What we run into in Shippingport
- 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.
- Basement exits. With a basement, the main cleanout is often indoors, and it can serve as the access point for a liner. The yard stays mostly untouched.
- Deep frost. Winter frost reaches well into the ground, which makes winter excavation slow. Lining and bursting need only small access points.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Shippingport
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Shippingport, PA usually begin with one of the problems below, and the camera decides which fix fits.
Root intrusion at the joints
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
Old pipe that is scaling, flaking or losing its round shape is relined if it still holds its form, or replaced by bursting.
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.
