How we do it

Our method, step by step

  1. Accurate depth and path mapping from the house to the municipal main
  2. Excavation with careful spoil handling to protect the surrounding property
  3. Heavy-duty SDR-35 or Schedule 40 PVC sewer pipe
  4. Proper aggregate bedding and a calculated slope for smooth gravity flow

What you get

Why it's worth doing right

  • An end to recurring backups and sewer odors
  • No more paying for repeat snaking and cable unclogs
  • Work to Pittsburgh municipal sewer code and inspection standards
  • Properly compacted backfill so the ground doesn't settle later

Pittsburgh local considerations

Built for Pittsburgh ground

Many Pittsburgh neighborhoods were built with terra-cotta clay sewer lines that are now 70 to 100+ years old. We uncover and replace failing clay laterals with modern, root-proof PVC.

Pricing: every sewer lines job is quoted for free, after we see the site. Call for pricing.

Questions

Sewer Lines FAQ

How do I know if my sewer line needs to be dug up and replaced?

Persistent backups, sewer smells, sinkholes along the lateral path, and a collapse seen on camera generally call for a targeted or complete excavation replacement.

Do you coordinate with Pittsburgh sewer authorities?

We work within local code and inspection guidelines for tap-ins and right-of-way repairs.

What pipe do you install?

Heavy-duty SDR-35 or Schedule 40 PVC, bedded in aggregate and laid at a calculated slope.
