When Trenchless Sewer Service May Work

Trenchless methods can address many common sewer line problems without the extensive excavation required by traditional services. These methods help limit the damage to your property while still providing reliable solutions for your sewer line issues.

Your sewer line may qualify for trenchless service if it has:

Trenchless work isn’t right for every situation. A completely collapsed pipe, severe misalignment, or limited access may require traditional sewer services. We’ll inspect your line and explain which options are available before recommending a solution.

Trenchless Sewer Repair & Replacement Options

We’ll start with a sewer camera inspection to see inside your line and determine the location, extent, and type of damage. From there, we can identify whether your existing pipe can be restored with relining, needs to be replaced through pipe bursting, or requires another repair approach.

Pipe relining repairs your sewer line from inside the existing pipe. A flexible liner is inserted into the damaged line and cured in place, creating a new pipe surface within the original structure.

Relining may be appropriate for cracks, leaks, root intrusion, and deterioration when the existing pipe still has enough structural stability to support the liner. Because the full line doesn’t need to be exposed, this method can reduce excavation around your yard and hardscaping.

Pipe bursting replaces a damaged sewer line by breaking apart the old pipe while pulling a new one into the existing path. It’s commonly considered when the original line is too deteriorated for relining but still follows a usable route.

This method can provide a complete replacement without digging a continuous trench. Access points are still required, but disruption is generally more limited than with traditional sewer line replacement.

What to Expect During Trenchless Sewer Repair or Replacement

The process will vary based on your sewer line’s condition, the location of the damage, and the trenchless method used. Here’s what your service may involve:

Your plumber will review the backups, odors, drainage changes, or yard conditions you’ve noticed. We’ll then inspect your sewer line to locate the problem and determine how much of the pipe is affected.

A sewer camera may be used to examine the inside of your line and identify cracks, root intrusion, deterioration, offsets, or collapsed sections. This helps us determine whether relining, pipe bursting, or traditional excavation is appropriate.

We’ll explain the methods available for your property, what each option involves, and why we’re recommending a particular approach. You’ll receive an upfront estimate before approving the project.

We’ll identify the access points required for the selected trenchless method and prepare the surrounding work areas. Our team will take care to limit unnecessary disturbance to your yard, driveway, or landscaping.

For relining, we’ll prepare the existing pipe and install the new liner inside it. For pipe bursting, we’ll break apart the damaged line while pulling the replacement pipe into place.

After the work is complete, we’ll confirm that wastewater is flowing properly and review the finished service with you. We’ll also remove project waste and clean the affected work areas.

Frequently Asked Questions About Trenchless Sewer Service

Relining may work when your existing pipe is damaged but still structurally stable. Pipe bursting is generally considered when the old line needs to be replaced rather than repaired. A sewer camera inspection helps determine which method is appropriate.

Yes, but much less than traditional replacement. Trenchless methods require access points at one or both ends of the affected line rather than a trench along its entire length.

Not always. A severely collapsed or misaligned pipe may not provide a usable path for relining or pipe bursting. Traditional sewer repair may be needed in those situations.

It can significantly reduce disruption compared with traditional excavation, especially when the line runs beneath hardscaping or established landscaping. The amount of disturbance will depend on access and pipe conditions.

Yes, in many cases. Relining can seal areas where roots entered through cracks or joints, while pipe bursting can replace a line with more extensive root-related damage.
