FAQs
What is trenchless sewer line repair, and how does it work?
Trenchless repair is a modern technique that restores damaged or deteriorated sewer mains without digging a long, open trench through your property. In Grandview we typically use two methods: pipe lining and pipe bursting. Pipe lining involves inserting a resin-soaked liner into the existing pipe; once cured, it forms a new, structurally sound pipe inside the old one. Pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE pipe through the old line while a bursting head fractures the damaged pipe outward. Both options rely on small access points at either end of the run, sparing your lawn, driveway, and landscaping from major disruption.
What types of main line problems can be fixed with trenchless methods?
Most issues that affect Grandview sewer mains can be handled trenchlessly, including root intrusion, cracks, offset joints, moderate collapse, corrosion, and age-related leaks. As long as the line still has a passable path from the building to the city tap, we can usually rehabilitate or replace it without full excavation. A video inspection lets us confirm suitability and choose the best technique.
Will trenchless repair damage my yard, driveway, or landscaping?
Very little. Because the process uses existing clean-outs or two small entry pits (each roughly 3–4 feet), you avoid the 30- to 100-foot trench required by traditional dig-and-replace. Your trees, flower beds, patios, stamped-concrete driveway, and sprinkler lines stay intact, saving you thousands in restoration costs and weeks of post-project cleanup.
How long does a trenchless main line repair take compared to traditional excavation?
In most Grandview homes we can complete a trenchless lining or pipe-bursting job in one working day, including set-up, cleaning, installation, and cure time. Traditional excavation often requires two to five days, plus added time for backfilling, compaction, and surface restoration. Faster completion means less disruption to your household and quicker return of full sewer service.
Is trenchless sewer repair more expensive than digging up the pipe?
The upfront price of trenchless technology is sometimes 10–20 percent higher than basic dig-and-replace, but overall it is usually the better value. You avoid landscape restoration, driveway repaving, retaining-wall rebuilding, and permit-related street repair—all of which can add thousands to an excavated job. When those hidden costs are included, trenchless repairs are often equal in price or even less expensive while providing a new, seamless pipe with a 50-year life expectancy.
