We show you what the camera found and explain your options, from spot repair to trenchless rehabilitation to full replacement, with the trade-offs of each.
Targeted repair execution
We repair or replace the damaged section using the agreed method, keeping excavation as limited as the chosen approach allows.
Verification and flow testing
We run the camera through the repaired section again and test drainage from multiple fixtures to confirm full, unobstructed flow.

We explain what to expect as disturbed areas settle and give guidance on protecting the repaired line going forward.
FAQ
Orangeburg Pipe Replacement questions
What is Orangeburg pipe?
Orangeburg is a bituminized fiber pipe made from wood pulp and tar, widely installed from the 1940s through the 1970s. It was common and easy to install, but it deforms under pressure and deteriorates over decades underground.
How do I know if I have Orangeburg pipe?
A camera inspection identifies it definitively by its appearance and failure patterns. Homes built in the mid-20th century with original sewer lines are the most likely candidates.
Can Orangeburg pipe be repaired instead of replaced?
Spot repairs on Orangeburg are unreliable because the material continues to deform and fail around any repair. Full replacement with modern pipe is the standard recommendation once Orangeburg is confirmed.
