Nobody wants their yard torn apart. Trenchless technology lets us replace failing sewer lines without digging up your lawn, driveway, or landscaping. Pipe lining cures a brand-new pipe inside the old one, and pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through while breaking up the old. Both methods need only small access points, not a trench. We will explain which approach fits your situation.
Pipe Lining (CIPP, cured-in-place pipe): A flexible resin-saturated liner is inserted through your existing pipe and inflated. Heat or UV cures it into a hard, seamless new pipe inside the old. Best for pipes that are deteriorated but not collapsed, with original diameter intact. It slightly reduces the inside diameter, but the smooth, seamless wall usually keeps flow the same or better.
Pipe Bursting: A bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, fragmenting it outward into the surrounding soil while pulling a new HDPE pipe behind it. Best for badly cracked or collapsed pipe, or where you want a same-or-larger diameter replacement. More invasive than lining but works on pipes lining can't fix.
We camera-scope first to see which method fits your line. You can see the findings yourself with our video pipe inspection.
| Feature | Trenchless (Pipe Bursting / Lining) | Traditional Open Trench |
|---|---|---|
| Yard / driveway impact | Small access points only, landscape preserved | Full excavation along entire line: driveway, lawn, fencing all dug up |
| Installation time | Usually shorter | Usually longer |
| Material | HDPE (bursting) or epoxy liner (CIPP) | PVC or ABS |
| New pipe lifespan | 50+ years | 50+ years |
| Disruption to home | Minimal. Water stays on; drains are out of use only while the work is done | Significant: yard work, possible utility relocation |
| Best for | Most residential sewer replacements with intact access | Belly sections and full reroutes |
| Restoration cost | Negligible (only small access points) | Significant landscape and hardscape repair |

They made a appt. And tech was on time for a estimate. Appreciate the effort will hold on to their # first call.Second call....main sewer 😬 John answered our call and sent out the A-team. Freddie his main worker explained what needed to be done and did not…
Matthew Perez did a good job accessing the potential problems. He snaked the drain, removed my 50 year old toilet and installed a new toilet, supply line and 1/4 angle stop. The work was accomplished professionally and to my satisfaction
