3 Reasons to Go Trenchless This Summer
If your sewage system is experiencing some damage, trenchless technology may be your ultimate summer sewage repair; and here are three reasons why.
1. It Won’t Interrupt Your Summer Fun
Traditional pipe repair will require digging up your yard in order to excavate the old piping and it can’t take a while. This can seriously put a cramp on any BBQ plans. Not so with trenchless technology. There are two commonly-used trenchless technologies used for pipe repair/replacement:
- Lateral Pipe Lining. Also known as cured-in-place piping (CIPP), this technology adds a layer of epoxy resin to reline the existing pipe. Basically, it creates a new pipe within the old one.
- Pipe Bursting. This technique uses a pneumatic or hydraulic head that destroys the old, broken pipe and drags in a new pipe to replace it.
Both of these methods are almost completely non-invasive and can be accomplished usually within a day, so your yard will stay intact and the fun can continue!

2. It’s Highly Cost-Effective
On paper, traditional sewer pipe repair will probably appear similarly priced or even less expensive than trenchless technology. However, the numbers don’t tell the whole story. Consider these added costs of traditional sewer pipe repair that won’t be applicable with trenchless technology:
- Excavating and removing the old piping and the additional labor needed to do this
- Moving any large objects or structures located above the pipeline plus labor to do it
- Professional landscaping to repair damage following excavation and repair
- The nuisance factor for homeowners and interruption of business costs for commercial operations
3. It’s a Greener Alternative
Do you care about the environment? Most Californians do! With traditional pipe repair, all excavated metal or PVC sewage pipes will usually be scrapped and new metal or PVC pipes would be laid in their place. Because trenchless technologies repair the existing pipes, no material needs to be tossed in a landfill or manufactured. That’s a win-win for the environment!
