Sewer Lines Under Palos Heights Homes
Palos Heights 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 Palos Heights
- Deep frost. Winter frost reaches well into the ground, which makes winter excavation slow. Lining and bursting need only small access points.
- 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.
- Tree roots. Roots are the most common thing the camera finds here. Cutting them buys time; lining the pipe takes away the joints they get in through.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Palos Heights
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Palos Heights, IL 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.
Sewer smell outside
A smell near the cleanout or over the yard can mean a cracked pipe venting gas into the soil.
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.
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.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Palos Heights
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.
