What is trenchless sewer repair?

Trenchless methods repair or replace the sewer lateral without digging up your yard. CIPP (cured-in-place pipe) lining installs a new pipe inside the old one; pipe bursting replaces the old pipe by pulling a new one through the ground. Trenchless is faster and less disruptive when the pipe is accessible.

How long does sewer line repair take?

A spot repair takes 1–4 hours. Pipe lining takes a full day. Open-cut replacement of a full lateral takes 1–3 days depending on depth and length. We give you a realistic timeline after camera inspection.

Does homeowner's insurance cover sewer line repair?

Most standard policies don't cover sewer lateral repair — it's typically considered the homeowner's responsibility from house to the city main. Some policies include a sewer line rider. Check your policy; we can provide documentation for insurance claims when coverage applies.

Do you need to dig up the yard for sewer line repair?

Not always. Trenchless methods (lining or pipe bursting) can repair or replace the lateral with minimal excavation — often just cleanout access points. Open-cut is required for collapsed pipes, severe offset joints, or when access prevents trenchless methods.
