Craig Devakow on Why Trenchless Sewer Repair Is the Right Call for Delaware County Homes
Craig Devakow, owner of Advanced Drains and Underground Solutions in Springfield PA, has seen firsthand what happens when homeowners choose traditional excavation over trenchless repair. The answer is almost always the same: a torn-up yard, a cracked driveway, and a bill that keeps growing.
The Problem With Digging
Traditional sewer repair requires digging a trench the full length of the damaged pipe — sometimes 40 to 60 feet across a front yard. That means landscaping gone, driveways cracked, concrete broken. The pipe gets fixed, but now you have a second project to restore everything that was dug up.
What Trenchless Actually Does
Craig Devakow and the Advanced Drains team use two methods to avoid digging entirely. Pipe lining inserts a fiberglass liner into the existing pipe — no excavation, just a small access point. Pipe bursting pulls a new pipe through while breaking apart the old one. Both methods fix the pipe permanently, often with a lifetime warranty.
