Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Fairfax Station, VA usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
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
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.
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.
Clogs that keep coming back
If the line needs snaking every few months, something in the pipe, usually roots or a break, is catching waste.
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.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Fairfax Station
The camera settles it. Sound but leaking pipe gets lined; broken-down pipe gets burst; a single bad spot gets a patch liner. A sag that holds water is the one case where a short dig may be needed.
