Sewer Lines Under Pittsville Homes
Older Pittsville homes were built before plastic sewer pipe, and their original laterals are reaching the age where cracks and root entry are routine.
What we run into in Pittsville
- Tree roots. Mature trees send roots toward the warm, damp air leaking from a cracked joint. Once inside, they grow into a mat that catches everything.
- Aging pipe. Older homes here were built with clay, cast iron or, in some decades, Orangeburg fiber pipe. Each fails in its own way, and the camera shows which one you have.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Pittsville
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Pittsville, MD usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
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.
Clogs that keep coming back
If the line needs snaking every few months, something in the pipe, usually roots or a break, is catching waste.
Sewer smell outside
A smell near the cleanout or over the yard can mean a cracked pipe venting gas into the soil.
A dip in the yard or drive
Soil washing into a broken pipe can leave a depression or a small sinkhole above it.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Pittsville
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.
