Sewer Lines Under River Grove Homes
Big shade trees are part of most River Grove streets, and their roots follow any leak in an old sewer joint.
What we run into in River Grove
- 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 River Grove
Below are the faults behind most jobs for trenchless sewer line repair in River Grove, IL, from root mats to flattened fiber pipe.
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
Cracks, holes and joints that have slipped out of line leak and snag waste. Lining covers them with new pipe.
Corroded or collapsing pipe
Cast iron scales and rots from inside, and Orangeburg flattens. Cast iron is often lined; Orangeburg is usually burst.
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 River Grove
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.
