Sewer Lines Under South Heights Homes
Mature street trees line many South Heights neighborhoods, and their roots have had decades to grow into old sewer joints.
What we run into in South Heights
- 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. Basement floor drains are usually the first place a failing sewer line shows itself, because they are the lowest opening in the house.
- 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 South Heights
Below are the faults behind most jobs for trenchless sewer line repair in South Heights, PA, from root mats to flattened fiber pipe.
Roots in the line
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
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 Heights
If the old pipe is intact enough for a liner to follow, lining is usually the least disruptive fix. Where it is crushed, Orangeburg or badly out of round, pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE line through the same route.
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.

South Heights Homes by the Numbers
About 60% of homes in South Heights were built before 1950, when sewer laterals were commonly clay tile or cast iron, materials that crack, separate at the joints and let roots in as they age. Another 31% were built between 1950 and 1979, a stretch when cast iron, clay and fiber (Orangeburg) laterals were all still in use, and the median home overall dates from 1946. With roughly 88% single-family homes and 75% owner-occupied, most South Heights sewer laterals belong to the property owner, who decides whether to line, burst or patch.
