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 Havertown Homes Need Trenchless Repair
Most Havertown homes were built with 1920s-1940s brick twins and stone colonials with original cast iron and clay tile sewer laterals. 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
Haverford Township U&O Requirement: Ordinance 2532 and 2625 require interior sewer inspections, backwater valve installation, and sump/floor drain disconnections for all property transfers. If you’re selling or buying a home in Havertown, a failed sewer inspection can delay closing. Trenchless repair gets you compliant fast — often within 1–2 days.
