Very impressed with the work they did. Our main sewer line broke and settled right outside the foundation. This was a major problem as the line was under an outdoor kitchen, bathroom and concrete pad. 3 contractors said only way to fix it was to tear everything out and put a big trench through the concrete. These "Guys" were able to burst the old pipe and pull a new pipe through to get everything fixed in a day. Incredible. The other contractors were amazed that this was even an option. Could barely tell anything was done at the end.

Expert Clay Tile Sewer Lines in Wooster, OH
Clay tile sewer lines are common in Wooster homes built before the 1970s. These older lines were installed in sections with jointed connections, and those joints are where problems start. Wayne County's glacial clay soil expands when wet and contracts when dry. That repeated ground movement cracks and offsets clay pipe joints over time. Mature trees in Wooster's established neighborhoods make things worse. Tree roots are drawn to moisture inside sewer pipes and push through any open joint or crack. Once roots are inside, debris collects and backups follow. At The Trenchless Guys, we start every clay tile job with a camera inspection. We map the damage, identify root intrusion, offset joints, bellied sections, and cracks before recommending a repair path. Depending on what we find, we use pipe lining or pipe bursting to fix the line with minimal digging. Your lawn, driveway, and landscaping stay intact. Call us to schedule a camera inspection of your Wooster clay tile sewer line.

FAQ
Clay Tile Sewer Lines FAQ
Common questions about clay tile sewer lines in Wooster, OH.
A camera inspection of your sewer line will confirm the pipe material. Most Wooster homes built before the 1970s were plumbed with clay tile sewer laterals.
Slow drains throughout the house, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard, and unusually green patches of grass are common signs. These symptoms often point to root intrusion, cracked joints, or a bellied section in the clay line.
Yes, most clay tile sewer problems in Wooster can be fixed using trenchless pipe lining or pipe bursting. Both methods require little to no open trenching through your lawn or driveway.
Wayne County's glacial clay soil shifts with every freeze-thaw cycle, putting repeated stress on rigid clay pipe joints. Wooster's mature tree canopy adds root pressure that targets those same weakened joints.
Yes, a camera inspection is the first step for every clay tile sewer job. It shows us exactly where the damage is and which repair method fits your specific line.
Pipe lining seals joints and creates a smooth interior surface that roots cannot penetrate. This significantly reduces the chance of repeat root intrusion compared to leaving the original clay pipe in place.
