FAQs
What is trenchless sewer repair and how does it work?
Trenchless sewer repair is a modern method that fixes damaged sewer lines without extensive digging. Using technologies such as pipe lining (CIPP) or pipe bursting, we insert specialized equipment through small access points to rehabilitate or replace your existing pipe from the inside. This process restores full functionality with minimal disruption to your yard, driveway, or landscaping.
Why should I choose trenchless sewer repair over traditional excavation?
Trenchless methods are typically faster, less invasive, and more cost-effective in the long run. You avoid large trenches, extensive landscape restoration, and lengthy downtime. For most Corryton homeowners, the total project time is reduced from several days to just hours, and the repaired pipe often comes with a 50-year life expectancy.
How long does a trenchless sewer repair project usually take in Corryton?
Most residential trenchless repairs are completed in a single day. After an initial camera inspection and cleaning, the actual lining or bursting process can take 2–4 hours, followed by curing or final connections. Larger or more complex lines might require an additional day, but it is still significantly faster than traditional excavation.
Is trenchless sewer repair environmentally friendly?
Yes. Because trenchless technology requires little to no excavation, it preserves existing trees, landscaping, and hardscape. It also eliminates the need to haul away large amounts of soil and debris. Additionally, the epoxy resins and HDPE pipes we use are low-VOC and designed for long service life, reducing future resource consumption.
Will trenchless repair work on my old clay or cast-iron sewer line?
In most cases, yes. Trenchless lining bonds to virtually any host pipe material—clay, cast iron, PVC, or Orangeburg—provided the line still has some structural integrity. If the pipe has completely collapsed, pipe bursting can replace it with a brand-new HDPE line. Our technicians perform a video inspection first to determine the best solution for your specific pipe condition.
How much does trenchless sewer repair cost in the Corryton area?
Costs vary based on pipe length, diameter, depth, and the extent of damage, but most Corryton homeowners spend between $85 and $180 per linear foot. While this may seem higher than basic excavation costs, the savings on landscape restoration and reduced labor often make trenchless repair the more economical choice overall. We provide free, no-obligation quotes after an on-site camera inspection.
