When a pipe is only damaged by root intrusion or corrosion, trenchless sewer replacement can usually be performed from an access point in your basement.

This enables our trenchless technology specialists to access, clean, and reline the pipe without digging into your yard or disturbing your landscaping.

When a pipe is broken or collapsed, or in a location not accessible from your basement, open cut excavation is performed to access and replace only the damaged section of sewer line.

For example, if only 5 feet of a 100-foot long sewer line is damaged, we use camera inspection to accurately identify the damaged section; then replace the damaged pipe and install a cleanout access point; then reline the entire pipe with a long-lasting, patented Perma-Liner™ pipe lining system.

Whichever method of replacing a sewer line is used, you can be assured that our team of certified drain layers and Perma-Liner™ Installers will provide expert advice and repair estimates, and keep your new sewer line cost fair, to afford you great value and peace of mind.

Steps of the Cured In Place (CIPP) Pipe Lining Process

These steps of our non-invasive CIPP sewer pipe relining process avoids the cost of expensive cleanup and replacement of landscaping or infrastructure, and leaves no mess behind.

- Create a minimally-invasive access point in the pipe
- Conduct a video pipeline inspection to pinpoint the location of pipe damage
- Clean the pipe to remove roots, dirt, debris or other objects that could affect the pipe lining
- Measure the damaged section
- Custom-cut the new liner and calibration tube to precisely fit the pipe
- Insert the resin-saturated felt sleeve into the damaged pipe
- Apply air pressure, allowing the resin to bond and seal to the existing/host pipe
- The calibration tube serves as a balloon to keep the liner in place as it cures
- Once curing is complete, remove the calibration tube
- Test the new CIPP pipe restoration, to ensure that it’s ready for service

Amazing experience with Trenchless Sewer Repair. I had an odor in my bathroom that no other plumber could solve. Mike came out and was able to find the issue with a rotting pipe that was deep under my tub. It was not an easy task at all and took 2 days with all the digging but he resolved it perfectly. He was determined to find and solve the problem and really saved my sanity.I highly recommend TSR!!

Their crew found a substantial leak in our sewer pipe outflow under the floor of our washroom big enough to snag his camera.They had it replaced and the cement done over in a day and left everything clean.

Tremendous service. Solved a difficult plumbing problem and couldn’t have been nicer and more personable. Very pleased with the service! And definitely would use them again.

I highly recommend Trenchless Sewer Repair! Sam and Mike came today to clear our main sewage line. They could not have been more skilled, professional and thorough. They were very reassuring when going through options for the more permanent solution of sleeving. They were sensitive to how stressful home repairs can be. We will definitely be using TSR to reline the main pipe this spring!

Trenchless Sewer repair is a great company to use. I call them for all our commercial properties and I have used them at my personal home and they are great and always solve the matter. Highly recommend them for all plumbing and sewer needs.

Steph Halvatzes

They did a CIPP pipe relining for us and then came back and replaced a lot of old piping in our basement. Everyone was great to work with. Almost instant response to communications and everyone showed up when they said they would. Everyone was friendly, informative, honest and professional and delivered high quality work at a fair price. I recommend TSR highly and though I hope I don't need to see them anytime soon, They'll be on speed-dial if I do.

If you are searching for a company to fix your sewer that is responsible, on time, and understanding of your stressful situation.... You found it! We had to replace our main sewer line and the job required excavating, of course the big plumbing companies saw $$$. Looking for different opinions/quotes I met with Rich. He explained exactly what the problem was, how to fix it and his price was more than reasonable for the amount of work he and his guys did. I will recommend TSR to all my family and friends.

Amazing work. Great crew. Absolute best.

Trenchless Sewer Repair relined my sewer pipe, after roots penetrated the pipe in two places. Despite having to dig through concrete in a downstairs bedroom, the crew completed the job in only a few hours. They were prompt, courteous, and very thorough. I would definitely use them again!! One last thing, Diane was fantastic in answering my initial questions and helping me set everything up.

Rich always answers the phone when you call. He quoted me the exact amount we ended up paying for a full 60 ft liner in a clay sewer pipe that had extremely old bushes and trees above. He had to take a look before to make sure he knew and that lasted about 5 minutes as well (which was nice since we are all working and going to school from home). He said it would take about 4 hours to do and they were in and out in less than that. One thing to keep in mind is that he will probably be EARLY to any appointment he schedules -- a nice change from the usual waiting game most service providers play. I would recommend him to anyone that has a collapsing, compromised, deteriorating sewer pipe. It isn't as scary as it sounds! He'll fix it!

I called plumbers and excavation companies for weeks before I learned that what I really needed was a drain liner. My house is in a challenging location and digging up the drain would have been very messy and expensive - AND I couldn’t find anyone who wanted to do the job. Then I learned about trenchless drain repair and searched google. These guys were responsive and were able to give me some clear rates over the phone. Then when I called them to do the job he came two days later and inspected the entire line and gave me a quote to repair the entire thing. It was on par with one other plumber but he was able to do the job the next day! They arrived before 7am the next day and had the entire drain done by 10:30. I was a little shocked that a four hour job (three guys) could cost so much but I am confident it was done well - they offer a ten year warranty on the work.

I recently had a trenchless sewer line installed by Rich and his team at TSR. These guys were incredible! This was a project I put off for over 4 years because of the cost and the fact my entire landscape was going to be destroyed in the process. I got multiple quotes from excavation companies from $10k to $14k and to be honest most wouldn’t even call me back after they saw the project. When I spoke with Rich he assured me that it would be easy for them to get in and out with minimal disruption to the landscape. The cost was also much more affordable vs. digging up, destroying and not putting my yard back together like all the elevation companies were proposing.To be honest, I didn’t think it was possible but these guys came in and left without anything being out of place. I was shocked! They even brought in a small excavator to do a spot repair where the tree roots had collapsed the pipe and it still looked like they had never been here, the dig was on a patch of mulch. I literally can’t say enough about this company, their professionalism and quality of work! Keep it up guys....still amazed! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
