Quick Answer

Trenchless sewer repair can reduce excavation and restore service with less disruption, but it requires the line to be a good candidate. Traditional excavation is sometimes necessary when the line is collapsed, misaligned, or inaccessible for trenchless methods.

Start with inspection

A sewer camera inspection clarifies the cause: roots, offsets, breaks, scale, or collapse.

When trenchless is a great fit

• Localized damage with a viable host pipe
• You want minimal landscape disruption
• Long runs under concrete or hardscape
  

When excavation may be necessary

• Collapsed or severely misaligned pipe
• Major section replacement needed
• Access limitations prevent trenchless equipment
