When main sewer lines crack, sag, or fill with tree roots, wastewater has nowhere to go but back up into your sinks, tubs, and basement floor drains. Aging cast iron and terra cotta sewer lateral lines frequently fail after decades of ground shifting, corrosion, and root intrusion.
We combine high-definition video pipe camera inspections with targeted repair strategies to clear blockages, restore proper drainage slope, and repair damaged pipes with minimal intrusion to your lawn or driveway.
Before digging or cutting into any pipe, we feed a high-definition video camera into your sewer lateral. This reveals the exact location, depth, and cause of your backup—whether it is root intrusion, pipe offset, or heavy buildup—allowing us to diagnose the problem accurately.
To prepare the pipe for repair or clear severe blockages, high-pressure water streams cut through stubborn grease, scale build-up, and invasive tree roots. This scours the pipe walls clean without compromising structural integrity.
Once the issue is pinpointed, we perform targeted spot repairs or full sewer lateral replacements using modern, corrosion-resistant piping. We restore proper pitch and wastewater flow while minimizing disruption to your lawn, driveway, or landscaping.
Sewer line issues in Northeast Philly require specialized local knowledge. From original cast iron laterals in older single-family homes to specific city main tie-ins along Woodhaven Road, Academy Road, and Knights Road, repeated backups are often caused by invasive tree roots, belly sags, or deteriorating curb traps.
