Trenchless Sewer Lining/Repair
Trenchless sewer lining is a modern way to repair damaged sewer pipes without digging up your yard, floors, or parking lot. Using CIPP (Cured-In-Place Pipe) technology, we create a new pipe inside your existing one—sealing cracks, stopping leaks, and restoring flow.
It’s a long-lasting solution for aging, cracked, or root-damaged sewer lines and is often completed in one or two days.
When Do You Need Trenchless Sewer Lining?
You may be a good candidate for trenchless sewer lining/repair if you’re dealing with:
Cracked, broken, or offset sewer pipes
Frequent sewer backups or slow drains
Tree root intrusion
Old clay, cast iron, or deteriorating pipes
Sewer issues under a home, driveway, sidewalk, or commercial building
If you’ve been told you need a full sewer replacement, trenchless lining may be a less disruptive alternative.
