The shower backs up when you flush the toilet. Several drains are slow at the same time, or the sewer smell keeps coming back after the drains have been cleaned. Those are signs we need to look deeper in your system.
Aztec works on sewer lines throughout Fort Myers and Southwest Florida. We find what is blocking or damaging the line first, then determine if it needs cleaning, repair, or replacement.

Signs You Need Sewer Service
A sewer problem often affects several fixtures instead of one sink or shower.
Watch for:
- Several slow drains
- Toilets or drains that gurgle
- Sewer odors that keep returning
- Sewage backing up into a tub or shower
- Clogs that return after drain cleaning
- Wet or sunken areas outside
Common Sewer Problems in Southwest Florida
Roots enter through cracks and loose joints and grow into the sewer line. Grease, scale, and other buildup narrow the pipe and slow the flow.
Pipe sections can shift and leave joints out of alignment. Cracks, corrosion, and other damage need to be found before we know if cleaning or repair is needed.
Our Sewer Services
Sewer Camera Inspection
A sewer camera inspection gives us a look inside accessible parts of the line. We check for visible roots, buildup, corrosion, cracks, shifted joints, and collapsed sections.
Sewer Cleaning and Hydro Jetting
Grease, scale, roots, and other buildup need to be removed when they are blocking the sewer. Hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to clean the inside of a line when the pipe is in good enough condition for that method.
Sewer Line Repair
A damaged section does not always mean the entire sewer needs to be replaced. Sewer line repair fixes localized cracks, breaks, or other damage when the rest of the line is still in usable condition.
Trenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless sewer repair installs a liner inside a qualifying sewer pipe. This limits how much of the area above the line needs to be opened during the repair.
Sewer Line Replacement
A collapsed or badly deteriorated sewer needs replacement when repairing one section will not correct the damage throughout the line. The damaged pipe is removed and new sewer pipe is installed.
Sewer Cleaning vs. Sewer Repair: What's the Difference?
Cleaning removes material that is blocking the sewer. Repair fixes damage to the pipe itself.
A camera inspection helps us see which problem we are dealing with before the work begins.
When Can Trenchless Sewer Repair Be Used?
The existing pipe needs enough structure to support a liner. A fully collapsed or badly shifted section cannot be lined.
For a sewer under a slab, driveway, patio, or established landscaping, trenchless work limits excavation when the pipe qualifies. Traditional repair is needed when the line cannot support a liner.
Sewer Problems in Older Fort Myers Homes
Many older Fort Myers homes have cast-iron sewer lines, including pipes beneath slab foundations. Years of corrosion leave the inside rough and weaken sections of the pipe.
Mature roots enter cracks and damaged joints outside the home. A history of sewer repairs or backups gives us another reason to inspect an older line for damage.
What to Do if Sewage Backs Up Into Your Home
Stop unnecessary water use when sewage starts coming back through a tub, shower, toilet, or other fixture. Sending more water down the drains adds to a line that is already backed up.
Keep children and pets away from wastewater and avoid contact with the affected area. Call for professional help to find and clear the blockage or damaged sewer line.
