Septic & Sewer Line Repairs
Think of us as Central Pa's one-stop-shop for anything septic or sewer related. Our repair services include the following:
- Septic sewer line repair and replacement
- Septic tank replacement
- Sewer trap repair and replacement
- Grease trap repair and replacement
- Sand mound lateral repairs
- Manhole extension installation
If we diagnose the cause of your backup is roots in your sewer line, instead of hiring a subcontractor to dig out your sewer line and make the repairs, we'll use our own equipment to do the job for you - same day if possible! This means when your septic tank goes bad you can call us to replace it for you - the same company you've had servicing your system for four generations. And this means our grease customers can rely on us to handle repairs and trap replacements when necessary - saving you time and money as a restaurant owner.
Sewer Line Diagnostics, Repairs & Replacement
In addition to our 60+ years of experience, we have a variety of diagnostic tools to figure out what's causing your backup. We can snake a cable down the pipe(s) with a specialized camera on the end and receive video feedback that shows us exactly what’s happening after you flush, use the sink etc. Our video cable can extend meters beneath the ground to show us if there’s a problem in the pipes directly under your kitchen or bathroom, or further down the water line. We use camera technology for both residential and commercial jobs. We can perform a video pipe inspection to determine what's causing a backup at your restaurant or business.
Once we know the root of your issue (and sometimes the issue really is ROOTS), we'll create a plan to get things flowing freely again asap. Sometimes we'll suggest jetting the line before doing anything else, to see if our high pressure water jet can clear things up. If that does not resolve the issue we can camera the line again to see if there are roots, cracks or other damaged areas to tackle. If that's the case, our repair team can get your job scheduled and repair or replace the pipes as needed. We offer both residential and commercial repairs so whether your issue is large or small, we can help. We won't give you the run around, just high quality service.

Common Sewer Line Issues
Blockages or Backups Caused by Aging Sewer Lines
If your home is older and your plumbing is original, you have a much greater chance of a septic or sewer backup. Over time, various factors such as corrosion, wear and tear, and the natural aging process can compromise the structural integrity of pipes.
Blockages Caused By Roots in the Line
Whether your home is on septic or public sewer, roots in the line can lead to major issues. This can happen if you have trees or shrubs planted near your septic system or sewer lines, or if you have large mature trees that have sprawling root systems.
Backups Due to Damaged Sewer Lines
Old or new plumbing, every sewer line is susceptible to damage that could be the result of digging, landscaping, new construction, installing utility lines, improper septic maintenance, or parking cars or vehicles above the lines.
