A camera inspection helps determine whether your line qualifies and where access excavations would be needed.

Three common pathways

Compare pipe lining, pipe bursting, and limited-access repair

Cured-in-place pipe lining

A resin-saturated liner is installed inside a suitable existing pipe and cured to form a new interior pipe surface.

Potential fitOften considered for cracks, joints, or root entry when the host pipe retains enough shape and access is available.

Pipe bursting

A replacement pipe is pulled through the route while specialized equipment breaks apart the old pipe.

Potential fitMay fit lines requiring full replacement when the route and utility conditions permit pulling a new pipe.

Targeted or semi-trenchless repair

A contractor may combine limited excavation with internal repair methods to address a specific failed section.

Potential fitMay fit localized damage when a full-length rehabilitation is unnecessary or unsuitable.

What the inspection must answer

Questions to ask before choosing a method

  • Is the pipe cracked, collapsed, bellied, offset, or heavily deteriorated?
  • Can the existing pipe support a liner?
  • Are there sharp transitions, diameter changes, or missing sections?
  • Where are other utilities, trees, pavement, and foundation elements?
  • What access points and permits will the project require?
  • What warranty applies to the recommended method?

When trenchless methods may not fit your sewer line.
