Sewer pipe line repair in Ohio

Ohio's older cities run on clay tile laterals and combined sewers laid in heavy clay soils, and freeze-thaw plus root intrusion is the standard camera finding. Lining seals the joints, stops infiltration and leaves the tree lawn and sidewalk in place.

What fails under Ohio 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.
