Sewer Lines Under Smithton Homes
In older Smithton neighborhoods, the original clay or cast iron line is often 60 years old or more.
What we run into in Smithton
- 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 Smithton
When people phone about trenchless sewer line repair in Smithton, PA, the line nearly always has one of these faults. Each has its own best method.
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.
A dip in the yard or drive
Soil washing into a broken pipe can leave a depression or a small sinkhole above it.
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.
Several drains slow at once
One slow sink is a local clog. Tubs, toilets and sinks slowing together point to the main line.
Can't tell which one you have? Describe what the drains are doing, and the likely cause comes back on the call.
Line It or Burst It? Deciding in Smithton
Lining suits a pipe that still holds its shape: cracks, root entry, corrosion and small offsets. Bursting suits a pipe that is collapsed, flattened or too small, because it replaces the line rather than coating it.
Still unsure which way your line will go? Call (833) 529-2616 with the age of the house and what the drains are doing. You will hear what a camera inspection is likely to show before anyone comes out.
