Sewer Lines Under Galena Homes
In Galena, mature oaks, maples and tulip poplars shade many yards, and their roots work into sewer joints that have started to leak.
What we run into in Galena
- Tree roots. Roots are the most common thing the camera finds here. Cutting them buys time; lining the pipe takes away the joints they get in through.
- Aging pipe. Older homes here were built with clay, cast iron or, in some decades, Orangeburg fiber pipe. Each fails in its own way, and the camera shows which one you have.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Galena
These are the failures behind most calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Galena, 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
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.
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.
Can't tell which one you have? Describe what the drains are doing, and the likely cause comes back on the call.
Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Galena
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.
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.
