Camera inspection before every sewer job — so you know exactly what you're paying for before we dig. Licensed, insured, and based in Butler County. Call (316) 333-6326.
Butler County's housing stock has a median build year around 1981 — meaning a large share of properties in El Dorado, Augusta, and surrounding communities still have original clay or cast iron sewer lines. These materials don't last forever. Clay lines crack and allow root intrusion. Cast iron corrodes and eventually collapses. When either one starts failing, you get recurring backups, slow drains throughout the house, and eventually a complete line failure.
Sunflower Plumbing camera-inspects every sewer line job before recommending a repair or replacement. You'll see exactly what's in the line before we propose any work — cracks, root intrusion, bellied sections, collapse. We don't recommend full replacement when a targeted repair will solve the problem. And we don't attempt repairs on lines that are too far gone to hold them.
Because we also handle excavation, we're not subcontracting the dig — we do the full job from camera inspection through excavation, line replacement, backfill, and compaction.

Video inspection of the full sewer line from the clean-out to the city main or septic inlet. We record the inspection and can provide footage for insurance purposes or real estate transactions. Required before any repair or replacement recommendation we make.
Targeted repair of cracked sections, root intrusion points, and joint separations where the line condition supports repair. We excavate the specific section, repair or replace that portion, and restore proper slope. Documented with post-repair camera inspection.
Complete sewer line replacement from the house to the city main or septic system with modern PVC pipe. Because we handle our own excavation, we coordinate both trades under one contract — no finger-pointing between a plumber and a separate excavation contractor.
Mechanical root cutting and hydro jetting to clear root intrusion on lines that can tolerate jetting pressure. For lines where root cutting is a temporary fix due to underlying pipe condition, we'll be direct about the timeline — temporary fixes have their place, but not when they're sold as permanent solutions.
Recurring drain backups throughout the house, sewage odors inside or outside, slow drains in multiple fixtures at once, wet or sunken areas in the yard above the sewer line path, and gurgling sounds from drains after flushing are all warning signs. Any one of these warrants a camera inspection — catching a failing sewer line before it collapses is far cheaper than emergency excavation.
Yes, always. Camera inspection before any sewer line work is non-negotiable for us. You'll see exactly what's in the line — cracks, root intrusion, bellying, collapsed sections — before we recommend anything. We don't sell replacements on guesswork.
A standard residential sewer line replacement in El Dorado and Butler County typically takes 1–2 days depending on line length and depth. We excavate, replace with PVC, backfill, and compact. Yard restoration is included — we leave the property in reasonable condition, not just a trench you have to deal with.
