Sewer Lines Under Ardmore Homes
In Ardmore, pines, oaks and sweetgums grow close to homes, and their roots push into any sewer joint that leaks.
What we run into in Ardmore
- Shifting clay soil. Expansive clay swells when it is wet and shrinks in drought. That movement cracks pipe and pulls sewer joints out of line.
- Tree roots. Roots are the most common thing the camera finds here. Cutting them buys time; lining the pipe takes away the joints they get in through.

Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Ardmore, TN usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
Root intrusion at the joints
Roots enter through cracked or loose joints and grow into a mat. They are cut out, then lining seals the joints.
Cracked or offset pipe
Ground movement opens joints and cracks rigid pipe. Most of it can be lined; a badly offset joint may be burst.
Worn-out cast iron and Orangeburg
Old pipe that is scaling, flaking or losing its round shape is relined if it still holds its form, or replaced by bursting.
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.
Several drains slow at once
One slow sink is a local clog. Tubs, toilets and sinks slowing together point to the main line.
Backup in the lowest drain
Sewage rising in a floor drain, shower or basement fixture is the line telling you it cannot carry the flow.
Can't tell which one you have? Describe what the drains are doing, and the likely cause comes back on the call.
Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Ardmore
If the old pipe is intact enough for a liner to follow, lining is usually the least disruptive fix. Where it is crushed, Orangeburg or badly out of round, pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE line through the same route.
Still unsure which way your line will go? Call (833) 529-2616 with the age of the house and what the drains are doing. You will hear what a camera inspection is likely to show before anyone comes out.

Ardmore Homes by the Numbers
Few homes in Ardmore predate 1950 (about 4%), so the typical lateral is newer pipe, and repairs more often trace to root intrusion, shifted joints or a sag than to worn-out clay. Homes from 1950 to 1979 make up about 38% of the stock, an era with mixed lateral materials, and the median year built across Ardmore is 1988. With roughly 85% single-family homes and 69% owner-occupied, most Ardmore sewer laterals belong to the property owner, who decides whether to line, burst or patch.

What are the signs of a broken sewer line?
Watch for several slow drains together, gurgling toilets, backups in floor drains, sewer smell in the yard, wet or greener strips of lawn, and repeat clogs.
What are the disadvantages of trenchless pipe lining?
A liner follows the old pipe, so it cannot fix a collapsed section or a belly that holds water, and it narrows the bore slightly. Those cases call for bursting or a short dig.
How long does trenchless pipe lining last?
A cured-in-place liner is designed for roughly 50 years of service, and a burst-in HDPE line for 50 to 100.
