How It Works

Step 1: Comprehensive Sewer Inspection

We start with a camera inspection of your sewer line. This allows us to pinpoint the exact issue—whether it’s invasive roots, cracks, corrosion, or stubborn blockages. By zeroing in on the problem, we ensure an accurate diagnosis and avoid unnecessary digging.​

Step 2: Thorough Pipe Cleaning

Next, we clean the interior of your sewer pipe to perfection. Removing debris and buildup ensures the repairs bond effectively and sets the stage for long-lasting results.

Step 3: Precision Trenchless Repair Techniques

Depending on your unique situation, we use one of two revolutionary, no-dig methods to restore your sewer line:

  • Pipe Lining: Using a flexible liner coated in durable resin, we create a brand-new interior pipe without tearing up your yard or driveway. Once cured, the liner seamlessly seals cracks and imperfections, giving you a like-new pipe that resists future damage.

  • Pipe Bursting: For severely compromised pipes, we replace them with ease. A new, high-strength pipe is pulled through the old one, breaking the damaged pipe apart and installing the replacement simultaneously.

What Is Sewer Pipe Lining?

Sewer pipe lining is a trenchless repair method that restores your existing sewer line from the inside. Instead of digging up and replacing the pipe, we install a durable liner that creates a new, seamless pipe within the old one.

This process seals cracks, blocks root intrusion, and strengthens your sewer line without major excavation. It’s a long-lasting solution that avoids the mess and disruption of traditional sewer repair.

 

 

How Pipe Lining Works

We start with a sewer camera inspection to assess the condition of your pipe. After cleaning the line, a flexible liner is inserted and cured in place, creating a strong, jointless pipe inside your existing one.

Common Sewer Problems We Fix

Accurate diagnosis is the first step to the right repair.

Sewer issues don’t always start with a major backup. Many problems develop over time and can worsen if left untreated. Here are some of the most common issues we see:

  • Recurring drain backups
  • Slow drains throughout the home
  • Tree root intrusion in sewer lines
  • Cracked or deteriorating pipes
  • Bellied or sagging sewer lines
  • Frequent clogs that keep coming back

Every situation is different, which is why we start with a sewer camera inspection to determine the exact cause and recommend the right solution.

When Trenchless Sewer Lining May Be Recommended

Not every sewer issue requires full excavation. In many cases, trenchless sewer lining can be used to repair damaged pipes while meeting local city requirements.

  • Pipes with cracks or minor structural damage
  • Root intrusion that has been cleared
  • Aging sewer lines that need reinforcement
  • Situations where excavation would be disruptive or unnecessary

All sewer repairs must meet local municipal guidelines. After a camera inspection, we’ll determine the condition of your line and recommend a solution that complies with city requirements.

Trenchless Sewer Repair FAQs

What is trenchless sewer repair?

Trenchless sewer repair is a no dig method used to fix damaged sewer pipes underground. It works by repairing or replacing the pipe from the inside using specialized equipment, which eliminates the need for large trenches and protects landscaping, driveways, and foundations.

A plumber first inspects the sewer line using a camera to identify the damage. Depending on the condition of the pipe, a liner may be installed inside the existing pipe or a new pipe may be pulled through the old one. Both methods restore proper flow and structural integrity without extensive excavation.

Yes. Trenchless sewer repair is worth it for homeowners who want a long lasting solution with minimal property damage. It typically costs less than traditional excavation when restoration expenses are considered and offers durable results that can last decades.

Trenchless sewer repairs are designed to last 50 years or more. The materials used are resistant to corrosion, root intrusion, and common causes of sewer line failure, making this a reliable long term solution.

You may need trenchless sewer repair if you experience frequent drain backups, slow drains throughout the home, sewage odors, gurgling sounds from pipes, or wet areas in the yard. A sewer camera inspection is the most accurate way to confirm the issue and determine the best repair method.
