Sewer Lines Under Braddock Heights Homes

What we run into in Braddock Heights
- 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.
- Aging pipe. Plenty of laterals around Braddock Heights are older than the people living above them. Age alone is often what finally opens the joints.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Braddock Heights
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Braddock Heights, MD 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.
Sewer smell outside
A smell near the cleanout or over the yard can mean a cracked pipe venting gas into the soil.
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.
Failed sewer scope at sale
Home inspections now often include a camera pass, and a bad report can stall a sale until the line is fixed.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Braddock Heights
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.
