🔎 What Is Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement?

Trenchless sewer replacement is a modern plumbing method that replaces damaged sewer pipes without extensive digging. Instead of excavating your entire yard, small access points are used to insert a new pipe through the existing one or burst the old pipe and replace it with a new, durable one.

🚀 This technology is faster, cleaner, and more cost-effective than traditional sewer repair!

✔ Minimal Digging – No destroyed landscaping or driveways.

✔ Faster Installation – Most jobs completed in a day!

✔ Durable Materials – New pipes last 50+ years.

✔ Cost-Effective – Reduces labor and restoration costs.

🛠️ How Does Trenchless Sewer Replacement Work?

Trenchless technology uses two primary methods to replace a damaged sewer line:

✅ 1. Pipe Bursting (Best for Severely Damaged Pipes)

✔ A new, high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe is pulled through the old pipe.

✔ A bursting head breaks apart the damaged pipe while pulling the new one into place.

✔ Creates a seamless, leak-free, and highly durable new sewer line.

✅ 2. Pipe Lining (Cured-in-Place Pipe or CIPP – Best for Minor Damage)

✔ A flexible epoxy-saturated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe.

✔ It hardens inside the existing pipe, creating a strong, corrosion-resistant new pipe within the old one.

✔ Ideal for small cracks, leaks, and minor structural damage.

🚨 Both methods extend the life of your sewer system without the need for disruptive excavation!

💩 When Do You Need Trenchless Sewer Line Replacement?

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, your sewer line may need replacement:

❌ Sewage Smells Around Your Property – A clear sign of a cracked or leaking sewer line.

❌ Slow Drains in Multiple Fixtures – Could mean your main sewer line is deteriorating.

❌ Lush, Wet, or Sunken Patches in Your Yard – Sewage leaks fertilize grass and create soggy spots.
