Traditional sewer repair means a trench through your lawn, driveway, or basement floor, then paying to put it all back. No-dig trenchless repair reaches the pipe from a small access point, fixes the damaged section from the inside, and is usually finished in a day. Our certified technicians inspect first with a sewer camera, so you see the problem before you pay for the fix.
How Trenchless Pipe Repair and Sewer Lining Work
Trenchless sewer repair methods typically involve inspecting the existing pipe with our sewer cameras. If your sewers have obstructions or roots, we can blast them away with hydro-jetting tools. Once we clear everything out, we can start repairing your pipes.
The most common forms of trenchless sewer line repair include trenchless pipe lining and point repairs. Pipelining requires inserting a pipe liner inside the old piping through a small access hole and threading it through the existing pipe. We then inflate the liner so that it presses against the host pipe, effectively creating a new pipe inside the old one.
Point repair is suitable for various piping materials like PVC, cast iron, and clay, allowing for precise structural repairs. This method is ideal for areas with underground transitions and for fixing large gaps and cracks. It provides versatile and accurate repair options, accommodating different pipe lengths and diameters, including elbow repairs. We conduct these repairs, as these are quick, with ambient curing in as little as one hour, enhancing structural integrity and providing corrosion resistance. This non-invasive solution is applicable in sanitary systems, storm drains, and industrial pipes, ensuring minimal disruption and extended pipe lifespan.
Both methods work well at fixing various sewer line problems. Contact us to learn more about the most effective option for your situation. Our plumbers will thoroughly inspect your plumbing system, explain the issues, and recommend the most cost-effective solution.
Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
Trenchless sewer repair and sewer lining offer many benefits over traditional sewer repairs.

The Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair and Sewer Lining
In the past, the only way to fix damaged sewer pipes was to dig up the entire length of the pipe to replace it. This process, called “trenching,” is not only disruptive and costly, but it can also damage your property.
Thanks to modern technology, we can bypass the need for trenching altogether while still providing a permanent fix for your sewer pipe. With trenchless pipe repair services, you can say goodbye to dug-up yards and driveways!

FAQs About Trenchless Pipe Repairs
Trenchless pipe repair is a method of repairing underground pipes without the need for extensive excavation. It involves using specialized equipment and techniques to access and repair the pipe from the inside, minimizing disruption to the surrounding area.
Trenchless pipe repair is necessary when traditional excavation methods are impractical or too disruptive. It's often used to repair pipes located under buildings, driveways, or landscaping where excavation would be costly or inconvenient.
Trenchless pipe repair can be used on a variety of pipe materials, including clay, cast iron, PVC, and concrete. It's suitable for repairing pipes with cracks, leaks, corrosion, or other issues without the need for full replacement.
The duration of trenchless pipe repair depends on factors such as the length and condition of the pipe, as well as the specific repair method used. In many cases, trenchless repairs can be completed more quickly than traditional excavation methods, reducing downtime and inconvenience for the property owner.
While the initial cost of trenchless pipe repair may be higher than traditional excavation methods, it often offers cost savings in the long run. Trenchless repairs require less labor and equipment, and they minimize disruption to the property, resulting in lower overall costs and faster completion times.
It depends on the length, depth, and condition of the pipe, and whether a spot repair or a full liner is the right fix. Trenchless is usually the lower total cost once you count what excavation destroys — landscaping, concrete, flooring — and the days of restoration afterward. We quote a firm price after a camera inspection, and financing is available.
Yes. We cut and hydro-jet the roots out first, then line or point-repair the cracked joints the roots grew through. Because the new liner has no joints, roots have nowhere to re-enter — it is the permanent fix for recurring root blockages.
Yes. Summit County is a core part of our service area, along with Portage, Geauga, and eastern Cuyahoga counties. Call (330) 626-5551 and we will schedule a camera inspection.
If the pipe still holds its shape, it can almost always be lined or point-repaired. If sections have collapsed, back-pitched, or been crushed, those sections need to be replaced — sometimes trenchlessly with pipe bursting, sometimes by excavation. The camera inspection tells us which, and we will show you the footage.
