Why Choose Trenchless Sewer Repair?
Traditional sewer line replacement requires heavy machinery to dig up your entire yard, leading to costly property restoration. Trenchless technology accesses your underground pipes through minimal access points to fix the issue from the inside out.
- Saves Your Landscaping: Protects your lawn, driveway, patio, and mature trees from major excavation.
- Cost-Effective: Eliminates the thousands of dollars typically required to repair ruined hardscaping or landscaping post-repair.
- Faster Turnaround: Most trenchless repair projects in Pimmit Hills are completed within a single day.
- Durable & Long-Lasting: Modern epoxy resins and high-density replacement pipes resist corrosion and root intrusion for 50+ years.
Our Trenchless Repair Solutions
Depending on the extent of pipe damage, our certified technicians utilize two industry-leading trenchless methods:
| Method | Best Used For | How It Works |
| Cured-In-Place Pipe (CIPP) Lining | Cracks, minor leaks, tree root damage, and joint gaps | An epoxy-soaked resin liner is inserted into the existing pipe, inflated, and cured into a seamless “pipe within a pipe.” |
| Trenchless Pipe Bursting | Severely collapsed, severely corroded, or crushed pipes | A specialized bursting head breaks apart the old, damaged pipe while simultaneously pulling a new, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe into place. |
Our 4-Step Trenchless Repair Process
- HD Video Camera Inspection: We insert a high-definition snaking camera into your line to locate the exact cause, depth, and location of the blockage or rupture.
- Line Cleaning & Preparation: We clear out tree roots, grease, and debris using hydro-jetting to ensure a smooth, clean surface for the new lining.
- Trenchless Installation: Using single-point access, we perform CIPP lining or pipe bursting without tearing up your property.
- Final Inspection & Quality Check: We run a final video camera inspection to guarantee proper flow, seamless sealing, and full structural integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is trenchless repair suitable for all sewer pipe damage?
While trenchless techniques resolve most residential sewer issues, pipes that are completely collapsed or improperly sloped (back-pitched) may still require targeted excavation. Our video camera inspection will determine if your system is a candidate.

CIPP liners and HDPE replacement pipes are designed to resist root intrusion, rust, and chemical corrosion, carrying a lifespan of 50 years or more.
