During trenchless sewer repair, expect minimal excavation, as the process is designed to fix pipes internally. Technicians may dig small access holes at either end of the sewer line. The repair, often completed in a day, involves inserting a liner or epoxy coating the old pipe. After, you’ll notice little to no landscape disruption, unlike traditional methods. Post-repair, a follow-up inspection usually confirms the integrity of the repair. The quick, efficient process results in a durable, seamless pipe with a lifespan comparable to new pipes, with minimal impact on your property.

Trenchless sewer repair is highly versatile but not suitable for all types of pipe damage. It’s effective for repairing leaks, cracks, and breaks, addressing root intrusion, and upgrading old or corroded pipes. However, its suitability depends on the extent and nature of the damage, the pipe’s material, and its configuration. Severely collapsed pipes or those with extensive structural damage may not be candidates for trenchless repair. Additionally, very sharp bends or junctions in the piping might pose challenges. A professional assessment is necessary to determine if trenchless methods can be applied effectively to a specific situation, as technological advancements continue to expand the range of issues trenchless repair can address.
