Lateral replacement

Borough asking you to replace your lateral?

Why it happens in Sellersville

Sellersville Borough has used a lateral replacement agreement for owners on streets where it replaces the sewer main, covering replacement of the private sanitary sewer lateral to reconnect to the new main. Its lateral presentation lists private lateral replacement by owner as a project step.

What to try, and when to call us

If your street is on the list, have your lateral filmed first. A plumber can tell you if it's cracked, rooted or just clogged.

What to Do While You Wait in Sellersville

Skip the chemical drain cleaner. It can splash back and it can't clear a main line.

  • Stop running water if more than one drain is backing up.
  • Don't pour chemical cleaner into standing water. It can splash back when the plumber opens the line.
  • If you know where the cleanout is, clear the area around it.
  • Keep children and pets away from dirty water.
