Trenchless Sewer Repair vs. Traditional Excavation
- Traditional sewer repair often requires digging a long trench to expose and replace the damaged pipe.
- Trenchless sewer repair is designed to reduce excavation by using small access points, existing cleanouts, or targeted openings to repair or replace the line.
This can help protect landscaping, concrete, driveways, patios, and other parts of your property while still providing a durable sewer line solution.
Trenchless repairs we offer are:
Pipe Lining / CIPP
Cured-in-place pipe lining uses a resin-coated liner that is inserted into the existing pipe and cured to create a strong new pipe surface inside the old line. This is often a good option for cracks, corrosion, small separations, and root-damaged lines that still have enough structure to support a liner.
Pipe Bursting
Pipe bursting is used when the existing sewer line needs to be replaced rather than lined. A new pipe is pulled through the damaged line while the old pipe is broken apart underground, reducing the need for full trench excavation.
UV Lining
UV lining uses ultraviolet light to cure the liner after it is positioned inside the pipe. This can provide a controlled, efficient curing process for suitable sewer line repairs.
Spray Lining and Epoxy Brush Coating
Spray lining and epoxy brush coating can help seal and reinforce certain pipe surfaces from the inside. These options may be useful for localized corrosion, small cracks, and interior pipe wear, depending on the pipe condition.
Signs That Trenchless Repair is in Order
- Multiple drains backing up at the same time
- Toilets that gurgle, bubble, or struggle to flush
- Sewage odors inside the home or outside in the yard
- Slow drains throughout the property
- Water or sewage backing up into tubs, showers, or floor drains
- Soggy, sunken, or unusually green patches in the yard
- Recurring clogs after drain cleaning
- Cracks, corrosion, root intrusion, or pipe separation found during camera inspection
Sewer Camera Inspection Before Trenchless Repair
Before recommending trenchless sewer repair, EJ Plumbing can inspect the line with a waterproof sewer camera.
This helps identify the exact location and cause of the problem, including roots, cracks, corrosion, pipe separation, bellied pipe sections, or collapsed areas.
A camera inspection allows our plumbers to determine whether pipe lining, pipe bursting, spot repair, hydro jetting, or another solution is the best fit.

The Importance of Our Trenchless Services
Our trenchless pipe replacement services provide a way for us to make necessary repairs to a damaged line without the need for expensive, destructive excavation at the ground surface. This means that your grass, landscaping, and pavement will be left undisturbed when the job is through.
A Look at The Trenchless Repair Process
When you hire us for trenchless sewer replacement or repair, you can expect our personnel to conduct a complete investigation of the line to determine the location and extent of any problems. We'll then utilize a valve or connection point to insert a new liner directly into the existing pipe. After the liner cures to full strength, the pipe can be returned to use.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long do trenchless repairs generally take?
In most cases, we can perform our trenchless relining work in just a few hours.
What is the new pipe liner made of?
The liners that we install during any trenchless pipe repair project are made from flexible fabric that has been coated with a durable epoxy resin.
Is relining a viable solution to all sewer line problems?
Pipe lining is a great solution for cracking, corrosion, and other minor issues, but it won't fix a pipe that has been completely crushed or experienced significant settling.
