Sewer Lines Under Lake in the Hills Homes
Lake in the Hills winters push frost deep into the ground, which makes digging a sewer trench slow, costly work. Trenchless repair needs only small access points.
What we run into in Lake in the Hills
- Deep frost. Winter frost reaches well into the ground, which makes winter excavation slow. Lining and bursting need only small access points.
- 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.
- 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.

Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Lake in the Hills, IL usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
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.
Soggy or extra-green strip
A wet patch or a stripe of greener grass along the line's path is often a leak feeding the lawn.
A dip in the yard or drive
Soil washing into a broken pipe can leave a depression or a small sinkhole above it.
Water standing in the line
A camera that shows water pooling in one stretch has found a belly, which affects which method can be used.
