Sewer Lines Under Slatedale Homes
In Slatedale, mature oaks, maples and tulip poplars shade many yards, and their roots work into sewer joints that have started to leak.
What we run into in Slatedale
- 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.
- Aging pipe. In older Slatedale neighborhoods, sewer laterals are often the original clay or cast iron, laid in short sections with a joint every few feet.

Call (833) 529-2616Sewer Line Failures We See Around Slatedale
Calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Slatedale, 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.
Toilets gurgle or bubble
Air pushed back through the trap when other fixtures drain means the line is partly blocked downstream.
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.
Sewer smell outside
A smell near the cleanout or over the yard can mean a cracked pipe venting gas into the soil.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Slatedale
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.

A cured-in-place liner is designed for roughly 50 years of service, and a burst-in HDPE line for 50 to 100.
