Before advanced in-pipe camera technology was developed, plumbers were forced to dig up the entire yard in search of the damaged portion of your sewer line. Luckily, that outdated service is no longer necessary thanks to high-resolution plumbing camera equipment. Trenchless sewer repair is a non-invasive pipe repair service.

The trenchless sewer repair process is often quick and easy. Below are the two common methods used to repair sewer lines:

• Pipe lining: During this process, a plumber inserts a deflated balloon saturated in epoxy resin into the pipe, lines it up with the broken section of pipe, inflates it, and waits for the resin to cure. Once cured, the resin forms a new section of durable pipe.
• Pipe bursting: This process involves inserting a rod with bursting blades and an extender into the pipes until it reaches the damaged area. Then, the rod is slowly pulled out from the pipe while the bursting blades are activated to destroy the broken section. As soon as the blades break the pipe down, the extender is used to push the pieces into the surrounding soil. Then the new pipe is attached to the extender and installed in the space where the old pipe previously was.
