Sewer Lines Under Pickens Homes
In Pickens, pines, oaks and sweetgums grow close to homes, and their roots push into any sewer joint that leaks.
What we run into in Pickens
- Shifting clay soil. Expansive clay swells when it is wet and shrinks in drought. That movement cracks pipe and pulls sewer joints out of line.
- 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 Pickens
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Pickens, SC 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
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.
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.
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.
Toilets gurgle or bubble
Air pushed back through the trap when other fixtures drain means the line is partly blocked downstream.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Pickens
If the old pipe is intact enough for a liner to follow, lining is usually the least disruptive fix. Where it is crushed, Orangeburg or badly out of round, pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE line through the same route.
If you already have camera footage from a previous plumber or a home inspection, mention it when you call (833) 529-2616. It often settles lining versus bursting on the phone.
