FAQs
What is trenchless sewer line repair and how does it work?
Trenchless repair is a modern plumbing method that fixes or replaces underground main sewer lines without digging long, open trenches. In Allardt, we typically use two techniques: 1) Cured-in-Place Pipe (CIPP) lining, where a flexible resin-soaked liner is inserted into the existing pipe and hardened to create a joint-free, watertight new pipe inside the old one; and 2) pipe bursting, where a bursting head breaks apart the damaged pipe while simultaneously pulling in a new high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe. Both options require only small access pits, preserve your property, and restore full flow capacity.
Why choose trenchless technology for main line issues in Allardt?
Allardt’s soil conditions, mature trees, and established landscaping make traditional excavation disruptive and costly. Trenchless technology eliminates most surface damage, shortens project time, and reduces overall neighborhood disturbance. Because we avoid heavy digging, there is less risk of damaging roots, sidewalks, or utilities. Homeowners also benefit from longer-lasting pipe materials—CIPP liners and HDPE pipes are corrosion-resistant and have life expectancies of 50+ years.
How long does a typical trenchless main line repair take?
Most residential trenchless repairs in Allardt are completed in one day. Initial camera inspection and cleaning generally take a few hours, followed by 2–4 hours for pipe bursting or CIPP lining. The curing or fusion process may add another 2–3 hours, but you can usually resume normal water use the same evening. Larger commercial or multi-segment projects may require an additional day for staging and testing.
Will trenchless repair disrupt my yard, landscaping, or driveway?
Very little. We dig one or two small access pits—each roughly 3'×3'—near the building and the city tap. All other work occurs underground. Your lawn, flower beds, and hardscapes stay intact, and we refill and tamp the access pits when finished. Compared to conventional trenching, which can leave a 30-foot scar and destroy concrete or pavement, trenchless methods typically need no post-repair landscape restoration.
Is trenchless repair more expensive than traditional excavation?
The upfront price per linear foot can be 10–20% higher than open-cut digging, but total project cost is often lower once you factor in landscape restoration, driveway or sidewalk replacement, and the extra labor needed for large trenches. In Allardt, many customers save $1,000–$3,000 overall because trenchless eliminates these secondary expenses and shortens downtime.
What signs indicate I may need trenchless main line repair, and how do I schedule service in Allardt?
