Sewer Lines Under Somerset Homes
Many Somerset homes are older houses with basements, and their sewer laterals are clay tile laid in short sections, which gives roots a joint every few feet.
What we run into in Somerset
- Aging pipe. Cast iron scales and corrodes from the inside, clay cracks at the joints, and Orangeburg slowly flattens. All three turn up on camera here.
- 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 Somerset
These are the failures behind most calls for trenchless sewer line repair in Somerset, PA. A camera pass usually shows which one you have.
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
Cracks, holes and joints that have slipped out of line leak and snag waste. Lining covers them with new pipe.
Corroded or collapsing pipe
Old pipe that is scaling, flaking or losing its round shape is relined if it still holds its form, or replaced by bursting.
Water standing in the line
A camera that shows water pooling in one stretch has found a belly, which affects which method can be used.
Several drains slow at once
One slow sink is a local clog. Tubs, toilets and sinks slowing together point to the main line.
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.
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 Somerset
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.

Somerset Homes by the Numbers

Homes from 1950 to 1979 make up about 48% of the stock, an era with mixed lateral materials, and the median year built across Somerset is 1962. With roughly 57% single-family homes and 54% owner-occupied, most Somerset sewer laterals belong to the property owner, who decides whether to line, burst or patch.
