Sewer Line Services
Camera inspections, hydro-jetting, and trenchless repair for Philly's older sewer laterals.
Recurring backups in multiple drains, gurgling toilets, or sewage odor in the yard point to a problem in the main sewer lateral — the line that carries everything from your home to the city main. We run a camera the full length of the lateral, locate the exact depth and position of the fault, and show you what we see. Root intrusion and grease we clear with hydro-jetting; cracked, offset, or collapsed sections we repair, and where the run allows we use trenchless pipe-lining or pipe-bursting so we don't have to dig up your entire yard or sidewalk. Many of Philadelphia's rowhome laterals are original clay or Orangeburg pipe near the end of their life — a camera inspection tells you exactly where you stand before an emergency forces the decision.
What our customers say
"Water heater died on a Sunday night and Acme had a plumber at our Fishtown place within the hour. Quoted the price up front, replaced it same night, and cleaned everything up. Lifesavers."
"We'd had three plumbers snake the same kitchen drain over two years. Acme ran a camera, found roots in the lateral, hydro-jetted it, and it hasn't backed up since. Finally someone who found the actual problem."
"Honest and fast. They found a slab leak with their thermal camera instead of tearing up the whole floor, fixed it in an afternoon, and the bill matched the estimate to the dollar."
