The words 'sewer line replacement' used to mean an excavator tearing up your yard, driveway, and landscaping. Trenchless technology changed that — often fixing the line through just one or two small access points.
Pipe lining (CIPP)
Cured-in-place pipe lining inserts a resin-saturated liner into your existing pipe and inflates it. The resin hardens, forming a new, seamless pipe inside the old one — no digging along the pipe's length required.
Pipe bursting
For pipes too damaged to line, pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through the old one while breaking the old pipe outward. It replaces the line entirely through small access pits at each end.
The advantages
- Minimal digging — your yard and driveway stay intact
- Faster than traditional excavation
- Often more affordable overall (no landscape restoration)
- The new pipe resists roots and corrosion
- Long-lasting, durable results
Is your line a candidate?
Not every situation suits trenchless methods — a fully collapsed line may need traditional excavation. A camera inspection determines which approach fits your pipe, so you get the least disruptive repair possible.
