Sewer Line Services
Sewer line inspection, repair, and replacement for residential and commercial properties.
Your sewer line carries all wastewater from your home to the municipal sewer system. When it fails, the results can be catastrophic — from sewage backups in your basement to sinkholes in your yard. Astrada Services provides comprehensive sewer line services including video camera inspection, trenchless repair, pipe lining, and full sewer line replacement. Pittsburgh's aging infrastructure and clay pipes make sewer problems especially common, and we've seen it all.
Our Sewer Line Services Process
We run a sewer camera inspection to assess the condition of your line
Our technician identifies the problem — roots, cracks, bellies, or collapses
We recommend the best repair method: spot repair, trenchless lining, or replacement
The repair is completed and we verify flow with a final camera inspection
Common Sewer Line Services Problems We Fix
- Tree roots growing into sewer pipe joints
- Cracked or collapsed clay sewer pipes (common in older Pittsburgh homes)
- Sewer line bellies where the pipe has sagged and collects waste
- Grease buildup causing recurring main line clogs
- Offset pipe joints from ground settling or poor installation
Sewer camera inspections start at $250. Trenchless repairs typically run $3,000–$8,000 depending on length and depth. Full replacements are quoted on-site.
What Our Customers Say
"Had a sewer backup that two other companies couldn't fix. Astrada found a collapsed section with their camera and did a trenchless repair — barely touched the yard. Professional from start to finish."
Frequently Asked Questions
Warning signs include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in the basement or yard, patches of unusually green grass over the sewer line, and sinkholes or depressions in your yard. A sewer camera inspection confirms the diagnosis.
Trenchless repair fixes your sewer line without digging up your entire yard. Methods include pipe lining (inserting a resin-coated liner that hardens in place) and pipe bursting (pulling a new pipe through the old one). It's faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective than traditional excavation.
We strongly recommend it, especially for homes built before 1970 that likely have clay sewer pipes. A sewer camera inspection costs a few hundred dollars but can save you from a $10,000+ surprise sewer replacement after closing. Many Pittsburgh home buyers skip this and regret it.
