The sewer lateral is the least visible and most consequential pipe on your property. When it goes, wastewater has nowhere to go but back into the house. ProStream Plumbing provides full sewer line services across the Baltimore region — inspection, cleaning, spot repair and full replacement — and shows homeowners the camera footage behind every recommendation.

- Camera inspection with depth and distance locating of any defect.
- Pre-purchase sewer inspections for home buyers.
- Cable clearing and hydro-jetting for blockages and root intrusion.
- Spot repair of isolated cracks, breaks and offset joints.
- Full sewer main replacement with modern PVC at correct grade.
- Cleanout installation where the property has no accessible access point.
How Sewer Lines Fail Around Here
Vitrified clay dominates older Baltimore neighborhoods, jointed every few feet — and every joint is a root entry point. Cast iron corrodes from the inside and loses diameter. Orangeburg deforms and collapses. Newer PVC rarely fails on its own but can be crushed by excavation or knocked out of alignment by settling soil.
Heavy clay soils that expand and contract seasonally accelerate all of it, and mature street trees planted directly over laterals do the rest.
Diagnosis Before Dollars
Camera first is not a formality. It determines whether you need a two-hundred-dollar cleaning or a full replacement, and it prevents both mistakes: paying for replacement you did not need, and paying repeatedly for cleanings on a pipe that has already failed.
You see what we see. If the line is fine, we tell you it is fine.
Warranty-Backed, Fully Permitted Work
Sewer work is inspected because a bad connection or an incorrectly graded run is a public health matter. ProStream is licensed, insured and owner-operated by a Maryland master plumber with fifteen-plus years of field experience, and every sewer replacement we perform is permitted, inspected and warranty-backed.
