Trenchless Pipe Repair
Zero Dig Pipe Restoration Services
Roto-Rooter's Zero-Dig Pipe Restoration Services can bring most old sewers and drainpipes back to life without digging trenches to repair or replace them. Little to no digging is required and some trenchless services can be completed in as little as a few hours.
Avoid Expensive Collateral Damage
Gone are the days when there was only one way to repair or replace an underground sewer or drainpipe: digging long, deep trenches. Traditional excavation may still be the best option in many instances, but not when it means tearing out trees, sidewalks, landscaping beds or parking lots. All of which are expensive to replace. Zero-Dig Pipe Repair & Replacement allows home and business owners faster, less invasive options that results in the same outcome without all the collateral damage. We can remotely repair small sections or complete pipelines.
Zero-Dig Pipe Restoration Services avoid damage to:
- Landscaping & Trees
- Slabs & Sidewalks
- Driveways & Parking Lots
*Service offerings may vary by location

Trenchless Solutions
Depending on the problem, Roto-Rooter offers several trenchless solutions to get your damaged pipe back into service. We’ll provide options and recommend the most useful services for your situation. Between pipe descaling, pipe brush coating, pipe patching, or complete pipe relining, there is a trenchless solution to fit most any need and budget.
Relining Process
Once the entire existing pipe is cleaned and descaled, the pipe's structural condition is assessed with a video inspection snake. The new liner is prepared and loaded into the inversion drum, then the liner is inverted and air pressure pushes it through the damaged host pipe. For the curing process, the liner is inflated with air pressure and left to cure inside the pipe. The liner can ambient cure or the process can be expedited with the addition of hot water or hot air.
After the liner has cured, the brand and connecting lines are reopened or reinstated. The pipe is then inspected a final time and returned to service.
