Trenchless Sewer Repair in Boise, ID

How Does Trenchless Repair Work?

Trenchless sewer repair eliminates the need to dig large trenches to reach damaged sewer or drain pipes. Instead, our Five Star Service Pros team accesses the sewer line through small entry points. Once we identify the exact location of the problem, we choose the most effective trenchless method, which typically includes pipe bursting or pipe relining.

• Pipe Bursting: This process involves pulling a new, high-strength pipe through an existing damaged line. A bursting head breaks apart the old pipe while the new one is installed in its place. This method is highly effective for replacing severely damaged pipes without disrupting your property.
• Pipe Relining: In cases where the existing pipe is still structurally sound but has cracks or leaks, pipe relining may be the best option. We insert a flexible liner coated with epoxy resin into the damaged pipe, which hardens to create a seamless, durable inner layer. This not only seals the damage but can also strengthen the pipe.

Issues Requiring Trenchless Repair

Trenchless sewer repair is highly effective in addressing a wide variety of sewer line issues, including:

• Tree Root Infiltration: Tree roots can invade sewer lines, causing blockages or cracks. Trenchless repair allows us to remove the roots and restore the pipe without the need for expansive digging.
• Aging Pipes: Older sewer lines can corrode, leak, and deteriorate. Trenchless repair replaces or reinforces these aging pipes, extending their lifespan.
• Cracks and Fractures: Ground shifting, freezing, or heavy land use can cause underground sewer pipes to crack or fracture. Pipe bursting or relining can resolve these issues
• Misaligned Joints: Over time, the joints in your sewer line can become misaligned due to ground movement or settling. Trenchless repair methods realign and stabilize these joints.
