Trenchless
A broken pipe can be a big hassle. Historically, when a pipe breaks down (leaks), traditional methods require a property owner to dig (excavate) a trench into the ground and extract the broken pipe.
Trenchless pipe repair helps avoid intrusive, costly measures that require large equipment, manpower, and time.

When and Where Do You Need Trenchless?
The short answer is: it depends.
Every pipe is different. If the pipes are difficult to access and would require a highly intrusive procedure to extract and install a new pipe, you should definitely ask your plumber about trenchless solutions.
Certain locations, such as:
- Urban areas
- Historic districts
- Environmentally sensitive zones
- Major roads and highways
- Large bodies of water
- Rocky or uneven terrain
- Frozen ground
- Driveways and parkways
- Building interior walls
are all good use cases where a trenchless solution should be considered.
These suggestions become more advisable after one of our expert lining technicians detects and diagnoses the severity of the failure in the pipe system.
Who Needs Trenchless?
Trenchless Pipe Repair is a great solution for both residential and commercial pipes that are in less-than-ideal locations or when a pipe excavation would be far too disruptive and intrusive.
If you’re a:
- Homeowner
- Property Manager

Is Trenchless Right For Me?
When we inspect a property, our team of plumbers will create a personalized solution based on their expertise. We educate our staff on the latest and greatest techniques, as well as the tried-and-true traditional methods of restoring pipes.
If trenchless is right for you and your property, we will connect you with our A-1 Total Service Lining Team.
Here’s how trenchless jobs usually go:
- A leak is detected in your system.
- You call a plumber (hopefully us).
- The plumber inspects the line to find the leak in the pipe.
After the leak(s) is/are found, we’ll go over options and give you an estimate on the best solution for your issue, which may include trenchless pipe repair.
Is the pipe easily accessible, and what condition is the pipe in? The health of the pipe will dictate the scope of work we recommend.
A pipe that can be hydro-jetted and descaled can be lined. A pipe that is too brittle or fragile might require a trench pull, commonly known as pipe bursting, which are both forms of trenchless pipe repair.
