Sewer Line Repair Near Me in Delaware County

When you search for sewer line repair near you in Delaware County, the result should be a contractor who knows the county’s pipe stock, soil conditions, and municipal sewer authority responsibilities — not a regional franchise that treats every job the same. Delaware County’s housing stock was built predominantly between 1920 and 1975, and almost all of it has clay tile sewer laterals. Clay tile laterals with deteriorating mortar joints are a different repair problem than the plastic or concrete pipe installed in newer developments, and they require a different set of solutions.

We perform camera inspections, sewer line cleaning, CIPP lining, pipe bursting, and full lateral replacement throughout Delaware County: Springfield, Havertown, Upper Darby, Drexel Hill, Media, Swarthmore, Newtown Square, Ridley Park, Aston, Boothwyn, Marcus Hook, Norwood, Glenolden, Lansdowne, Folsom, Sharon Hill, Collingdale, Darby, Chester, and every municipality in between.

Drain Cleaning Near Me in Delaware County

A drain cleanout is the access point on your sewer lateral that allows a camera or cleaning cable to enter the underground pipe without going through a drain fixture. Most Delaware County homes built before 1980 have a cleanout fitting near the foundation, usually in the basement utility area or just outside the foundation wall. When you call us for drain cleaning near you in Delaware County, we locate the cleanout first. We run a camera through it before we cable or jet so we know exactly what we are clearing.

We clear drain blockages for residential and light commercial properties throughout Delco. A backup affecting multiple fixtures simultaneously is almost always a blocked main lateral, not a problem on a single branch line, and the cleanout is the right access point for that work.

Emergency Sewer and Drain Service Near Me

We provide 24-hour emergency drain service across Delaware County. Sewer backups do not wait for business hours — a floor drain backup at midnight gets the same response as a daytime call. Common emergency calls we respond to in Delaware County:

• Main sewer line backup — sewage or black water rising from a basement floor drain or first-floor toilet when another fixture runs. This is a main lateral blockage.
• Root-blocked lateral — sudden backup in a home with mature trees and clay tile pipe. The roots finally sealed the pipe.
• Collapsed pipe — a lateral that has sagged or collapsed in settled soil, blocking flow. This does not clear with a cable.
• Floor drain backup during rain — a blockage between your cleanout and the public main, or an offset section allowing groundwater infiltration.

How Township vs. Borough Sewer Responsibility Works

Delaware County has a mix of townships and boroughs, each with its own sewer authority or agreement with DELCORA (the Delaware County Regional Water Quality Control Authority). As a homeowner, you own the lateral from your foundation to the connection point at the public main in the street. The municipal authority owns the main. When the cause of a backup is ambiguous — for example, a surcharging main during heavy rain — we document it in writing so you have something to present to your township or borough if the problem is on their side of the connection.

Trenchless equipment is easy to buy. A trailer and a liner kit do not make someone a sewer contractor. If you have been told the whole line has to be replaced, or handed a price that does not add up, bring us the written estimate and the video. The site visit is free. We will tell you plainly what we see, including when the answer is that you do not need the work.

Underground Is All We Do

• Craig Devakow has done trenchless sewer work since 2014, five years before he founded this company. Well over 2,000 sewer lines in that time.
• More than 12,000 service visits on record since 2020.
• Owned and run by a licensed master plumber. Pennsylvania HIC #PA151129.
• We own our lining and pipe bursting equipment, and we line pipe from 2 inches to 6 inches.
• You get a camera video of the finished line, yours to keep.
• Everything in writing. We beat any written estimate.

What to Ask Any Trenchless Contractor

1. How long have you done trenchless work, and is it your main trade?
2. Is a licensed master plumber on the job?
3. Do you own the equipment, and what pipe sizes can you line?
4. Will I get video before and after?
5. Who makes the liner, and what does the written warranty say?

Frequently Asked Questions

What sewer pipe material is in my Delaware County home?

Homes built before 1960 almost certainly have clay tile laterals. Homes built between 1960 and 1985 typically have a mix of clay tile to the street and cast iron or early PVC inside the house. Homes built after 1985 generally have PVC or ABS plastic. The camera tells us exactly what material is in the ground and what condition it is in — which is why we run a camera first on every sewer job.

How do I find a sewer line repair company near me in Delaware County?

You need a company that is physically based in Delaware County, knows the local pipe stock and municipal authorities, and runs a camera before recommending repairs. Advanced Drains and Underground Solutions is headquartered in Delaware County and has been performing sewer laterals work here for years. Call 1-855-DONT-DIG to schedule service anywhere in Delco.

Does sewer line replacement damage my yard?

Trenchless methods — CIPP lining and pipe bursting — replace or rehabilitate a lateral without a full-length trench. The yard disturbance is limited to access points at each end of the pipe run. Whether trenchless is the right method depends on pipe condition; the camera determines that. A pipe that has collapsed and is missing sections requires excavation at those locations regardless of method.
