Our professionals will show you the camera inspection results and discuss your repair options with you—providing full transparency and open communication.
Step 2: Heat Fusing Your Pipes Together

Not only does a trenchless sewer line install with minimal excavation, but it also provides you with a stronger joint and more advanced system.
Step 3: Inserting Your New Pipes
Finally, our professionals pull a cone-shaped bursting head through the old pipe with the new highly durable High-Density Poly Ethylene sewer pipe attached to the back of it. The cone bursts/breaks the old 4-inch pipe out to 5 inches and slides the new full-size 4-inch pipe into place—leaving the old pipe crumbled in place.
