About American Sewer Specialist

American Sewer Specialist is a family-owned and operated company providing sewer, drainage, and related plumbing services in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. The company has more than 30 years of experience and serves both residential and commercial customers.

Its services address a variety of problems, including damaged sewer pipes, clogged drains, underground water lines, and property drainage concerns.

American Sewer Specialist also offers trenchless repair methods designed to reduce the amount of excavation required for suitable sewer line projects. The appropriate repair method depends on the condition of the pipe, the location of the damage, and the specific needs of the property.

Sewer Line Repair and Replacement

A damaged sewer line can cause slow drainage, unpleasant odors, recurring blockages, and wastewater backups. Tree roots, aging pipes, shifting soil, and cracks can contribute to sewer line problems.

American Sewer Specialist provides sewer line repair and replacement services to address these concerns.

Depending on the damage, a repair may involve fixing a localized section of pipe or replacing a larger portion of the sewer line. A professional inspection can help determine the cause of the problem and identify an appropriate solution.

Addressing sewer line issues early may help reduce the risk of additional damage and unexpected repair expenses.

Trenchless Sewer Line Repair

Trenchless sewer line repair is an option for certain damaged underground pipes. Unlike traditional methods that may require extensive digging, suitable trenchless techniques can repair or rehabilitate pipes with less excavation.

American Sewer Specialist offers trenchless and zero-dig sewer line repair, along with pipe lining and pipe bursting solutions.

These methods may be useful when property owners want to limit disruption to landscaping, driveways, sidewalks, or other surface areas.

However, trenchless repair is not suitable for every sewer problem. The condition of the existing pipe, the extent of the damage, and the layout of the sewer system help determine whether this approach is appropriate.

Hydrojet Drain Cleaning

Recurring clogs can develop when grease, sludge, debris, and other materials accumulate inside drain pipes. These blockages may slow water flow and contribute to unpleasant odors or backups.

American Sewer Specialist offers hydrojet drain cleaning to help remove buildup from suitable pipes.

Hydrojet cleaning uses high-pressure water to clear certain obstructions and clean the interior surfaces of drain lines. Before selecting this method, a professional should consider the pipe's material, condition, and the nature of the blockage.

Professional drain cleaning can help restore proper flow and identify underlying problems that may be contributing to recurring clogs.

Sewer Camera Inspection and Line Locating

When a sewer line repeatedly backs up or drains slowly, the cause may not be immediately visible. A camera inspection can help identify problems inside the pipe without requiring extensive excavation.

American Sewer Specialist provides camera services and sewer line locating to help investigate sewer problems.

An inspection may help identify cracks, root intrusion, obstructions, pipe deterioration, or other conditions affecting sewer performance. Locating the affected section can also help determine where repairs may be needed.

Identifying the source of a problem before beginning major work can help property owners understand the repair options available.

Sewer Excavation and Water Line Repair

Some plumbing and sewer problems require excavation when the damaged pipe cannot be repaired using a suitable trenchless method.

American Sewer Specialist provides sewer excavation and repair, site preparation, and water line excavation and repair services.

Excavation may be necessary when a pipe has collapsed, sustained significant damage, or requires replacement. The work involved depends on the pipe's location, soil conditions, and the surrounding property.

Professional assessment helps determine the scope of the project and the appropriate approach for restoring the affected line.

French Drain Installation and Repair

Water accumulation around a property can create drainage problems and contribute to wet yards, basement moisture, or water collecting near foundations.

French drains are drainage systems designed to collect and redirect groundwater away from selected areas. Their effectiveness depends on proper placement, grading, drainage conditions, and an appropriate discharge location.

American Sewer Specialist offers French drain installation and repair to help address qualifying property drainage concerns.

If water repeatedly collects around your home or business, evaluating the source of the problem can help determine whether a French drain or another drainage solution may be appropriate.

Septic Tank Installation and Repair

Properties that rely on septic systems need appropriate installation, maintenance, and repairs to support reliable wastewater management.

American Sewer Specialist offers septic tank installation and repair services. Depending on the property and system condition, work may involve addressing damaged components, repairing specific problems, or installing a suitable replacement system.

Septic system projects can involve site conditions and local requirements that must be considered before work begins. A professional assessment can help property owners understand the scope of the project and any applicable requirements.

The company provides septic installation and repair services but does not offer septic tank pumping.

Residential and Commercial Sewer Services

Sewer and drainage problems can affect properties of different sizes, from private homes to commercial buildings.

Residential customers may need assistance with blocked sewer lines, broken underground pipes, drainage problems, or damaged water lines. Commercial property owners may require sewer inspections, pipe rehabilitation, excavation, or repairs to reduce disruption to business operations.

American Sewer Specialist provides residential and commercial sewer services throughout its service area in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania.

The appropriate solution depends on the property's plumbing system, the severity of the problem, and the conditions affecting the damaged line.

Signs You May Need Professional Sewer Service

Unexpected basement moisture or water collecting near the foundation may also warrant an evaluation of the property's drainage system.
