Sewer Repair
Cracked or sagging sewer lines, roots and repeat backups in the line from your house to the street.
In a Mokena subdivision, the sewer line usually runs under a driveway, a front walk or a landscaped yard you've spent years on. Trenchless repair fixes the pipe through small openings, so most of that stays put. From our office on Jodi Road.


Trenchless sewer repair, also called no-dig sewer repair, fixes a damaged pipe without digging a trench along its full length. Instead of opening up your yard from the house to the street, we work through one or two access points and repair the pipe from the inside or replace it in place. There are two main methods: cured-in-place pipe (CIPP) lining and pipe bursting. Both fix the line underground, so what's above it stays untouched.
Most homes here went up in the 1990s and 2000s, with yards and driveways that are just as established.
Many lines run under the driveway to the street. A liner goes under the concrete instead of through it.
Openings are placed to protect what you've built.
When roots have found several joints, lining seals all of them at once.
A liner follows the pipe, including its low spots. A real sag gets fixed first.
The camera footage decides:
| What the Camera Shows | Best Approach | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Roots or cracks, pipe still round | Pipe lining | Seals every joint from inside |
| Pipe too damaged to line | Pipe bursting | New pipe pulled through the old path |
| One sag or broken section | Spot repair | Fixes the low point directly |
| Collapsed line | Excavation | Nothing left to line or burst |

Usually, without breaking the concrete.
Usually. The liner goes in through a cleanout or a small opening at one end, so the driveway can stay in place.
Yes, if it holds its shape.
Yes. Lining works on PVC, clay and cast iron, as long as the pipe is still round and open enough for the liner.
Decades.
Liners are designed to last for decades, with no joints for roots to get through.
Often a day or two.
Many residential jobs are done in a day or two, depending on the length of the line and the method.
