing the damaged section of pipe to restore proper drainage. Additionally, we advised installing dedicated splash gutter lines to redirect roof runoff separately, ensuring that only the sump pump discharge enters this drainage line. This improvement will help reduce strain on the system, improve drainage performance, and minimize the likelihood of future backups.

Our inspection provided a clear diagnosis and allowed us to recommend the most effective repair options to protect the property from potential water damage and drainage issues in Franklin, Wisconsin.
