What we run into in Railroad

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Railroad
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Railroad, PA 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.
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.
Several drains slow at once
One slow sink is a local clog. Tubs, toilets and sinks slowing together point to the main line.
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.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Railroad
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.

Railroad Homes by the Numbers
About 79% of homes in Railroad were built before 1950, when sewer laterals were commonly clay tile or cast iron, materials that crack, separate at the joints and let roots in as they age. Another 11% were built between 1950 and 1979, a stretch when cast iron, clay and fiber (Orangeburg) laterals were all still in use, and the median home overall dates from 1938. With roughly 46% single-family homes and 39% owner-occupied, most Railroad sewer laterals belong to the property owner, who decides whether to line, burst or patch.
With about 286 residents on roughly 0.6 square miles (near 447 per square mile), Railroad is rural to small-town in density, with large lots and long runs. Among the 688 Pennsylvania places we cover, it ranks number 592 by population.
