Sewer Line Repair & Trenchless Replacement

Fix the sewer line — not your whole yard.

Sewer Line Repair & Trenchless Replacement

What's Included

Backups, slow drains throughout the house, and soggy patches in the yard are classic signs of a damaged sewer lateral. We start with a camera inspection to see exactly what's wrong, then recommend the least invasive fix — often trenchless pipe bursting or lining that replaces the line through small access pits instead of a full-length trench.

  • Video camera sewer line inspection and root cause diagnosis
  • Trenchless pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining
  • Traditional open-trench excavation when it's the better fit
  • Root intrusion removal and hydro-jetting
  • Landscape and driveway protection during excavation
  • Municipal permit coordination where required

FAQ

Sewer Line Repair & Trenchless Replacement — FAQ

How do I know if I need a sewer line repair?

Multiple slow drains at once, gurgling toilets, sewage odors in the yard, and recurring backups are all signs of a lateral sewer line problem rather than a simple clogged drain.

What is trenchless sewer repair?

It's a method that replaces or relines a damaged pipe through one or two small access pits instead of digging up the entire line — saving your landscaping, driveway, or patio.

Is trenchless repair always possible?

In most cases, yes, but severe pipe collapse, shallow depth, or line rerouting can require traditional excavation. We'll confirm the right approach after the camera inspection.
