Trenchless Technology
Homeowners enjoy several advantages with the use of trenchless technology. Seattle trenchless sewer line repair and replacement methods are less intrusive, which means you can keep your landscaping, lawn, and patio intact. Trenchless repairs are faster and save you money.
Trenchless sewer line services are available for:
- Repairing and replacing underground pipes
- Blockages in pipes
- Cracked pipes
- Damage caused by ground shifting
- Problems with improper installation
Our Seattle trenchless sewer line installation and repair are performed using a variety of methods. We start by inspecting your sewer line to locate the problem and the extent of the damage. Based on our findings, we explain your repair and replacement options and recommend the most effective non-invasive method for solving your sewer line problem.
Your Options for Trenchless Sewer Work
We offer two types of trenchless sewer options:
- Pipe bursting includes the installation of a new, flexible pipe (SDR-17) that is pulled through your existing sewer line. It requires an access hole at both ends of whatever segment we are replacing. It uses your existing sewer as a conduit that gets burst, or pushed out of the way, as the new pipe pull through. The pipe is seamless, because we fuse together sections with a special hot iron. This means there are no couplings or fittings to fail or allow roots in. Once connected, the pipe is filled with water to test for any leaks or flaws.
- Perma-Lining is a method we use when we only have one access point due to obstacles or cost. For instance, if we want to replace the section of sewer from your property line to the city main, we can dig a hole on your property and “line” the pipe to the middle of the street without the exorbitant cost of digging a hole in the middle of the street. We can save you thousands by installing a liner. The Perma-Liner is an epoxy that enters the pipe as a soft, thick, glue-type material that hardens into a shell after it is exposed to hot water. There are some limitations to the liner, such as collapsed pipe or major holes in the pipe, but when it is an option, it will save you money and headaches.
If you are interested in trenchless sewer work, we can inspect your sewer with a camera and come up with the best options for you. We offer a 10-year warranty on both options above to protect you from defects or installation errors, but they are considered 100-year materials.
Choosing the right trenchless option depends on numerous factors, including pipe condition, cost considerations, and soil health. Our experts work closely with Seattle residents to navigate these options, ensuring you receive a tailored solution that meets your specific needs. Whether it’s conserving your home’s curb appeal or streamlining operations for a business, Green Planet Plumbing & Sewer delivers unrivaled results.

Commonly Asked Questions
What is trenchless sewer installation?
Trenchless sewer installation is a method of repairing or replacing underground sewer lines without the need for excavation. Instead, specialized equipment is used to create a new pipe inside the old one.
How does trenchless sewer installation work?
Trenchless sewer installation works by inserting a long, flexible tube into the old sewer line. The tube is then inflated, which causes it to press against the inner walls of the old pipe. After the tube has cured, it forms a new pipe inside the old one.
What are the advantages of trenchless sewer installation?
Trenchless sewer installation has several advantages over traditional excavation methods. It is faster, less invasive, and more cost-effective. It also causes less disruption to the surrounding area and is more environmentally friendly.
How long does trenchless sewer installation take?
The length of time required for trenchless sewer installation depends on the size and complexity of the job. However, in general, it takes much less time than traditional excavation methods.
What is the difference between pipe bursting and pipe lining?
Pipe bursting replaces an entire section of pipe, while pipe lining inserts a new pipe within the existing one. Each is suited for different pipe conditions and budgets.
Can trenchless sewer repair be done in the rain?
Trenchless repair can often proceed in light rain, but heavy downpours may delay work due to safety and equipment limitations.
Will I need to leave my home during the repair?
In most cases, you can remain at home. Any temporary water shutoffs or disruptions will be communicated in advance.
How much does trenchless sewer repair typically cost?
Costs vary based on the extent of the damage, method used, and property access, but trenchless methods generally reduce labor and restoration costs.
