Straight Line Sewer Pros is a sewer line repair business serving homes and businesses across Maine. Our office city is Portland, and our work covers the cities in Maine that run on municipal sewer systems. Every job starts the same way: with a camera, so the repair matches what the line actually needs.
Maine has the oldest housing stock in the country, and old houses usually sit over old pipes. Clay pipe from before the 1970s cracks at its joints and lets roots in. Cast iron from before the 1980s corrodes from the inside. Orangeburg pipe from the 1940s to the 1970s has passed its working life. That is the ground this business works on, from Portland up through Bangor and across to the smaller sewered cities in between.
A visit starts with a conversation about the symptoms: backups, slow drains, a smell that will not go away, or a wet patch in the yard. Then comes the camera. The camera run shows the condition of the pipe itself, joint by joint, and the footage decides what happens next. A line that still holds its shape may suit lining or coating. A line that has lost its shape points toward bursting or traditional replacement. A single bad joint may need only a spot repair.
The honest limits matter as much as the options. A collapsed pipe, a deep belly, or a badly offset joint cannot be lined, and no honest recommendation pretends otherwise. The camera footage is the evidence for the recommendation, and the repair follows from what it shows rather than from a guess made at the surface.
Where We Work
Our fifteen cities run from the southern Maine cluster around Portland, South Portland, Westbrook, Scarborough, and Gorham, through Lewiston and Auburn, up to Bangor, and down the coast through Biddeford, Saco, and Kennebunk, with Sanford, Augusta, Waterville, and Brunswick in between. Each city page describes the local picture for that town. If your town is not one of the fifteen, call and ask: the list on the Locations page is the current coverage, and it is kept up to date there.
Septic systems are a different system, and we do not service them. About half of Maine homes run on individual septic systems rather than public sewer, so the distinction matters. If you are unsure which system your home uses, the sewer line versus septic system post explains how to tell.

It starts with a conversation about the symptoms, then a camera inspection of the line. The footage shows the condition of the pipe, and the repair options follow from what the camera finds.
