Trenchless Replacement
Pipe bursting replaces the line between two pits when the site and pipe allow.
TRENCHLESS SEWER / LINE REPLACEMENT
A NEW SEWER LINE WITH LESS DIGGING.
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 SERVICES / SPECIALTY SERVICE

UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE
A backup alone does not prove a sewer line needs replacing. A camera inspection shows whether the pipe is broken, collapsed, or failing along its length. If replacement is justified, pipe bursting can pull a new pipe through the path of the old one between an entry pit and a receiving pit. Not every line qualifies: soil, depth, pipe material, nearby utilities, and the route all matter, and sometimes traditional excavation is the better method. Permits may be required by the local building authority.
WHAT WE'LL CHECK
We review inspection findings and repair history, inspect the accessible line, and trace its route. We explain whether replacement is needed or a narrower repair would do. If replacement is the answer, we compare pipe bursting, lining where the pipe still holds its shape, and excavation, and explain pits, utility locating, permits, and restoration.

A localized defect may need only a spot repair; some routes are better handled by excavation.

GOOD TO KNOW
Have a question about your plumbing? These answers cover what we’re often asked.
Inspection findings, not a single backup, should support replacement. A camera can show whether the damage is widespread or limited to one section.
No. Soil, depth, pipe material, nearby utilities, and the route affect suitability. Sometimes traditional excavation is still the right method.
No. This work covers the private sewer line on the property. Concerns with the public main should go to the responsible agency.
