Line The Existing Pipe
For a pipe that still holds its shape, a cured-in-place liner renews it from inside.
TRENCHLESS SEWER / REPAIR OPTIONS
TRENCHLESS REPAIR MEANS MORE THAN ONE METHOD.
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.
TRENCHLESS SEWER SERVICES / SPECIALTY SERVICE

UNDERSTAND THE ISSUE
A cracked or leaking pipe that still holds its shape may be renewed with a cured-in-place liner installed through a cleanout or small access point. A pipe that has collapsed, is badly offset, or sags is usually not a lining candidate; pipe bursting can replace it between an entry pit and a receiving pit. Both start with cleaning and a camera inspection. Neither means zero digging in every case, and not every line qualifies for either. Traditional excavation is still sometimes the right method.
WHAT WE'LL CHECK
We clean and inspect the accessible line and trace its route. We note defects, shape, joints, sags, depth, and what sits above the line. Then we explain whether lining, pipe bursting, a spot repair, or excavation is the practical choice, with the access and permit requirements for each.

For a pipe too damaged to line, a new pipe is pulled in as the old one is broken outward.

GOOD TO KNOW
Have a question about your plumbing? These answers cover what we’re often asked.
Lining forms a new pipe inside the old one. Pipe bursting breaks the old pipe outward and pulls a new pipe in behind it.
No. It depends on the pipe and the site. Sometimes a spot repair or traditional excavation is more practical.
Lining usually works through a cleanout or small access point; bursting usually needs an entry pit and a receiving pit. We explain the access before work starts.
