Sewer repair methods

Lining or digging: the video decides.

We use the camera findings to recommend the repair that makes sense for the actual pipe, not the highest ticket.

Trenchless lining

New pipe inside the old one.

It is the low-disruption answer when the old pipe still has the shape a new liner needs.

Digging

When the line has sagged, collapsed, or lost its slope, new PVC in a trench is the honest fix.

“The video picks the method, not the price.”

Read straight across

The choice	Trenchless lining	Digging
How it works	We clean the pipe, pull a resin-soaked liner in from the cleanout, inflate it, and in a few hours it hardens into a new pipe inside the old one.	An excavator opens a trench from the house to the street connection and we lay new PVC.
Works when	The old pipe still holds its shape: roots, cracks, and offset joints up to about an inch.	The pipe has collapsed, has a belly, or the slope is wrong, because a liner follows the old pipe’s shape.
Time	One day.	Two to four days.
What gets dug up	Two small access points. The lawn, driveway, sidewalk, and the maple stay.	A trench through the lawn, plus a driveway or sidewalk cut if one is in the way.
Typical cost for a 40 to 80 foot line here	$7,500 to $14,000.	$6,000 to $16,000, plus concrete repair when needed.
Your trees	Lining leaves them alone.	A trench can cut roots the tree needs.
Warranty	10 years.	10 years.
Permits	We pull the city permit and any street permit.	We pull the city permit and any street permit.

“Rhonda stopped the video on the roots, pointed out the window at our maple, and said lining would save the driveway. It did.”
