Trenchless Sewer Line Repair in Salt Lake City, UT

Traditional sewer repair means digging a trench across your property — tearing through landscaping, driveways, sidewalks, and anything else in the pipe's path. Trenchless technology eliminates most of that disruption. We access the line through small pits at each end (typically 3x3 feet) and repair or replace the pipe from the inside. Your yard, driveway, and mature landscaping stay intact.

We use two trenchless methods depending on the type and extent of damage. CIPP pipe lining (cured-in-place pipe) inserts an epoxy-coated liner into the existing pipe that cures to form a smooth, jointless pipe-within-a-pipe. Pipe bursting pulls a new HDPE pipe through the old one, fracturing the old pipe outward as the new line takes its place. Both methods produce a new pipe rated for 50+ years.

Trenchless isn't the right solution for every situation — and we'll be honest about that. If the line has a severe belly, sharp bends, or has completely collapsed without a traceable path, traditional excavation is necessary. But for the majority of residential sewer problems in Northern Utah — root intrusion, cracked joints, offset connections, and deteriorating pipe material — trenchless methods work and save significant time, cost, and property damage.

CIPP pipe lining is best for pipes that are still structurally intact but damaged — cracks at joints, root intrusion points, minor offsets, and internal deterioration. The liner bonds to the inside of the existing pipe, sealing cracks and creating a smooth, root-proof interior. Pipe bursting is the trenchless option when the pipe is too damaged for lining — severe cracking, partial collapse, or pipe material that's too deteriorated to support a liner (like late-stage Orangeburg). It actually replaces the old pipe with a new one, so it's a full replacement without a trench. We determine which method is right during the camera inspection.
