When we recommend trenchless work, it's usually one of two methods: cured-in-place pipe lining or pipe bursting. They're both no-dig, but they fit different situations.
A resin-saturated felt liner is inserted into your existing pipe and cured in place, forming a smooth, jointless new pipe inside the old one. It's ideal when the host pipe is cracked or root-invaded but still holding its shape. The jointless result resists future root intrusion for decades.
A bursting head is pulled through the old line, fracturing it outward while simultaneously pulling in a new HDPE pipe. It's the choice when the existing pipe is too collapsed or undersized to line — effectively a full replacement with minimal digging.
The camera inspection tells us whether the host pipe can be lined or needs to be burst. Either way, you get a durable new line without the yard destruction of a full trench.
