These are the failures behind most calls for trenchless sewer line repair in South Boston, VA. A camera pass usually shows which one you have.
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.
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.

Line It or Burst It? Deciding in South Boston
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.

About 73% of homes are single-family and 50% 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.
