Trenchless Sewer Line Repair
Minimize Disruption with Trenchless Technology
Pipeline Solutions Plumbing brings advanced trenchless sewer repair technology to Northern Virginia, providing effective repairs without the extensive excavation required by traditional methods.

Our Trenchless Process:
-
Video Inspection - Comprehensive camera inspection to assess pipe condition and determine if trenchless repair is appropriate.
-
Pre-Cleaning - Hydro jetting cleans pipes thoroughly, preparing them for lining or creating clear path for pipe bursting.
-
Access Point Creation - Small excavations at pipe ends or at existing cleanouts—typically just 2-3 feet square.
-
Trenchless Repair - Installation of new pipe using appropriate trenchless method.
-
Quality Verification - Post-installation camera inspection verifies successful repair.
-
Minimal Restoration - Small access points are filled and restored—far less than traditional trenching.
