Sewer Line Services
Sewer line inspection, repair, and replacement for residential and commercial properties.
Recurring backups or suspected damage to a sewer line require an assessment of the pipe and site conditions. Share any existing inspection report, repair history and access information with Astrada. The proposed repair method depends on the condition and location of the pipe, access constraints and the requirements for the property. Confirm the method and scope before scheduling the work.

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
Describe the backup or drainage problem and share any existing camera report. The repair approach and estimate depend on the pipe condition, access and site constraints.
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.
