If you have been told your sewer line needs to be replaced, you may be picturing an excavator in your front yard for days. For many homes, that is no longer necessary. Trenchless sewer repair replaces or rehabilitates the pipe underground, through small access points at each end.

We offer trenchless sewer repair with pipe bursting and pipe lining, using our own trenchless equipment. That means one team handles the camera inspection, the repair and the cleanup, and you have one company to call with any question.

Pipe bursting for broken pipe

Pipe bursting is a good choice when the existing pipe is cracked, broken or full of roots. A bursting head is pulled through the old line, splitting it outward, while a new seamless pipe follows directly behind. The result is a brand new sewer line in the same path, with no joints for roots to find.

Pipe lining for pipe that still holds its shape

If the old pipe is cracked but still round, lining can be a cost-effective option. A flexible liner soaked in resin is inserted into the pipe and cured in place. It creates a smooth new pipe inside the old one and seals the cracks and joints.

Making the right choice for your line

There are several things to consider when choosing a method, including the pipe material, the number of bends, and whether the line has sagged. We base our recommendation on the camera footage and explain it in plain language. If part of the line needs an open repair, we tell you before you sign anything.

Less mess and a faster finish

Trenchless repair usually means less restoration, a shorter schedule and far less disruption to your property. Reach out to our team to book a camera inspection and get a written quote for your line.

Know the signs

When trenchless sewer repair is a good fit

  • Camera footage shows cracks, roots or joint separation along the line
  • The line runs under a driveway, walkway, deck or mature tree
  • You want the work finished quickly with minimal restoration
  • Drain cleaning keeps clearing roots that grow back through the same joints
  • The pipe is clay or cast iron that has deteriorated over time

Our approach

Our trenchless methods

Pipe bursting

A bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, breaking it outward while a new seamless pipe is pulled in behind it. It works well for clay and cracked pipe.

Pipe lining

A resin-saturated liner is inserted into the existing pipe and cured in place, creating a new pipe inside the old one without excavation along the route.

Camera before and after

We record the line before the work and again after, so you can see the result and keep the footage for your records.

Choosing the right method

Not every line suits every method. Severe sags or collapsed sections may need open repair, and we explain that before we quote.

  3. Permits booked

    We pull the plumbing or building permit and book the inspections with your municipality.

    Where the ground allows, we use trenchless methods to replace pipe through small access pits.

  5. Restoration

    We backfill, compact and tidy the site. Any concrete, sod or finish restoration is listed line by line in your quote.

FAQ

Trenchless Sewer Repair questions

Straight answers to the questions homeowners ask us most. If yours is not here, give us a call.

What is the difference between pipe bursting and pipe lining?

Pipe bursting replaces the old pipe with a new one pulled through the same path. Lining creates a new pipe inside the old one. Bursting suits badly broken pipe, while lining suits pipe that still holds its shape.

How much digging does trenchless sewer repair need?

Usually one access point near the house and one near the property line. Everything between those points stays undisturbed.

Can a sagging sewer line be fixed trenchless?

A liner follows the shape of the existing pipe, so it does not correct a sag. Pipe bursting can sometimes improve grade, but a severe belly may need a short open repair.

Does trenchless repair qualify for a rebate?

In Halton Region, lateral lining or repair qualifies for 50% of the cost up to $4,000. We note any rebate that applies in your estimate.
