Frequently Asked Questions
Don't see your question here? Call us, we're happy to walk through it.
Call 504-500-4709Not always. Trenchless works when the pipe is structurally intact enough to line or replace in place, but a collapsed line, severe belly, or extensive damage may need traditional excavation. We recommend the right approach for your specific situation, not the most expensive one.
We always start with a camera inspection to see the actual condition of your line before recommending anything. Spot repairs work for localized damage; full replacement makes sense when the pipe has multiple problem areas or has reached the end of its service life.
A few factors compound here: aggressive oak and magnolia tree roots that seek out any moisture from pipe joints, constantly shifting soil that separates pipe joints and creates low spots, and older pipe materials like cast iron and clay that corrode or crack with age.
Most trenchless jobs are completed in about a day, compared to traditional excavation, which can take longer depending on the extent of the damage and yard restoration needed.
