Trenchless Drain Repair

Repair broken, damaged, or failing underground drain lines without tearing up your yard. Our trenchless drain repair solutions provide long-lasting fixes with minimal digging, faster completion, and less disruption to your property throughout Wasatch County and Summit County, Utah.

What Is Trenchless Drain Repair?

Trenchless drain repair is a modern method for fixing underground drain and sewer lines without the need for extensive digging or excavation. Instead of tearing up your yard, driveway, or landscaping, trenchless techniques repair or replace damaged pipes from the inside using specialized equipment and materials.

It's an alternative to traditional dig-and-replace methods that cause major property disruption. Trenchless drain line repair is commonly used for sewer lines, main drain lines, and other underground piping that would otherwise require large-scale excavation to access and repair.

Key Advantage

Trenchless repair methods preserve your landscaping, concrete, and property features while providing a long-lasting solution that can last 50+ years.

Necessary tools, equipment for welding pipeline lined next to the trench.

Signs You May Need Trenchless Drain Repair

These warning signs often indicate underground drain line damage that may require professional repair.

Recurring Drain Backups

Drain backups that keep happening despite clearing clogs may indicate broken or collapsed pipes underground.

Slow Drains Throughout Home

Multiple slow drains at once often signal a problem in your main drain line rather than individual fixtures.

Sewage Odors

Foul smells coming from drains or yard areas can indicate cracked pipes leaking sewage underground.

Frequent Clogs

Persistent clogging that returns shortly after cleaning may be caused by damaged pipe interiors catching debris.

Camera Inspection Reveals Damage

A sewer camera inspection can show cracks, breaks, root intrusion, or corrosion requiring repair.

Soggy Spots or Lush Grass

Unexplained wet areas or unusually green grass can indicate underground leaks fertilizing the area.

How Trenchless Drain Repair Works

Our trenchless drain repair process is designed to diagnose and fix underground drain problems efficiently and with minimal disruption.

1

Inspection & Diagnosis

We start with a thorough sewer camera inspection to see exactly what's wrong with your drain line. This video inspection shows us the location, extent, and type of damage so we can recommend the right repair method.

2

Access Point Preparation

Rather than digging a trench along the entire pipe, we create small access points at the beginning and end of the damaged section. These are typically existing cleanouts or small entry holes that cause minimal disruption.

3

Trenchless Repair or Lining

Using specialized equipment, we repair the damaged drain line from the inside. Depending on the damage, we may use pipe lining to create a new pipe within the old one, or other trenchless techniques to restore full function without excavation.

4

Final Inspection & Restoration

After the repair is complete, we perform another camera inspection to verify the work. We then restore the small access points, leaving your property looking nearly untouched compared to traditional excavation methods.

Trenchless Drain Repair Methods

We use advanced trenchless technologies to repair your underground drain lines effectively and permanently.

CIPP Pipe Lining

Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining is one of the most common trenchless drain repair methods. This process creates a new, seamless pipe inside your existing damaged drain line using resin-saturated liners that harden in place.

Epoxy pipe lining and UV-cured pipe lining are different technologies used within CIPP repairs, not separate services. Both methods achieve the same goal: rehabilitating your drain line without excavation.

Depending on your specific drain line damage, we may recommend other trenchless repair approaches including pipe bursting, spot repairs, or specialized lining methods suited to your property's unique needs.
