Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Mechanicsburg
These are the failures behind most calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Mechanicsburg, PA. 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.
Toilets gurgle or bubble
Air pushed back through the trap when other fixtures drain means the line is partly blocked downstream.
Backup in the lowest drain
Sewage rising in a floor drain, shower or basement fixture is the line telling you it cannot carry the flow.
Sewer smell outside
A smell near the cleanout or over the yard can mean a cracked pipe venting gas into the soil.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Mechanicsburg
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.
