Sewer Line Services in South Hills
Professional sewer line services services for South Hills and surrounding communities.
South Hills communities like Mt. Lebanon, Dormont, and Castle Shannon have some of the highest rates of sewer lateral problems in the Pittsburgh metro area. Aging clay pipes, tree root intrusion, and ground settling are the usual culprits. Astrada Services provides sewer camera inspection, trenchless repair, and full sewer line replacement across the South Hills.
Mt. Lebanon and several other South Hills municipalities have sewer lateral inspection requirements when homes are sold. If you're buying or selling, call us for a pre-sale sewer camera inspection.
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 South Hills
- 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.
