No Dig Sewer Repair Services in Amarillo, TX and the Texas Panhandle

Our no-dig sewer repair services are the best way to address underground sewer damage. We recommend this service when possible, as it’s faster and less invasive than traditional methods. Depending on the issue you’re facing, no-dig repair can help you avoid a full excavation and sewer line replacement, address a potential slab leak, or proactively reinforce an aging pipe.

What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?

Trenchless pipe repair involves replacing a damaged sewer line with a new one using only one or two access points, rather than digging up the entire line. There are two kinds of trenchless pipe repair:

  • Pipe bursting: This trenchless pipe repair method pulls a new pipe through the old one using a bursting head. This breaks the old pipe apart and leaves the new one in its place. Pipe bursting offers the most durable, reliable repair because it installs a completely new, independent pipe in place of the old one.
  • Pipe lining: Cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) is a trenchless repair method that involves inserting a flexible, epoxy resin-coated tube into the sewer line from an access point. Once the new tube is in place, it’s cured using hot water, steam, or UV light. This hardens the epoxy, forming a new pipe inside the old one. CIPP is a good option for pipes with minor damage, but there are several parts to this, and it’s more complex.

Generally, we recommend clients opt for pipe bursting when possible. While CIPP lining can yield good results for pipes with smaller areas of damage, the thin CIPP lining doesn’t compare to the long-term durability of a bursting pipe replacement. No matter which method is used, trenchless pipe repair causes far less damage and disruption to your property than traditional dig-and-replace methods, requiring just one or two small holes to access the pipe.

Signs Your Sewer Line Needs Trenchless Repair

Here are some signs that you may require trenchless sewer repair:

  • Slow drains: If your drains make a gurgling noise, take a long time to empty, or start bubbling, it could be due to narrowed or blocked drains. You may need trenchless drain cleaning to resolve the issue.
  • Stinky odors: Unpleasant sewage smells inside your home or in your yard may indicate a sewer line problem. These fumes not only smell horrible, but can also pose a health hazard to your family.
  • Frequent clogs: Persistent clogging in your drains might mean an underlying issue with your sewer line.
  • Sewage backup: Sewage backups might only require a sewer cleaning, but they can also mean you need trenchless sewer line repair in Amarillo.
  • Moisture in the basement: If you notice moisture in your basement, there could be a sewage blockage or a break somewhere in the line. We recommend getting a leak detection pro to inspect the issue and determine where the water is coming from. 
  • Toilet sounds: Strange noises from the toilet might indicate a sewer line problem.
  • Changes in your lawn: Grass suddenly growing in dense patches or sunken puddles may mean a sewer line break or blockage in those areas.

Benefits of Trenchless Sewer Repair Over Traditional Methods

Choosing trenchless sewer repair over traditional methods provides several benefits, including:

  • Less mess: Trenchless sewer repair requires far less digging than traditional methods, so you won’t have to worry about our technicians tearing up your lawn, damaging landscaping, and creating a costly mess.
  • Efficient service: Trenchless sewer repair takes much less time since no digging is required. Your sewer issue will be fixed in a fraction of the time traditional methods take.
  • Eco-friendly: Trenchless sewer repair uses special equipment that doesn’t harm the environment. Our technicians finish the job without risking damage to gas or sewer lines that harm the ecosystem.
  • Functional improvements: Our trenchless sewer repair service can improve the functionality of your sewer system by installing better, larger pipes to increase flow capacity.
  • Long-lasting: Trenchless repairs meet plumbing industry standards and use long-lasting components, such as seamless PVC pipes that won’t rust or corrode over time.

What To Expect During Trenchless Sewer Line Repair

When you work with our team for an Amarillo sewer pipe lining using trenchless methods, what can you expect? 

First, our skilled technicians use a special camera to probe into your sewer lines to determine the location and source of the problem. These high-tech, probing cameras make it easier to find and diagnose issues without digging or tearing up your landscaping. This inspection will help us determine the next steps, whether it’s hydrojetting a willow, poplar, or cottonwood tree root or performing trenchless repairs.

Trenchless pipe bursting in Amarillo involves expanding and “bursting” the old sewer line and replacing it with a new one. The new line is typically constructed of durable, high-density polyethylene, or HDPE. A special bursting head is inserted into the old pipeline, which breaks it from the inside. A flexible pipe is attached to the back of the bursting head and replaces the old line at the same time. Two pits are dug at either end of the line for access points, and you can select a larger pipe to improve sewage flow during the repair process.
