Trenchless Sewer Repair in New Franklin, OH 44319
No-dig sewer repair for New Franklin homes and businesses. We line, burst and replace failing laterals without trenching the lawn or the driveway.
We are trenchless specialists working throughout New Franklin, OH 44319 and across Summit County. That means repairing your sewer line from the inside — through a cleanout or a single small opening — rather than digging up everything that sits above it.
The pipe under most New Franklin homes
At a median build year of 1963, New Franklin is in the awkward middle of Ohio's sewer history. Post-war construction used whatever was available and economical, so two houses on the same street can have completely different lateral materials.
If it is cast iron, the symptom is gradual: backups that become more frequent over years, often with rust-coloured water at the floor drain, as internal scale narrows the pipe. If it is Orangeburg, the failure is sudden and usually terminal — the pipe goes oval and collapses.
Both are repairable without excavation, but by different methods. Scaled cast iron is descaled and then lined. Collapsed Orangeburg needs bursting, because there is no sound host pipe left to line.
Signs your New Franklin sewer line needs attention
Sewer laterals give plenty of warning before they fail completely. These are the signs worth acting on in a New Franklin property:
- Repeat backups in the same fixture — especially a basement floor drain, which is usually the lowest point in an Ohio home and the first place a restricted line surfaces
- Slow drains across several fixtures at once, rather than one blocked sink
- Gurgling toilets, or water rising in a shower when a toilet is flushed
- Sewer odour inside the house or around the foundation
- Unusually green, soggy or sunken ground along the line between the house and the street
- Backups that return within weeks or months of being cleared
If you recognise two or more of these, get the line scoped before it becomes an emergency. A camera inspection takes under an hour and removes the guesswork entirely.
What a repair costs in New Franklin
For most New Franklin homeowners the honest comparison is not pipe-against-pipe but total project cost. Open-cut looks cheaper until the driveway and landscaping have to go back in.

Why us
Why New Franklin property owners call us
Camera first, every time
We do not quote a repair we have not seen. A camera inspection establishes the pipe material, finds every defect to the foot, and determines whether your line can be lined or needs replacing.
You keep the footage
Before and after. It is your evidence of the pipe's condition and the basis for any second opinion you want. Any contractor who will not hand it over is asking for trust they have not earned.
Available 24/7
Sewage entering a building is a health hazard, not a Monday morning problem. We answer around the clock for New Franklin and the surrounding Summit County area.
Your property stays intact
Mature trees, established lawn, driveway, walkways and patio are left where they are. On most New Franklin properties, restoring those costs more than the pipe work itself.

Answers
Trenchless sewer repair in New Franklin — FAQs
How much does trenchless sewer repair cost in New Franklin?
For a residential lateral, lining typically runs $4,000 to $20,000 and pipe bursting $5,000 to $25,000. A camera inspection is $100 to $750 and a single spot repair $1,500 to $5,000. The variables are line length, depth, pipe material and how much of the run is affected — which is why we inspect first.
How do I know whether my New Franklin line is cast iron, clay or Orangeburg?
You cannot tell from the surface, and all three were going into the ground around 1963. A camera inspection identifies the material immediately — cast iron shows rough internal scaling, clay shows joints every few feet, and Orangeburg shows an oval, blistered profile. The material decides the repair method.
Who is responsible for the sewer lateral in New Franklin?
In most Ohio municipalities the property owner maintains the lateral from the building to the public main, but the exact dividing line is set locally and genuinely varies. Confirm with the New Franklin sewer department or the Summit County sanitary engineer before authorising work — it is a short call that occasionally saves a five-figure bill.
Do you serve all of New Franklin?
We cover every address in New Franklin and across Summit County, 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Ring (888) 964-2896 and we will tell you honestly how quickly we can get there.
Will my homeowners insurance cover this?
Do not assume so. Most standard policies exclude both the line repair and sewage backup damage. Ask your agent specifically about a sewer backup endorsement, and ask what the gradual-damage exclusion says — that clause is usually what decides a claim.
Do you work near Portage Lakes State Park?
Yes — we cover all of New Franklin and the wider Summit County area, including the streets around Portage Lakes State Park. Call (888) 964-2896 and we will confirm a response window for your address.
