Sewer Lines Under Mckeesport Homes
Mature street trees line many Mckeesport neighborhoods, and their roots have had decades to grow into old sewer joints.
What we run into in Mckeesport
- Aging pipe. Plenty of laterals around Mckeesport are older than the people living above them. Age alone is often what finally opens the joints.
- Basement exits. With a basement, the main cleanout is often indoors, and it can serve as the access point for a liner. The yard stays mostly untouched.
- Deep frost. Freeze-thaw cycles move the soil around older pipe and open joints. Trenchless repair can go ahead without a long frozen trench.

Below are the faults behind most jobs for trenchless sewer line repair in Mckeesport, PA, from root mats to flattened fiber pipe.
Roots in the line
Cutting roots clears the pipe for a while; a liner removes the joints they get through, so they stay out.
Breaks and shifted joints
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.
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.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Mckeesport
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.

What are the disadvantages of trenchless pipe lining?
