Sewer lines across Pennsylvania
Row houses, triple-deckers and prewar suburbs across the Northeast run on clay, cast iron and, in places, the original brick and stone drains. The laterals are deep because frost is deep, and they usually pass under a sidewalk, a city tree and a street that has been repaved a dozen times.
Frost heave, ledge and glacial till that was never properly bedded, and a century of root growth from street trees are the usual story. Many older cities still have combined sewers, so storm surcharges push water back up the lateral into the basement.
Lining works especially well here because the alternative means opening a city sidewalk and street. A clay line with cracked joints and roots is lined from the basement cleanout to the main. A collapsed section is burst and replaced through a pit at the foundation and a second one at the curb.
Pick a city above for the local picture, or read why replacement without a trench is usually the cheaper job once the driveway, the sidewalk and the street permit are counted.
