What we do in Hillsborough

The condition of the line determines the work.

A recurring clog, a rough cast iron line and a localized defect call for different conversations. The camera helps establish which one you are having.

01

Camera inspections & locating

We guide a camera through an accessible sewer line to look for visible obstructions, buildup and damage. Locating helps identify where an area of concern sits along the line; we explain what the footage shows before discussing further work.

02

Drain cleaning & cast iron descaling

Cleaning addresses an obstruction. Where older cast iron has accumulated scale along its walls, descaling can remove that buildup and open the passage. We assess the pipe’s condition before recommending that work.

03

Sewer line repair

When inspection reveals a defect, we discuss the repair approach that fits its location and the surrounding pipe. A qualifying localized defect may be suitable for a UV-cured point repair from inside the line, minimizing the need for traditional excavation.

Inspection first

See the footage before approving a repair.

The inspection is a way to make the next decision with the pipe’s visible condition in front of you.

01 /

Tell us what is happening

Request an inspection and describe the symptoms—whether the drain keeps backing up, flow has slowed or you need a closer look at the line.

02 /

We look inside

The owner uses a sewer camera to examine accessible pipe and identify visible trouble areas. Where useful, locating helps place a finding along the line.

03 /

We explain what the camera shows

We walk through the footage and distinguish an obstruction or scale from a defect that may need repair. You hear the options before approving any repair work.

Hillsborough / Work in view

The pipe tells the story.

Every line has its own condition, access and history. That is why we begin with an inspection rather than assuming a recurring problem needs the same fix as the last one.

Hillsborough questions

Before we look inside

Do you serve Hillsborough from Burlington?

Yes. Millstone Trenchless is based in Burlington, NC and serves Hillsborough as part of its service area from Greensboro to Durham.

Does a camera inspection also clear a blockage?

No. The camera is used to see and locate what is visible inside an accessible line. If an obstruction needs cleaning, we explain that finding and discuss the appropriate work separately.

Can descaling repair damaged cast iron?

Descaling removes buildup along the pipe wall; it does not repair a defect in the pipe. Looking inside helps us discuss whether the issue is buildup, damage or both.

Will a UV point repair work for any sewer line?

No. UV point repair is for qualifying localized defects. The defect, surrounding pipe condition and access all matter. We review what the inspection shows before recommending a repair approach.
