Plumbing and drainage contractors Redford MI 48240

Hello Bigger Pocketeers,

I am an out of State investor. The tenants in my Redford, Michigan property have experienced flooding in the basement a few times over the past four years. Wasn't sure what was causing this, then last year a plumbing company did an inspection with their equipment and camera, apparently, the sewer line is broken and tree roots have entered it.  It seems that my options are:

a) Cut the tree down but apparently this is not a guaranteed fix to stop future flooding;

b) Snake the line every couple of months and cut and clear the tree roots from the line; here too this is not a guaranteed fix to stop future flooding; or

c) Repair the entire sewer line .

Has anyone dealt with this type of problem before? How did you solve it?

My property manager indicates he was only able to get 1 quote for repairing the sewer line.

Are there any companies in Redford or the surrounding areas you would recommend that I contact to have a look into this? Any idea what doing this type of work might/should cost?

Thanks in advance.

Paul
