If the words “sewer line repair” make you picture your beautiful yard getting torn apart, we’ve got good news: many times, it’s possible to repair a sewer line without major digging. At Fix & Flow, we use modern techniques to solve the problem while protecting your landscaping, driveway, and peace of mind.
How No-Dig Sewer Line Repair Works
Advances in plumbing technology mean we don’t always have to excavate to reach your pipes. Instead, we use trenchless methods to fix or replace the line right where it is.
Two common techniques are:
- Pipe lining (Cured-in-Place Pipe) – A flexible liner coated with resin is inserted into your existing pipe. Once it cures, it creates a smooth, like-new pipe inside the old one.
- Pipe bursting – A special tool breaks the old pipe while pulling a new pipe into place—no need for an open trench across your yard.
Both methods are fast, clean, and long-lasting.
When Trenchless Repair is a Good Option
Trenchless sewer repair is often possible if:
- Your sewer line is cracked, leaking, or corroded—but not completely collapsed.
- Tree roots have caused damage, but the line still has some structural integrity.
- You want to avoid tearing up driveways, patios, or mature landscaping.
We always start with a video camera inspection to see exactly what’s going on inside your pipes before recommending a repair method.
Benefits of No-Dig Sewer Repairs
- Less disruption – No giant trenches in your yard.
- Faster completion – Many repairs are done in a single day.
- Cost savings – Fewer labor hours and no need to replace landscaping or hardscaping.
- Long-lasting results – Repairs can last decades when done correctly.
When Digging is Still Necessary
While trenchless methods are amazing, they’re not right for every situation. If the sewer line has completely collapsed, shifted badly, or is made of outdated materials like Orangeburg pipe, excavation may be the safest choice.
Our team will always give you an honest assessment so you can make the right decision for your home without trying to sell you something you don’t need.
What to Do if You Suspect a Sewer Line Problem
Common warning signs include:
- Frequent drain clogs or backups in multiple fixtures
- Slow-draining sinks, tubs, or toilets
- Sewage odors around your property
- Soggy patches or sinkholes in your yard
If you notice any of these, call us immediately or schedule an appointment here. Delaying repairs can cause more damage and higher costs.
