Trenchless sewer repair allows damaged sewer lines to be repaired or replaced without digging up large sections of a yard, driveway, or sidewalk. Instead of exposing the entire pipe, trenchless methods typically require only one or two small access points to reach the sewer line.
Traditional sewer repair involves excavating the ground above the damaged pipe so it can be removed and replaced. While this approach is sometimes necessary, it can be disruptive and may require additional restoration work after the repair is complete.
Trenchless techniques, such as pipe lining and pipe bursting, repair the sewer line underground by creating a new pipe inside the existing one or replacing it along the same path. For Denver-area homeowners, trenchless sewer repair is often preferred when conditions allow because it reduces disruption, shortens repair timelines, and helps preserve landscaping and hardscaping. A sewer camera inspection is typically used to determine which repair method is most appropriate.
