What is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

Trenchless sewer repair is an alternative method to the more traditional form of sewer repair. It is an option for sewer repair that avoids large clean-up efforts after digging up the sewer pipes. This method of sewer repair allows plumbers and piping companies to repair or even replace sewer lines without tearing up your home or yard. It is a cost-effective, time-saving, non-invasive and long-lasting choice for sewer repairs.

We use a pipe lining method that allows us to easily repair sewer pipes without digging them up and leaving a mess in our wake. Typically, there are only one or two access points dug with one often not even being on your property. This removes the need for an entire trench and leaves you with new, repaired sewer pipes with minimal clean up.

Pipe lining, the method of trenchless sewer repair we utilize, works by installing a resin-saturated liner into the existing sewer pipe. This lining can repair leaks and add structural stability to old pipes. For this type of trenchless sewer repair, there is often only one access hole dug to insert the pipe liner.

Once the hole is dug, the pipe liner can be inserted into the sewer pipe where it is either inflated or expanded. Then heat is applied to solidify and cure the new lining, effectively adding a new pipe into the old one through one simple hole.

Trenchless sewer repair is not always an option or a standalone job. It is best to consult with a professional about what service is best for your sewer pipe to ensure that the repairs last as long as possible.

Trenchless sewer repair requires sophisticated equipment that must be used by a trained professional. There are many moving parts to the process that require experience and expertise to be carried out correctly.
