Sewer Lines Under Hickory Homes
Mature street trees line many Hickory neighborhoods, and their roots have had decades to grow into old sewer joints.
What we run into in Hickory
- Aging pipe. Plenty of laterals around Hickory are older than the people living above them. Age alone is often what finally opens the joints.
- 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 Hickory
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Hickory, PA usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
Root intrusion at the joints
Cutting roots clears the pipe for a while; a liner removes the joints they get through, so they stay out.
Breaks and shifted joints
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.
Several drains slow at once
One slow sink is a local clog. Tubs, toilets and sinks slowing together point to the main line.
Toilets gurgle or bubble
Air pushed back through the trap when other fixtures drain means the line is partly blocked downstream.
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.
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 Hickory
The camera settles it. Sound but leaking pipe gets lined; broken-down pipe gets burst; a single bad spot gets a patch liner. A sag that holds water is the one case where a short dig may be needed.
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.
