Protecting Your Property and Health with Professional Solutions

A sanitary sewer system is a crucial part of any community's infrastructure, consisting of an underground network of pipes designed to safely transport wastewater away from homes, businesses, and industrial sites to treatment facilities. This system safeguards public health by managing human waste from toilets, sinks, showers, and other household and commercial appliances. Without a reliable sewer system, wastewater could pose serious health risks and environmental hazards.

Our Sanitary Sewer Services

We provide robust sanitary sewer services designed to keep your system functioning optimally. A well-maintained sewer system is critical to the smooth operation of your plumbing and the protection of public health and the environment. Our team has the latest technology and is backed by extensive experience, so you know your sewer system is in capable hands.

Camera Inspections
One of the most effective ways to identify sewer issues early is through camera inspections. Our team can thoroughly examine your sewer lines using advanced camera technology without requiring invasive digging. This method lets us pinpoint blockages, cracks, or other damage with high precision, helping you avoid costly repairs. 

Sewer Line Repair and Maintenance
Sewer lines can face various issues, from leaks and blockages to gradual wear and tear. We offer a full spectrum of sewer line repair and maintenance services. Whether it’s a simple pipe patching job or more extensive repairs, we restore your sewer lines to full functionality. Our experienced technicians are adept at quickly identifying and fixing issues, minimizing disruption to your property, and preventing further damage.

Sewer Line Replacement
Repairs alone may be insufficient in some cases, and a complete sewer line replacement is required. If your sewer lines are severely damaged or have reached the end of their lifespan, we offer efficient and durable replacement services. Our team can carefully handle every step, from excavation to installation, with minimal impact on your property. We strive to deliver long-lasting solutions to restore your sewer system to top condition.

Recognizing the Signs You Need a Sanitary Sewer Service

Sanitary sewer problems often go unnoticed until they become costly and disruptive. Recognizing the early warning signs can save you time, money, and unnecessary stress. We advise homeowners and business owners to stay alert to potential problems, enabling them to take swift action before things worsen.

Indicators of a sanitary sewer issue include the following:

  • Slow drains If you notice that water is draining more slowly than usual, it could be a sign of a developing blockage or buildup within the pipes.
  • Foul odors Unpleasant smells from your drains often indicate sewage backups or deteriorating pipes, which can lead to contamination if left unchecked.
  • Water pooling Standing water in sinks, tubs, or showers could suggest a clog in the main sewer line, preventing proper drainage.
  • Landscape changes – Unexplained wet patches or sinkholes in your yard may signal a leak or broken sewer line beneath the surface.
  • Visible water damage Damp spots or water stains on walls or floors, particularly near drain lines, can be a sign that sewage is leaking and causing structural damage.
  • Gurgling sounds Hearing strange noises from your plumbing fixtures could mean air is trapped in the pipes due to a blockage or obstruction in the sewer line.

Promptly addressing these issues can help avoid more extensive harm, protect your property from water damage, and prevent expensive repairs later.

    "Call them!!"

    We used Delco Storm & Sewer to perform sewer inspection for UD township prior to settlement. We really appreciated how quickly they could get us scheduled and how friendly, communicative and responsive they were in doing so.

Philadelphia-Specific Sanitary Sewer Challenges

Philadelphia’s aging sewer infrastructure and unpredictable weather conditions present unique challenges for residential and commercial property owners. Many of the city’s sewer systems were constructed over a century ago, and the wear and tear on these older pipes is increasingly evident. Fluctuating weather conditions—particularly heavy rainfall and the freeze-thaw cycles during winter—only exacerbate these problems. The result? Corroded pipes, mineral buildup, and blockages that can lead to serious sewage backups, posing contamination risks and disrupting daily life.

In neighborhoods like Fishtown, University City, and Center City, the need for reliable sewer maintenance and repairs is exceptionally high. With a combination of older infrastructure and high-density development, these areas are especially vulnerable to sewer line failures. Whether it’s a routine inspection to prevent future issues or emergency services to address an unexpected backup, we are ready to provide professional solutions.

Philadelphia’s unique geography also adds pressure to the city's sewer systems. For example, areas near the Schuylkill River or the Benjamin Franklin Parkway are prone to overflows during heavy rainfall. With treatment plants often overwhelmed during storms, combined with the city’s historic infrastructure, these neighborhoods face an increased risk of sewage backups that can affect businesses and homes alike. We understand these localized issues and work efficiently to provide practical solutions, helping protect residential and commercial properties from the long-term damage that can result from these challenges.
