Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Nichols
These are the failures behind most calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Nichols, SC. 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
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.
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.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Nichols
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.
