Our Trenchless Methods: How We Fix Your Pipes

So, how does it work? We primarily use two fantastic, industry-leading techniques. The best one for you depends on the condition of your existing pipes.

Pipe Bursting: A Powerful Replacement

This method is exactly what it sounds like. If your old sewer line is too damaged to repair, we use a powerful hydraulic system to pull a brand-new, seamless pipe right through the old one. As the new pipe moves forward, it breaks apart the old, damaged pipe and pushes the pieces away into the surrounding soil. You’re left with a brand-new, super-durable pipe that can last for decades. It's an amazing process to watch.

• Best for: Pipes that are collapsed, severely cracked, or have heavy root intrusion.
• Result: A completely new, larger-diameter pipe.
• Benefit: Increases flow capacity and is incredibly long-lasting.

CIPP Lining: A Seamless Pipe-Within-A-Pipe

CIPP stands for Cured-In-Place Pipe. This is our go-to for pipes that are still structurally sound but have cracks, leaks, or root intrusion. We start by cleaning out the old pipe. Then, we insert a flexible, resin-saturated liner into it. Once it's in place, we inflate it and use heat or UV light to cure the resin, hardening it into a brand-new, solid pipe right inside the old one. It’s smooth, seamless, and tough as nails.

• Best for: Pipes with leaks, cracks, or gaps.
• Result: A brand new, joint-free pipe inside the existing one.
• Benefit: Very little disruption and restores the pipe to better-than-new condition.

Let's Talk About Costs

Often, the first question people ask is, "What will this cost?" That’s a fair question! While trenchless repair is often more cost-effective than digging, the final price depends on a few things. Factors that influence cost include the length and diameter of the pipe, the specific trenchless method we use, and how easy it is to access the pipe.
