Sewer problems used to mean digging trenches across your lawn and days of disruption. Not anymore.
At Scott Hale, we offer trenchless sewer line repair services for Salt Lake City homeowners looking for a faster, cleaner, and more efficient solution. Our trenchless plumbing methods restore your pipes with minimal mess and maximum results.
Trenchless sewer repair is a modern plumbing method that fixes or replaces underground sewer lines without extensive excavation. Instead of tearing up your yard, patio, or driveway, we use advanced tools and techniques to access and restore your pipes through small entry points.
This minimally invasive method is ideal for residential properties where landscaping, concrete, or other surfaces make traditional excavation difficult or costly. Trenchless repairs are also faster, often completed within a day. They can last for decades with proper maintenance.
The trenchless repair process starts with a camera inspection of your sewer line. This allows our technicians to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the problem. Once assessed, we use one of two primary methods depending on the condition of your pipes:
A flexible epoxy-coated liner is inserted into the damaged pipe and inflated. Once cured, it forms a new, seamless interior wall, effectively creating a new pipe inside the old one.
If the pipe is too damaged to line, we use a bursting head to break apart the old pipe while pulling in a new, high-density pipe behind it. This method is ideal for full replacements.
Once the entry points are established, our technicians insert the camera equipment to evaluate the pipe’s internal condition in real time. After any debris or blockages are cleared, the lining or bursting procedure begins.
Once the new material is in place, it’s tested for integrity and proper flow before the system is brought back online.
Both techniques require only a few small access points, drastically reducing the impact on your property.
Trenchless sewer repair is a strong solution for a wide range of issues, including:
If your system is showing signs of trouble but you want to avoid major excavation, trenchless pipe repair may be your best option. A professional inspection can confirm whether this solution is right for your situation.
Choosing trenchless plumbing over traditional excavation offers several advantages:
