Yes — most broken sewer lines can be repaired without digging up your yard using trenchless techniques like pipe lining or pipe bursting. Both methods need only two small access points — one near the house and one near the city tap — leaving most landscaping, driveways, and concrete untouched.
Trenchless options
- Pipe lining (CIPP) — A resin-saturated sleeve is pulled into the existing pipe and cured in place, forming a brand-new pipe inside the old one
- Pipe bursting — A bursting head splits the old pipe apart while pulling a new pipe through
- Spot repair — A small section is replaced where only one break exists
Trenchless isn’t right for fully collapsed lines or very shallow pipes, but it’s the right choice for most sewer breaks. We assess every job with a sewer camera inspection and quote trenchless sewer repair whenever it fits.
