Sewer Lines Under Frankton Homes
In Frankton, winter frost goes deep and spring thaws move the ground, and older clay and cast iron sewer lines crack and shift with it.
What we run into in Frankton
- Aging pipe. In older Frankton neighborhoods, sewer laterals are often the original clay or cast iron, laid in short sections with a joint every few feet.
- Basement exits. Many homes here have basements, so the sewer line leaves below the floor and runs deep under the yard. A long, deep trench is exactly what trenchless avoids.
- Deep frost. Freeze-thaw cycles move the soil around older pipe and open joints. Trenchless repair can go ahead without a long frozen trench.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Frankton
Below are the faults behind most jobs for trenchless sewer line repair in Frankton, IN, from root mats to flattened fiber pipe.
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.
Toilets gurgle or bubble
Air pushed back through the trap when other fixtures drain means the line is partly blocked downstream.
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.
Sewer smell outside
A smell near the cleanout or over the yard can mean a cracked pipe venting gas into the soil.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Frankton
If the old pipe is intact enough for a liner to follow, lining is usually the least disruptive fix. Where it is crushed, Orangeburg or badly out of round, pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE line through the same route.
Still unsure which way your line will go? Call (833) 529-2616 with the age of the house and what the drains are doing. You will hear what a camera inspection is likely to show before anyone comes out.

Call (833) 529-2616How much does trenchless sewer line repair in Frankton, IN cost?
Most lines cost an estimated $4,000 to $15,000 to line or burst, or about $80 to $250 per foot. A spot repair is estimated at $1,500 to $4,000, and the camera inspection at $150 to $500. Where a line is deep below a basement or frozen ground, access costs more, and that is on the written quote.
What are the disadvantages of trenchless pipe lining?
A liner follows the old pipe, so it cannot fix a collapsed section or a belly that holds water, and it narrows the bore slightly. Those cases call for bursting or a short dig.
How long does trenchless pipe lining last?
A cured-in-place liner is designed for roughly 50 years of service, and a burst-in HDPE line for 50 to 100.
What are the signs of a broken sewer line?
Watch for several slow drains together, gurgling toilets, backups in floor drains, sewer smell in the yard, wet or greener strips of lawn, and repeat clogs.
