Think of trenchless pipe repair as surgery for your pipes. We fix them from the inside out. Instead of digging up your entire yard, we use existing access points to reach damaged pipes and repair them using specialized equipment and materials.
Every trenchless repair project begins with comprehensive sewer camera inspection to accurately diagnose pipe conditions, measure dimensions, and create a detailed repair plan tailored to your specific plumbing system.
This popular method creates a brand-new pipe inside your damaged one. We insert a resin-saturated fiberglass liner that hardens to form a smooth, jointless pipe. It’s perfect for fixing cracks, root intrusion, and corrosion without digging.
When pipes are beyond repair, we use pipe bursting to replace them completely. This technique breaks apart your old pipe while simultaneously pulling new pipe into place. All from existing access points.
For pipes with minor damage, slip lining inserts a smaller diameter pipe inside the existing one. It’s a cost-effective solution that adds decades of life to your pipe system.
Similar to CIPP, pipe relining uses different materials and techniques depending on your specific needs. We select the best approach based on pipe material, damage type, and local soil conditions.
Directional Boring
When new pipe installation is needed, directional boring creates precise underground pathways without surface disruption. It’s ideal for installing pipes under driveways, sidewalks, or landscaped areas.
We’re not just another plumbing company. We’re trenchless specialists with years of experience using the latest lining systems and underground repair technology. Our team understands the unique challenges of Gulf South soil conditions and climate.
While trenchless repair addresses structural pipe issues, ongoing residential drain cleaning helps maintain your newly repaired lines and prevents the buildup that can lead to future problems.
Most residential trenchless repairs complete within one business day. Simple CIPP lining jobs often finish in 4-6 hours, while more complex pipe bursting projects may take 8-10 hours. The exact timeline depends on pipe length, access points, and the specific repair method needed.
Yes, trenchless repair can be performed in most weather conditions since the work happens underground. However, extreme weather may affect curing times for certain materials. We’ll adjust our process as needed to ensure optimal results regardless of conditions.
Properly executed trenchless repairs typically maintain or improve water flow. CIPP lining creates smooth interior surfaces that can actually increase flow capacity, while pipe bursting often installs larger diameter pipes for better performance.
Our comprehensive video inspection reveals pipe condition, damage extent, and structural integrity. Pipes with localized damage, root intrusion, or corrosion are often perfect for trenchless repair, while severely collapsed or shifted pipes may need replacement using pipe bursting methods.
Most pipes are candidates for trenchless repair, but severely collapsed pipes, pipes with major grade issues, or pipes in extremely poor condition may need traditional replacement. We’ll provide honest recommendations based on your specific situation.
CIPP lining repairs existing pipes by creating a new pipe inside the old one, while pipe bursting completely replaces damaged pipes. CIPP is less invasive and works well for structurally sound pipes with damage, while pipe bursting is ideal for pipes beyond repair.
Yes, we stand behind our work with comprehensive warranties. CIPP lining typically comes with 50+ year material warranties, and we provide workmanship guarantees on all our trenchless repair services.
For most trenchless repairs, you can resume normal plumbing use within hours of completion. CIPP lining may require a brief curing period, but we’ll provide specific guidelines based on your repair type and local conditions.
