Signs of a Sewer Line Problem
When the main sewer line has trouble, several drains act up at once.
- Water or sewage backs up in the basement floor drain
- Toilets gurgle when the washer drains
- Several drains are slow at the same time
- Sewer smell in the basement or yard
- A soggy patch of lawn over the line
Why Older York Sewer Lines Fail
Many older homes in York and the nearby boroughs still have their original sewer laterals. Clay pipe has joints that roots can push into. Cast iron rusts and scales from the inside over decades. Ground movement from freeze and thaw cycles can shift sections out of line.
The homeowner is usually responsible for the lateral from the house to the public main, so it pays to know its condition.

Call (717) 402-9746How Camera Inspection Works
A plumber runs a waterproof camera through the line from a cleanout or drain. You see the inside of the pipe on a screen, so there is no guessing.
- Locate roots, cracks, sags or collapsed sections.
- Measure the depth and distance to the problem.
- Record the video so you can see what they found.
- Recommend cleaning, spot repair or replacement.
Repair Options
| Option | Best for | | Cleaning or jetting | Grease, buildup and light roots | | Spot repair | One broken section | | Pipe lining | Cracked pipe that is still in shape | | Replacement | Collapsed or badly damaged line |
Ask the plumber to explain why they recommend one option over another for your home.
