How Trenchless Water Line Replacement Works

Trenchless water line services utilize advanced, minimally invasive techniques such as pipe bursting and cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining to restore or replace underground water lines. The process typically starts with a thorough camera inspection to assess the condition and pinpoint issues within the pipeline, followed by targeted cleaning using high-pressure water jets or mechanical devices to ensure the new liner adheres securely. For CIPP lining, technicians insert a resin-saturated liner into the existing pipe, then cure it in place to create a seamless, durable new lining inside the original. Alternatively, pipe bursting breaks apart the old pipe while simultaneously pulling a new pipe into its place, eliminating the need for extensive excavation. Final steps always include pressure testing and a second camera inspection to confirm that the new installation is leak-free, structurally sound, and ready for decades of reliable use—all done without digging up the yard or disrupting driveways or landscaping .
