Sewer pipe line repair in North Carolina

North Carolina's red clay in the Piedmont and sandy soils toward the coast each stress a jointed lateral in their own way, and the state's rapid growth has put many older lines under new driveways and landscaping. Trenchless lining and bursting repair the pipe without undoing that work.

What fails under North Carolina homes

Southeastern homes built through the 1970s commonly have cast iron drain lines under slab foundations and clay or Orangeburg laterals to the street. Cast iron in this region corrodes quickly; it is not unusual for a camera to find the bottom of the pipe completely gone under a slab.

High water tables, sandy or heavy-clay soils depending on the area, hurricane and storm saturation, and year-round root growth from live oaks and other fast-growing trees all shorten the life of a jointed lateral. Open trenches fill with groundwater on many lots.

Trenchless work sidesteps the water table and the slab. Lining rebuilds corroded cast iron in place; bursting replaces a collapsed run with jointless HDPE that roots cannot enter.
