FAQs
What is trenchless pipe repair and how does it differ from traditional excavation?
Trenchless pipe repair is a set of technologies—such as pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining—that allow us to rehabilitate or replace underground sewer and water lines without digging long open trenches. Instead, we access the pipe through small entry and exit pits, insert specialized equipment, and repair or replace the line from the inside. This method eliminates most of the surface disruption, reduces restoration costs, shortens project timelines, and preserves landscaping, parking lots, and slabs—advantages that traditional excavation simply can’t match.
Which commercial properties in Jefferson City can benefit from trenchless solutions?
Almost any commercial site with buried piping can take advantage of trenchless technology, including office buildings, retail centers, restaurants, hospitals, schools, industrial plants, and multi-family complexes. Whether you have 2-inch grease lines or 24-inch storm drains, our equipment is scalable, and Jefferson City’s varied soil conditions are well within our operating parameters.
How long does a typical trenchless pipe rehabilitation project take?
While every job is unique, most commercial lateral or mainline projects in Jefferson City are completed in one to three days, including setup and curing time. A comparable dig-and-replace job could take a week or more. Larger diameter mains may require additional curing or bursting runs, but we almost always finish within the same week, minimizing downtime for your facility.
Will trenchless work disrupt my business operations?
Disruption is minimal. Because we don’t excavate long trenches, parking lots remain open, landscaping stays intact, and interior floors are rarely disturbed. We schedule critical tie-ins during off-hours when possible, provide temporary bypass pumping to keep restrooms and sinks operational, and coordinate closely with facility managers to ensure staff and customer safety. Many clients continue normal operations throughout the project.
Are trenchless repairs more expensive than conventional plumbing methods?
Up-front costs for trenchless materials can be slightly higher, but the total project cost is often lower once you factor in site restoration, concrete or asphalt replacement, landscape repair, traffic control, and lost revenue from downtime. In Jefferson City we frequently see savings of 15–40 % versus traditional excavation, especially on properties with extensive hardscape or limited access.
Do I need permits for trenchless pipe work in Jefferson City, and who handles them?
Yes. Jefferson City requires permits for any work on public right-of-way and for alterations to building drains that connect to the municipal sewer. Our team handles the entire permitting process, including submitting engineering drawings, communicating with the city’s Public Works and Building Regulations divisions, arranging inspections, and providing post-project CCTV footage as required. You receive a turnkey solution without administrative headaches.
