What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?
Trenchless repair lets us fix or replace underground sewer and drain lines without digging up your landscaping, driveway, or floors. It’s a modern, clean, and long-lasting alternative to traditional sewer excavation.
With trenchless methods, we can repair most pipe issues through small access points, often in just one day, minimizing disruption while maximizing durability.
Our Trenchless Sewer Repair Services
We offer several proven trenchless techniques, each chosen based on your pipe’s material, condition, and location. After a detailed inspection using CCTV camera technology, we’ll recommend the most effective and cost-efficient method.
Cured-In-Place Pipe Lining (CIPP)
Ideal for long, continuous sections of pipe with cracks, root intrusion, or corrosion. We insert a resinsaturated liner into the damaged pipe and cure it in place, forming a brand-new pipe inside the old one
without digging.
- Minimal access points
- Seals joints and cracks
- 50+ year lifespan
Epoxy Coating - Brushed or Blow-In
Perfect for smaller-diameter pipes or internal drain lines, epoxy coating creates a protective, smooth interior layer to stop corrosion and improve flow.
- Brushed application for targeted repairs
- Blow-in coating for full internal coverage
- Great for cast iron and older residential lines
Fiberglass Point Repair
A focused, structural patch for isolated damage like cracks, offsets, or root intrusion. We use fiberglass sleeves to reinforce the pipe at the exact location of the issue, no need to reline the entire length.
- Fast, precise, and cost-effective
- Excellent for spot failures
- Often done in a few hours
Pipe Bursting
When a pipe is too damaged for lining or has collapsed, we use pipe bursting to break the old pipe apart and pull a new one in its place, all without trenching your yard.
- Best for full pipe replacement
- Works on collapsed or severely damaged lines
- Strong HDPE replacement pipe

Common Sewer Line Problems
UNDERSTANDING RESIDENTIAL SEWER ISSUES
Root Intrusion
Tree and shrub roots naturally seek out water sources, often penetrating sewer lines through joints or small cracks. Over time, roots can completely block sewer flow and cause extensive damage.
Pipe Deterioration
Older sewer lines made from clay, cast iron, or early plastic materials can deteriorate over time, developing cracks, breaks, or complete collapse that requires repair or replacement.
Blockages and Buildup
Improper disposal of grease, hair, and other materials can create stubborn blockages that require professional removal. Some blockages indicate underlying pipe problems.
Ground Shifting
Natural ground settling, earthquakes, or construction activity can cause sewer lines to shift, separate, or crack, requiring professional repair.
Improper Installation
Older sewer installations may not meet current standards for slope, materials, or connections, requiring updates for proper function.

FAQs
COMMON QUESTIONS FROM HOMEOWNERS
How do I know if I need sewer repair or just drain cleaning?
Multiple drains backing up simultaneously often indicates sewer line problems rather than simple drain clogs. Video inspection can determine the exact issue.
What Causes Sewer Line Issues?
Age-related wear and tear is the main cause of sewer line problems. In addition, shifts in the ground, clogs, tree roots, and fluctuations in water pressure can cause sewer line damage.
How Long Will the Repair Take?
The duration of sewer repair can vary depending on the nature of the problem and the repair method used. Some repairs may take several days, while others can take a few hours.
Will sewer repair damage my landscaping?
With trenchless repair methods, we can often complete repairs without damaging your landscaping. When excavation is necessary, we restore your property afterward.
