Sewer Line Repair for Turnersville's PVC Connection Issues
Turnersville is a community within Washington Township that was largely developed between the 1970s and 1990s. Unlike the older towns in the area that have clay or Orangeburg pipe, most Turnersville homes have PVC sewer laterals. PVC is a durable material, but it is not immune to problems. The most common failure point in Turnersville is where the PVC lateral connects to the main sewer line in the street.
Connection failures happen when the joint between the lateral and the main shifts due to soil settling. Turnersville sits on soil that was graded and compacted during development. Over decades, that fill soil continues to settle and compact further. The movement pulls the lateral connection apart, creating a gap where roots enter and flow is disrupted.
The Sewer Kings understand the specific pipe and soil conditions in Turnersville. We use camera inspections to identify connection failures, offset joints, and settling damage so repairs address the root cause.

About Turnersville, NJ
Turnersville is an unincorporated community within Washington Township in Gloucester County. It serves as the commercial hub of the township, centered around the intersection of Route 42, the Black Horse Pike, and Route 168. Washington Township has a population of around 48,000, and Turnersville makes up a large portion of its developed area.
Residential development in Turnersville happened primarily between the 1970s and 1990s, later than most of the surrounding communities. The housing stock consists of colonials, bi-levels, and townhomes in planned developments. Builders during this era used PVC pipe for sewer laterals, which was a significant upgrade over the clay and Orangeburg used in earlier decades.
PVC pipe itself holds up well over time. The weak points are the connections. Where a PVC lateral meets the main sewer line in the street, the joint relies on a gasket seal and proper bedding in the trench. When the surrounding soil settles, the lateral shifts relative to the main, and the joint separates. This is the most common sewer line failure we see in Turnersville.
Soil settling is widespread in Turnersville because much of the area was graded from farmland and wooded lots during development. The fill soil compacts over decades, pulling pipes downward. Homes on cul-de-sacs and at the ends of long lateral runs are especially vulnerable because the pipe has more distance to shift.

Serving Homes Near the Cross Keys Road Corridor and Route 42
Our crews work throughout Turnersville from the Route 42 corridor to the residential developments that extend along Cross Keys Road and Fries Mill Road. We know which developments were built in which decade and what pipe conditions to expect.
Homes in the developments off Greentree Road and Egg Harbor Road were among the first built in the 1970s and have the oldest PVC laterals in the area. The neighborhoods along Hurffville-Cross Keys Road and near Washington Township High School were developed in the 1980s and 1990s. Properties closer to the Route 42 interchange have some of the longest lateral runs in the area, which makes them more susceptible to settling damage.
Whether your home is in an older development or a newer section of Turnersville, our team can reach your property the same week you call.
