Trenchless methods work in most situations, but not all. Some sewer line conditions require traditional excavation for a proper repair.
If your pipe has collapsed completely and the interior is blocked with debris, there may not be a clear path for pipe bursting equipment. If the line has multiple sharp bends, trenchless tools can't navigate them. If the pipe has bellied significantly, creating a low spot where waste collects, lining won't fix the slope problem. And if the sewer line runs under a structure or through an area that was already excavated poorly, traditional access may be the only option.
Roger's Plumbing uses camera inspections to assess your sewer line honestly. If trenchless repair will give you a lasting fix, we'll recommend it. If your situation calls for traditional excavation, we'll explain why and provide options. Our goal is the right repair for your home, not selling you on one method over another.
