Lining uses the existing pipe path
A liner forms a new interior surface, so the host pipe's shape, cleanliness, transitions, and remaining structure affect suitability.
Bursting replaces the pipe path
Pipe bursting pulls replacement pipe through the existing alignment and commonly requires access at both ends.
Camera evidence comes first
Location, length, diameter, bends, collapses, and connections must be understood before a method is selected.
Surface savings are site-specific
Utilities, depth, landscaping, structures, and connection points determine how much excavation can actually be avoided.
Questions specific to this resource
trenchless sewer repair FAQ
Is every damaged sewer eligible for lining?
No. Collapses, severe deformation, missing pipe, transitions, and access limitations can rule out or complicate lining.
Can you prepare a bid without a visit?
Some bids can begin from adequate inspection information; a short site visit may be needed to confirm material, depth, utilities, or access.
Does trenchless mean no digging?
Not always. It generally means reduced excavation, with access pits or connection work depending on the method and property.
