Thousands of Miami Shores properties use septic tanks, and the Village is converting neighborhoods such as Shores Estates to sewer. Tell us whether your home is on septic or sewer and what your drains are doing. We pump, inspect and repair what you have now and explain what conversion means for your line.

Miami Shores homes
If you have an earlier inspection or recurring blockage history, share it when you call. The age of your home does not establish the condition of every pipe, and roots or deposits need an inspection before a repair method is chosen.
If your home is on septic, we pump your tank and look at what the pumping shows before anyone recommends a repair. If several drains back up together, a drain clearing and our camera show whether the problem is in your line or your system.
If your home is on sewer and its line is cracked or full of roots, lining can repair it from inside when your pipe is suitable. When your street converts to sewer, the new connection is a separate job, and we explain how it relates to your existing line.
Before work starts in Miami Shores
These facts come from the Village of Miami Shores and the State of Florida. The Village and the State issue the permits; we pump, inspect and repair the pipes on your property.
In a 2023 state funding request, the Village estimated that more than 4,000 homes and businesses were on septic tanks. Pumping your tank and inspecting your drain lines tell you the condition of your system before a conversion reaches your street.
The Village’s Shores Estates conversion ties homes into the City of North Miami’s wastewater system. Owners get one year to connect once the new sewer is in service and should not start before the Village gives formal notice. A lateral connection cannot be moved once it is installed, so tell us where your line leaves your house before yours is placed.
Under the Village’s process, building and plumbing permits go through Miami Shores, while abandoning a septic tank goes through the Florida Department of Health’s Miami-Dade office. State law requires a permit before any septic system is repaired, modified or abandoned. Tell us where your home stands, and we explain which part of the job is ours.
Trenchless lining in Miami Shores
Lining repairs a drain or sewer line that is cracked, scaled or full of roots but still holds its shape. If your home is on septic, we start with your tank and explain what pumping shows.
Step 1 of 4
Through an access point in your home, our camera shows the roots, scale and cracks in your accessible line, so your repair matches what we find rather than the age of your house.
Step 2 of 4
A chain descaler and water clear scale and roots from your pipe wall, so the liner has clean pipe to bond to.
Chain descalingStep 3 of 4
Our crew saturates the liner with resin, places it in your cleaned pipe and cures it against the old wall.
Step 4 of 4
Our final camera run follows your lined pipe through its bends and joints, and we go over the recording with you.
