TRENCHLESS
Trenchless sewer line repair in Roswell
Trenchless sewer line repair in Roswell and North Metro Atlanta. A broken sewer line used to mean a trench across the lawn or the driveway. Today, when the line allows it, we repair or replace it through one or two access points. Tell us what the line is doing. We'll put a camera in it, show you the footage, and give you the scope and price before work begins. Call 770-597-4141.
Signs you need trenchless sewer line repair
- Sewage backs up into the lowest drain when you run water elsewhere.
- A patch of lawn is greener, softer or sunken along the line.
- Sewer smell in the yard or the basement.
- Repeated main-line clogs after cleaning, which usually means roots or a break.
How we diagnose it
- 1Camera inspectionWe run a camera the length of the line and record it. You see the break, the roots or the belly, with the footage marked by distance.
- 2Locate and measureWe mark where the damage is at the surface, how deep, and what is above it: driveway, trees, utilities.
- 3Match the method to the pipeLining, pipe bursting, a spot repair or open-cut, chosen from what the camera showed, not from a price list.
Your likely options
- Method
Pipe lining
What it doesA resin liner cured inside the existing pipe, making a new pipe within the old one.
When it applies- cracks, root entry and joint leaks in a pipe that still holds its shape.
- Method
Pipe bursting
What it doesA new pipe pulled through the old route while the old pipe is broken outward.
When it applies- collapsed or badly offset lines that cannot be lined.
- Method
Spot repair
What it doesOne damaged section replaced through a small excavation at the point of failure.
When it applies- a single break with sound pipe either side.
- Method
Open-cut replacement
What it doesThe traditional trench. We tell you when that is the honest answer and quote it the same way.
When it applies- a line too shallow, too crushed or too tangled with other utilities for trenchless.
What it costs
A visit to look at the problem. We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether that visit has a charge and what it is.
- Length and depth of the line.
- Lining or bursting versus a spot repair.
- What is above the line and what has to be restored afterwards.
A written scope and price for the repair, before we start. No work beyond that scope without your OK.

Trenchless sewer line repair questions
How long does a trenchless repair take?
Most residential lines are relined or burst in a day, plus the camera inspection beforehand. We give you the schedule with the price.
Will you need to dig at all?
One or two access pits, usually at the cleanout and at the connection. Not a trench.
How do I know trenchless will work on my line?
The camera tells us. If the pipe has collapsed flat or sits too shallow, we say so and quote the repair that will work.
Do you charge to come out and look?
We tell you on the phone, before we schedule, whether the visit has a charge and what it is.
How soon can you come?
Call and we tell you straight; it depends on the day. For an active leak or backup, call rather than sending the form.
