Sewer Line Services in Pittsburgh
Professional sewer line services services for Pittsburgh and surrounding communities.
Pittsburgh's sewer infrastructure includes some of the oldest pipe in the region. Many city homes still connect to the main sewer via original clay laterals that are 80–100 years old. Astrada Services specializes in sewer line inspection, repair, and replacement throughout Pittsburgh — including trenchless methods that don't destroy your yard.
Pittsburgh is in the middle of a multi-decade sewer system overhaul under ALCOSAN. If your lateral is failing, some Pittsburgh neighborhoods qualify for financial assistance programs to help cover repair costs.
Our Sewer Line Services Process
We run a sewer camera inspection to assess the condition of your line
Our technician identifies the problem — roots, cracks, bellies, or collapses
We recommend the best repair method: spot repair, trenchless lining, or replacement
The repair is completed and we verify flow with a final camera inspection
Common Sewer Line Services Problems in Pittsburgh
- Tree roots growing into sewer pipe joints
- Cracked or collapsed clay sewer pipes (common in older Pittsburgh homes)
- Sewer line bellies where the pipe has sagged and collects waste
- Grease buildup causing recurring main line clogs
- Offset pipe joints from ground settling or poor installation
Sewer camera inspections start at $250. Trenchless repairs typically run $3,000–$8,000 depending on length and depth. Full replacements are quoted on-site.

What Our Customers Say
"Had a sewer backup that two other companies couldn't fix. Astrada found a collapsed section with their camera and did a trenchless repair — barely touched the yard. Professional from start to finish."
Frequently Asked Questions
Warning signs include multiple drains backing up at once, gurgling sounds from toilets, sewage odors in the basement or yard, patches of unusually green grass over the sewer line, and sinkholes or depressions in your yard. A sewer camera inspection confirms the diagnosis.
Trenchless repair fixes your sewer line without digging up your entire yard. Methods include pipe lining (inserting a resin-coated liner that hardens in place) and pipe bursting (pulling a new pipe through the old one). It's faster, less disruptive, and often more cost-effective than traditional excavation.
We strongly recommend it, especially for homes built before 1970 that likely have clay sewer pipes. A sewer camera inspection costs a few hundred dollars but can save you from a $10,000+ surprise sewer replacement after closing. Many Pittsburgh home buyers skip this and regret it.
