Trenchless Sewer Repair Methods

CIPP Pipe Lining (Cured-In-Place Pipe)

For cracked, root-damaged, or corroded pipes that haven’t fully collapsed, we install a resin-saturated liner inside the existing pipe. It cures in place and creates a new pipe within the old one. No digging required — we access through an existing cleanout. Cost: $3,500–$8,000. Lifespan: 50+ years. Learn more about CIPP lining.

Pipe Bursting (Trenchless Replacement)

When the pipe is beyond repair — fully collapsed, severely bellied, or Orangeburg — we use pipe bursting. A hydraulic machine pulls a new HDPE pipe through the old line, breaking up the damaged pipe as it goes. Requires two small access pits at each end. No full-length trench. Cost: $8,000–$15,000 depending on length and depth.

Traditional Open-Cut (When Needed)

For very short sections (under 10 feet) or extremely deep laterals, open-cut repair is sometimes faster and cheaper. We excavate only the damaged section, replace it with PVC, and backfill.

Why Upper Darby Homes Need Trenchless Repair

Most Upper Darby homes were built with late-1920s to 1950s rowhomes and twins with aging cast iron stacks and clay lateral lines. These pipes degrade over time:

• Cast iron corrosion: Interior rust creates rough surfaces that catch waste and roots
• Clay tile separation: Joints loosen as soil shifts, letting roots penetrate and block flow
• Orangeburg collapse: Tar-paper pipes (1950s–1970s) crush after 40–50 years
• Bellied pipes: Ground settling creates low spots where waste pools and backs up
