Sewer Lines Under Great Falls Homes
Great Falls sits on dense red clay that holds water and shifts with the seasons, and older sewer joints crack and separate as it moves.
What we run into in Great Falls
- Shifting clay soil. When clay soil heaves and settles around a line year after year, rigid old pipe cracks and newer pipe can lose its slope.
- Tree roots. Mature trees send roots toward the warm, damp air leaking from a cracked joint. Once inside, they grow into a mat that catches everything.

Below are the faults behind most jobs for trenchless sewer line repair in Great Falls, SC, 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 Great Falls
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.
