What we run into in Felton

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Felton
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Felton, DE 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
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.
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 Felton
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.
If you already have camera footage from a previous plumber or a home inspection, mention it when you call (833) 529-2616. It often settles lining versus bursting on the phone.
