How Trenchless Sewer Replacement Works (And Why It’s a Game-Changer)

If you’ve ever heard horror stories about torn-up lawns, jackhammered driveways, and weeks of disruption just to replace a sewer line—you’re not alone. But thanks to trenchless sewer replacement, those days are quickly becoming a thing of the past.

At Chad’s Water Works, we’re proud to offer Sewer Repair and Replacement services that minimize mess, save time, and protect your property. Here’s everything you need to know about this modern solution—and why it’s a total game-changer.


🚧 What Is Trenchless Sewer Replacement?

Trenchless sewer replacement is a method of replacing damaged sewer lines without digging a large trench across your yard or property. Instead of excavating the entire length of the old pipe, we use advanced equipment to either pull a new pipe through the existing one or install a liner that seals and reinforces the old pipe from the inside.

There are two main types of trenchless technology:

1. Pipe Bursting

This involves breaking the old pipe apart while simultaneously pulling a new, durable pipe into its place.

2. Pipe Lining (CIPP – Cured-in-Place Pipe)

In this method, we insert a flexible liner coated with resin into the damaged pipe. Once in place, it’s inflated and cured, creating a seamless, joint-free pipe within the existing one.


🏠 Why Homeowners Love It

✅ Minimal Property Damage

No need to tear up driveways, landscaping, or patios. Trenchless methods require only a few small access points—keeping your yard intact.

✅ Faster Completion Time

Traditional sewer replacement can take days or even weeks. Trenchless sewer work is typically completed in a day or two, depending on the scope.

✅ Long-Lasting Materials

The new pipes used in trenchless methods are often stronger and more corrosion-resistant than traditional materials—lasting 50 years or more.

✅ Cost-Effective

While the initial price might seem similar to traditional digging methods, you save big on restoration costs like replanting grass, fixing driveways, or redoing landscaping.


🔍 Is Trenchless Right for Your Home?

Not all sewer problems qualify for trenchless methods, but many do. It’s ideal for situations like:

  • Cracked or corroded pipes
  • Root intrusion
  • Leaks or backups
  • Minor pipe misalignment

We’ll start with a video plumbing inspection to evaluate the condition of your pipes and recommend the best, most cost-effective solution.
