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.
