Traditional sewer replacement means digging a trench along the full length of the damaged line, which can mean losing established trees, tearing out concrete, and days of yard restoration afterward. Trenchless methods work through one or two small access points instead, which is why homeowners in established New Orleans neighborhoods, where mature landscaping and older hardscaping are common, increasingly choose trenchless repair when the pipe condition allows for it. A camera inspection determines which approach fits your specific situation.

Call 504-500-4709Not always, but it applies to most residential sewer damage. Severely collapsed sections, major line offsets, or certain layout obstacles can require limited traditional excavation. A camera inspection tells us which approach fits your specific line.
CIPP lining creates a new pipe inside the existing one, which works best when the old pipe still holds its shape. Pipe bursting physically destroys the old pipe while pulling a new one through the same path, which is used when the existing pipe is too damaged for lining or when a larger diameter is needed.
Most residential trenchless repairs are completed in a single day, including access point preparation, installation, and verification. More complex jobs with longer lines may take longer.
Trenchless repair is generally less expensive than full excavation once you account for restoring landscaping, driveways, or hardscaping after a traditional dig. We provide an upfront estimate for both approaches when applicable so you can compare.
