Trenchless sewer repair is a modern method of fixing damaged sewer pipes without large-scale excavation. Repairs are completed through small access points instead of digging long trenches across yards or driveways.
The two main trenchless methods are pipe lining and pipe bursting. Pipe lining creates a new pipe inside the existing one. Pipe bursting replaces the pipe by breaking the old line while pulling a new one through.
Trenchless repair is not suitable for every situation. A sewer camera inspection is required to confirm whether the pipe condition allows for this approach
