Sewer Lines Under Ferndale Homes
In older Ferndale neighborhoods, the original clay or cast iron line is often 60 years old or more.
What we run into in Ferndale
- Aging pipe. In older Ferndale neighborhoods, sewer laterals are often the original clay or cast iron, laid in short sections with a joint every few feet.
- Basement exits. Basement floor drains are usually the first place a failing sewer line shows itself, because they are the lowest opening in the house.
- Deep frost. Freeze-thaw cycles move the soil around older pipe and open joints. Trenchless repair can go ahead without a long frozen trench.

Below are the faults behind most jobs for trenchless sewer line repair in Ferndale, PA, from root mats to flattened fiber pipe.
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
Cracks, holes and joints that have slipped out of line leak and snag waste. Lining covers them with new pipe.
Corroded or collapsing pipe
Old pipe that is scaling, flaking or losing its round shape is relined if it still holds its form, or replaced by bursting.
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.
Sewer smell outside
A smell near the cleanout or over the yard can mean a cracked pipe venting gas into the soil.
A dip in the yard or drive
Soil washing into a broken pipe can leave a depression or a small sinkhole above it.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Ferndale
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.

Ferndale Homes by the Numbers
A large share of Ferndale housing (about 56%) predates 1950, and laterals from that era were often clay or cast iron, which is why lining and bursting come up so often here. Another 41% were built between 1950 and 1979, a stretch when cast iron, clay and fiber (Orangeburg) laterals were all still in use, and the median home overall dates from 1947. About 88% of homes are single-family and 66% are owner-occupied; the lateral from the building to the city connection is generally the owner's responsibility, so the repair-or-replace decision is usually theirs.
Ferndale covers about 0.4 square miles and holds roughly 1,537 residents, around 3,941 per square mile: suburban in density, with a mix of detached homes and townhomes. It is number 325 by population of the 688 Pennsylvania places on our service list.

Most residential lines are inspected and lined or burst in one day, sometimes two. Water is off for a few hours while a liner cures.
