FAQs
What is trenchless main line repair and how does it work?
Trenchless main line repair is a modern plumbing technique that fixes or replaces underground sewer or water pipes without digging a long trench through your yard, driveway, or sidewalk. After a video camera inspection pinpoints the exact problem, we create one or two small access points. Depending on the situation, we either pull a new HDPE pipe through the old line (pipe bursting) or insert an epoxy-soaked liner that cures into a seamless pipe within the existing host pipe (cured-in-place pipe lining). Both methods restore full flow capacity and structural strength while leaving the surface virtually untouched.
What kinds of main line issues can be fixed using trenchless methods?
Trenchless technology can solve most problems found in Evensville sewer and water mains, including root intrusions, cracked or collapsed clay, cast-iron, or PVC pipes, offset joints, corrosion or scale buildup, and minor bellies. We can even upsize undersized lines to improve capacity. The only limitations are lines that have completely disintegrated or lack sufficient structural integrity to serve as a guide for the new pipe; a free camera inspection lets us confirm whether trenchless is feasible for your property.
Will trenchless repair damage my yard, landscaping, or hardscape?
Very little. Because we only need small entry and exit pits—usually 3-4 ft² each—your lawn, gardens, trees, patios, and driveways remain practically undisturbed. Heavy excavation equipment is not required, so there’s no risk of rutting your turf or cracking concrete slabs. After the repair, we backfill the pits, compact the soil, and, if desired, reseed or patch the area, leaving your property looking almost exactly as it did before we arrived.
How long does a trenchless main line repair take in Evensville?
Most projects are finished the same day. A typical timeline is: morning camera inspection and line cleaning; midday pipe bursting or lining (1–3 hours of actual pipe replacement); and late-afternoon curing, reconnection, and final inspection. Even complex jobs rarely exceed two days, meaning minimal disruption to your household routines and quick restoration of full plumbing service.
Is trenchless main line repair more expensive than traditional dig-and-replace methods?
The upfront cost is often comparable and sometimes slightly higher, but trenchless repair frequently saves money overall. Traditional excavation requires restoring landscaping, sidewalks, driveways, and sometimes retaining walls or decks—expenses that often exceed the plumbing bill. Trenchless avoids these add-on costs and delivers a new, seamless pipe with a 50-year life expectancy, giving you better value and peace of mind.
Do you provide warranties and handle permits for trenchless repairs in Evensville?
Yes. Every trenchless main line we install comes with a transferable 10-year labor warranty and a manufacturer’s 50-year material warranty. Evensville requires a plumbing and right-of-way permit for main line work; our licensed technicians take care of all permitting, inspections, and documentation so you stay fully code-compliant without the paperwork headache.
