Sewer, water line and drain service in Bethesda, MD
Bethesda has some of the oldest housing in Montgomery County sitting right next to brand new rebuilds, often on the same street. We handle trenchless sewer replacement, cast iron descaling, water line work and drain cleaning for Bethesda, MD homes of every age.
Tight lots, finished hardscape and mature trees mean the way we fix a line matters as much as the fix itself.
What we see most in Bethesda
Many older Bethesda homes still have cast iron drains inside and clay or cast iron laterals outside. Cast iron scales until the pipe loses much of its bore, and clay joints let roots in. We see both constantly, and descaling followed by lining is often the way to fix them without opening finished basements or yards.
Lots here are often narrow, with driveways, patios and walkways close to the house. When the lateral runs under all of it, trenchless replacement from small pits saves a great deal of restoration.
We also get a steady stream of kitchen sink clogs in Bethesda, especially in older homes where the kitchen line has been collecting grease for decades.

Guides for Bethesda homeowners
Bethesda questions
Yes. Trenchless methods need access at each end rather than a trench along the whole line, which is a big advantage on narrow lots with hardscape close to the house.
If the pipe wall is still sound, descaling restores the flow for far less disruption. If the camera shows thin or cracked pipe after descaling, lining is the next step, still without opening walls.
We strongly recommend it. The lateral in an older home can be in excellent shape or close to failing, and the camera tells you which before you commit.
