These are the failures behind most calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Chester, MD. A camera pass usually shows which one you have.
Roots in the line
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
Cast iron scales and rots from inside, and Orangeburg flattens. Cast iron is often lined; Orangeburg is usually burst.
A dip in the yard or drive
Soil washing into a broken pipe can leave a depression or a small sinkhole above it.
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.
Several drains slow at once
One slow sink is a local clog. Tubs, toilets and sinks slowing together point to the main line.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Chester

With roughly 67% single-family homes and 65% owner-occupied, most Chester sewer laterals belong to the property owner, who decides whether to line, burst or patch.
