Answers to frequently asked trenchless sewer repair questions from Richmond property owners.
Trenchless sewer repair in Richmond typically costs $4,000 to $12,000 depending on pipe length, diameter, and damage extent. While the repair itself may cost more than excavation, total project cost is often lower because you avoid landscaping, driveway, and hardscape restoration.
Most trenchless sewer repairs in Richmond are completed in a single day. CIPP lining cure times range from 2 to 6 hours, and pipe bursting installations are typically done in 4 to 8 hours. Compare that to 3 to 5 days for traditional excavation.
Yes. CIPP liners and burst-in HDPE pipe are rated for 50+ years of service. The seamless liner is actually more resistant to root intrusion than traditional jointed pipe because it has no joints for roots to enter. Scranton Sewer Authority warranties trenchless repairs in Richmond.
Most can, but not all. Severely collapsed pipes, pipes with multiple sharp bends, or undersized pipes may not be candidates. Scranton Sewer Authority always camera-inspects first and is honest about when trenchless is and is not the right choice for your Richmond property.

"The trenchless repair saved our front yard. We were dreading having to dig up the entire lawn but they pulled a liner through the existing pipe and it was done in one day. Could not even tell they were there."
"Our commercial kitchen drains were draining slower and slower. They did a full hydro jetting of the grease lines and cleaned the trap. Everything flows perfectly now. We are setting up quarterly maintenance."
