DRAINS & SEWER
Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement And Pipe Bursting
REPLACE THE LINE, NOT THE YARD.
When a sewer line is too damaged to repair, pipe bursting can replace it with less digging than a full trench. We’ll check the line and the site first and tell you honestly whether trenchless is the right method.
THE ISSUE
When To Call For Trenchless Sewer Services
In pipe bursting, a bursting head is pulled through the old pipe and breaks it outward while a new pipe, commonly HDPE, is pulled in behind it. The work usually needs an entry pit and a receiving pit rather than a trench along the whole route. Depth, soil, pipe material, nearby utilities, and the route all affect whether a line qualifies.

Sewer Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting replaces a damaged sewer line by breaking the old pipe outward while a new one is pulled into its place. We’ll inspect the line and the site and explain whether bursting fits.

When a sewer line has failed, trenchless replacement can install a new line with pits at each end instead of a trench along the route. We’ll check whether your line and site qualify before recommending it.
TRENCHLESS SEWER SERVICESTrenchless Sewer Repair
Trenchless sewer repair usually means one of two methods: lining the existing pipe from inside, or replacing it by pipe bursting. We’ll inspect the line and explain which one fits, or whether digging is the better answer.

Knowing whether trouble affects one fixture, one area, or the whole property helps narrow the search. It also helps us explain where access may be needed.
HOW WE HELP
Our Trenchless Sewer Services Process.
We inspect the line with a camera, review the route and what sits above it, and compare pipe bursting, lining, and traditional excavation. Before any digging, underground utilities are located through DigAlert (811), and we explain whether a permit is needed.
- 01
Inspect And Locate
We look at the line by camera and trace its route, depth, and connections.
- 02
Plan The Pits
We explain where the entry and receiving pits would go, what utilities need marking, and any permit requirements.
- 03
Replace And Check
After approval, the new pipe is pulled in, connections are made, and the line is checked before the pits are closed.

Questions Answered.
Here are answers to questions we hear often. Call if you want to talk through your own situation.
Does trenchless mean no digging?
No. Pipe bursting usually needs an entry pit and a receiving pit, and sometimes more access at connections. It avoids a trench along the full route, not all digging.
Does every sewer line qualify?
No. Soil, depth, pipe material, nearby utilities, and the route all matter. Sometimes traditional excavation is still the right method.
Do I need a permit?
Sewer replacement may require a permit from the local building authority. We explain what applies to your property before work begins.
