What is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

Trenchless sewer line repair uses a “pipe bursting” method to successfully replace your sewer pipe without removing it from underground! The process is surprisingly simple and consists of these steps:

  1.  Video inspection and CIPP preparation

    First, we snake a fiber optic video inspection camera through your sewer pipe to discover what the problem is, where it’s located along your pipe, and where we can access it most easily. This inspection allows us to measure your pipe and prepare a “Cured In Place Pipe” or CIPP of the right size. CIPP is a quick-hardening, long-lasting polyethylene pipe liner that effectively replaces your existing pipe.

  2. Access point creation

    Next, we’ll create two small access points near the beginning and end of the damaged section of sewer pipe. We try to create these access points at the most shallow area possible, which is typically either in your basement or outside in your yard. These holes don’t need to be much wider than the pipe itself.

  3. Pipe bursting

    At this point, our experts insert a long cable with an expandable “bursting” head into the first access point. After inserting the bursting head into your sewer pipe, your plumbing team will expand it and push it forward. This action breaks apart the old, damaged pipe and pushes it out of the way to make way for the replacement pipe. The cable’s head can be safely extracted from the pipe by contracting it again and pushing it out of the second access point.

  4. CIPP Insertion

    As the bursting head moves through the damaged pipe, the cable follows its path forward. This cable drags the CIPP pipe liner along with it as if the pipe liner is a “sleeve” for the cable. The new polyethylene alternative pipe liner replaces the old pipe as the cable pushes it through. When the cable reaches the second access point, we simply extract it–while leaving the CIPP pipe liner behind. Once the cable is extracted, we’ve successfully replaced the damaged section of pipe with a new polyethylene sewer line sleeve.

  5. Curing and follow-up inspection

    After the CIPP liner is installed, it will take some time to cure into place. In the meantime, our experts will conduct a follow-up video inspection of the newly-repaired pipe. This video inspection allows us to make sure we placed the CIPP properly and that your new pipe cures according to schedule.
    When we’re done, we’ll have successfully replaced your damaged sewer pipe with a strong, durable polyethylene replacement that will perform for years to come. And your yard will remain intact and unturned.
