Sewer Line Problems in Waterford Township Homes
Waterford Township has a mix of housing stock that spans more than a century, from older traditional homes in Atco village to ranch and bi-level builds from the 1960s and 1970s scattered through Dunbarton and along Jackson Road. Many of these properties still have their original sewer lateral connecting to the municipal main, which means corrosion, root intrusion, and pipe collapse are real risks.
Orangeburg pipe was used extensively in South Jersey homes built before the mid-1970s. This tar-paper material has a service life of about 50 years, and many Waterford Township homes are well past that point. When Orangeburg fails, it flattens and collapses, blocking sewage flow and causing backups inside the home.

About Waterford Township
Waterford Township covers 36 square miles in Camden County and is home to roughly 10,400 residents. It is one of the larger townships in South Jersey by land area, and most of the residential development is concentrated in the western half of the township near Route 30 and Route 73.
Atco is the main village in the township and sits along U.S. Route 30 (White Horse Pike). It is served by the NJ Transit Atlantic City Line at Atco station, making it one of the more connected communities in rural Camden County.
Other communities within the township include Dunbarton, Bishops, Jackson, Pestletown, and Fisher, spread across the township’s southern and eastern portions.
The township borders Evesham, Medford, and Shamong to the north, Hammonton to the south, Berlin to the west, and the edge of Wharton State Forest to the east. Homes on the eastern side of Waterford typically sit on larger lots with older lateral lines running greater distances to reach the street main.
Older homes in Atco and surrounding communities often have Orangeburg or cast iron sewer laterals. Properties on lots averaging under a half-acre commonly have laterals running 50 to 80 feet from the house to the street. When these pipes fail, the repair requires excavation and full pipe replacement.
Sewer Line Repair Services in Waterford Township
Before any repair work begins, we send a CCTV camera down the sewer lateral to show you exactly what is causing the problem and where the failure is located.
When Orangeburg or cast iron has failed, we excavate and replace the damaged section with modern PVC pipe, then restore the surface to its original condition.
Tree roots are one of the most common causes of sewer line failure in older Waterford Township neighborhoods. We remove the roots and repair the entry point so they cannot grow back through the same gap.
When only a short section of the lateral has failed, a spot repair limits the excavation to just that section, keeping costs lower and yard disruption minimal.
Active sewage backups require immediate response. Call (856) 626-9366 for emergency sewer line service throughout Waterford Township.

Serving Homes Near Atco Village and Route 30
Our sewer line repair calls in Waterford Township are concentrated in the Atco village area, especially streets near the White Horse Pike and within a half-mile of the Atco NJ Transit station. These are some of the oldest streets in the township, and the sewer laterals under them reflect that age.
We also work regularly in the Dunbarton community in the southern part of the township, and along Jackson Road (County Route 534) in the north. Properties near the township’s border with Evesham and Medford sometimes experience sewer issues related to the depth and slope of older laterals on larger lots.
Route 73 borders the western edge of Waterford Township and connects the area to Berlin and Voorhees. We respond to sewer line calls on all sides of the township and can coordinate with neighboring municipalities when a lateral crosses a property boundary.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions About Sewer Line Repair in Waterford Township
If your home was built between the 1940s and mid-1970s, it almost certainly has Orangeburg sewer pipe or cast iron in the yard. You cannot identify it without a camera inspection. Signs of a failing Orangeburg lateral include multiple slow drains at once, a gurgling toilet, sewage odors in the yard, and unusually lush or wet patches of grass over the sewer line path.
Orangeburg that has already flattened or collapsed cannot be repaired in place. It has to be excavated and replaced with modern PVC pipe. In some cases where only a short section has failed, a spot repair can limit the excavation. We run a camera to assess the full line before recommending a scope of work.
Yes. Excavating to repair or replace a sewer lateral in Waterford Township requires a permit through the township’s Building Department. The Sewer Kings handles all permit applications and utility locates before any work begins, so you do not have to coordinate anything yourself.
A spot repair on a single pipe section typically takes one day. A full lateral replacement from the house to the street main usually takes one to two days depending on the depth of the line and any surface material like concrete or asphalt that needs to be cut and patched.
Multiple drains backing up at the same time, sewage odors in your yard or basement, unusually green or wet areas of lawn over the sewer line path, and gurgling sounds from your toilet when other drains are running are all warning signs. Any one of these warrants a camera inspection.
It varies by lot size and street layout. Most Atco village properties have shorter runs of 40 to 60 feet since lots are relatively compact near the White Horse Pike. Properties in Dunbarton and outer parts of the township on larger lots can have runs of 80 feet or more. We map the line with the camera before excavation so we know the exact route and depth.
