Pipe bursting evaluation
Consider route, existing material, clearances, utility conflicts, insertion and receiving access, and approved pipe sizing.
Less surface disruption where suitable
Choose the method. Not just the label.
Camera-led evaluation of pipe bursting, CIPP lining, open-cut, or hybrid sewer work—with technical limits explained before a method is selected.

Trenchless Sewer Evaluation
A defined service approach
“Trenchless” does not mean no excavation.
Access pits, connections, spot repairs, setup areas, and restoration may still be needed. Pipe condition, grade, material, bends, branches, nearby utilities, and approvals affect suitability. A method should follow the evidence, not a blanket promise of minimal digging.
CIPP lining evaluation
Assess cleaning, host-pipe condition, bends, connections, liner system suitability, and inspection or testing requirements.
Open-cut or hybrid comparison
A grade issue, collapse, connection, or unsuitable host pipe may call for excavation or a combined approach.

A closer look at the service
Inside the line.Beyond the blockage.
Clearing a restriction, inspecting the pipe, and repairing a defect serve different purposes. Use observed findings, safe access, pipe condition, and system responsibilities to choose the next step.

General information—not a substitute for the approved scope, equipment instructions, or governing requirements.
240.392.3535Will the yard remain untouched?
Not necessarily. Access, connections, equipment setup, and repairs can require excavation and restoration. These should be shown in the scope.
Can every old pipe be lined?
No. Condition, size, material, bends, access, and approvals determine whether a liner system is appropriate.
