Signs You May Have a Damaged Sewer Line
Don't wait for a sewage backup. These are the early warnings.
Two Trenchless Methods — We Use the Right One
What your sewer needs depends on what the camera shows. We don't upsell you into full replacement if a liner will do.
CIPP Pipe Lining
Best for: Cracked, root-infiltrated, or corroded pipes
- 1.Camera inspection confirms pipe condition and measurements
- 2.Pipe is hydro-jetted clean of roots and debris
- 3.Resin-saturated liner is inserted and inflated inside the old pipe
- 4.UV light or steam cures the liner in place — creates a new pipe inside the old one
- 5.Camera re-inspection confirms seal
50+ year rated seamless liner, no joints, no future root entry points
Pipe Bursting
Best for: Severely collapsed or heavily damaged pipes
- 1.Camera inspection maps the line's path and damage
- 2.A bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, fracturing it outward
- 3.New HDPE pipe is pulled in simultaneously behind the bursting head
- 4.New pipe is connected at both ends and camera-confirmed
Brand new pipe with 50+ year lifespan, stronger than the original
Trenchless vs. Traditional Excavation
Trenchless often costs less once you factor in everything traditional digging requires.
| Factor | Traditional Dig | Trenchless |
|---|---|---|
| Time to complete | 3–5 days | 1 day |
| Yard damage | Full trench dug | Minimal access only |
| Concrete/driveway | Often cut & replaced | Usually untouched |
| Landscape restoration | Extra cost | Not needed |
| Pipe warranty | 1–5 years typical | 50-year rated liner/HDPE |
| Future root intrusion | Same joints remain | Sealed — no entry points |
Trenchless Sewer Repair FAQs
What is trenchless sewer repair?
Trenchless repair fixes or replaces your sewer line from the inside — without digging a trench through your yard, driveway, or landscaping. We access the pipe through existing cleanout points and either line the old pipe (CIPP) or pull a new pipe through it (pipe bursting). You get a repaired line with far less disruption and cost than traditional excavation.
How much does trenchless sewer repair cost?
Pricing depends on the length of the line, the repair method (lining vs. pipe bursting), and access conditions. We do a camera inspection first so you get an accurate quote — not a guess. Call us for a free estimate.
How long does trenchless repair take?
Most trenchless jobs complete in one day. A camera inspection comes first (often same-day), then we schedule the repair. Compare that to traditional trenching which typically takes 3–5 days including restoration.
Is trenchless repair as strong as a new pipe?
Yes — CIPP lining creates a seamless, jointless pipe inside your old pipe rated for 50+ years. Pipe bursting installs brand new HDPE pipe with no joints, which is actually stronger and more flexible than the original.
Does my whole line need to be replaced, or just part of it?
It depends on what the camera shows. If damage is isolated to one section, a spot repair or short liner may be all you need. If there's root intrusion, collapse, or offset joints throughout, full-length lining or replacement is more cost-effective.
Will my landscaping or driveway be damaged?
With true trenchless methods, the answer is no — or minimal access holes at most. We access the line through existing cleanouts. No trenching, no re-seeding, no concrete repair.
