What Can we Do For You

  Trenchless Sewer Line  

What if I need to replace my sewer line?

Well, maybe a trenchless sewer replacment is right for you.

HOW DOES TRENCHLESS WORK?

Step 1)

  • Excavate two holes, one on each end of the sewer line that is to be replaced.

Step 2)

  • Attach the pipe bursting head to the complete bonded length of the new sewer pipe.

Step 3)

  • Put the trenchless machine in place and hookup the pipe bursting head to the machine via a steel cable.

Step 4)

  • Pull the new pipe through the old pipe and complete the necessary connections to the sewer system.

this helps keep precious landscaping intact!

Trenchless removes the need to dig up the whole yard.

Trenchless sewer replacement does have it’s limitations.

The new trenchless pipe follows the exact path of the old sewer line so there are situations where it is not the correct solution.

  • If there are any low spots (aka bellies) in the current sewer line.

  • If there isn’t enough elevation drop across the length of the sewer line for proper flow.

  • If there isn’t proper access to pull the whole length of pipe through.

Still…

“Trenchless isn’t always the right application, BUT when it is, it is always the BEST application.”
