Sewer pipe line repair in Iowa
What tends to fail under Iowa homes, how lining and pipe bursting fix it without a trench, and how to reach a qualified contractor.
Iowa's rich, heavy soils hold water, and its winters drive frost deep enough to shift a jointed lateral season after season. Older clay tile lines in the state's small cities and farm towns are prime candidates for lining, which replaces dozens of leaking joints with one continuous pipe.
What fails under Iowa homes
Midwestern cities have some of the oldest sewer laterals in the country: clay tile and cast iron dating to the early 1900s in the older neighborhoods, Orangeburg in postwar suburbs, and basements with floor drains that back up first when the lateral fails.
Frost depth, freeze-thaw movement, heavy clay soils, and large hardwood trees along the parkway all attack the joints. Many homes also have combined sewers or footing drains tied to the sanitary line, so a failing lateral shows up as a basement backup after rain.
Lining seals the joints roots use, bursting replaces collapsed or deformed pipe, and both avoid trenching a frozen or saturated yard and the sidewalk and street the lateral usually crosses.
