Sewer Lines Under Shippensburg Homes
Older Shippensburg 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 Shippensburg
- Tree roots. Yard and street trees around Shippensburg have had decades to find the sewer line. Recurring backups after every snaking usually mean roots.

Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Shippensburg, PA usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
Root intrusion at the joints
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
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.

Shippensburg Homes by the Numbers
About 52% of homes in Shippensburg 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 34% 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 1949. About 53% of homes are single-family and 47% are owner-occupied; the lateral from the building to the city connection is generally the owner's responsibility, so the repair-or-replace decision is usually theirs.
With about 5,811 residents on roughly 2.0 square miles (near 2,863 per square mile), Shippensburg is suburban in density, with a mix of detached homes and townhomes. Among the 688 Pennsylvania places we cover, it ranks number 120 by population.
