What we run into in Akron
- Aging pipe. Plenty of laterals around Akron are older than the people living above them. Age alone is often what finally opens the joints.
- Basement exits. Basement floor drains are usually the first place a failing sewer line shows itself, because they are the lowest opening in the house.
- Deep frost. Freeze-thaw cycles move the soil around older pipe and open joints. Trenchless repair can go ahead without a long frozen trench.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Akron
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Akron, OH usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
Roots in the line
Cutting roots clears the pipe for a while; a liner removes the joints they get through, so they stay out.
Breaks and shifted joints
Cracks, holes and joints that have slipped out of line leak and snag waste. Lining covers them with new pipe.
Corroded or collapsing pipe
Cast iron scales and rots from inside, and Orangeburg flattens. Cast iron is often lined; Orangeburg is usually burst.
Soggy or extra-green strip
A wet patch or a stripe of greener grass along the line's path is often a leak feeding the lawn.
A dip in the yard or drive
Soil washing into a broken pipe can leave a depression or a small sinkhole above it.
Water standing in the line
A camera that shows water pooling in one stretch has found a belly, which affects which method can be used.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Akron
Lining suits a pipe that still holds its shape: cracks, root entry, corrosion and small offsets. Bursting suits a pipe that is collapsed, flattened or too small, because it replaces the line rather than coating it.

Akron Homes by the Numbers
About 44% of homes in Akron were built before 1950, when sewer laterals were commonly clay tile or cast iron, materials that crack, separate at the joints and let roots in as they age. Homes from 1950 to 1979 make up about 40% of the stock, an era with mixed lateral materials, and the median year built across Akron is 1954. With roughly 71% single-family homes and 51% owner-occupied, most Akron sewer laterals belong to the property owner, who decides whether to line, burst or patch.
