Your sewer line needs to be fixed — but that doesn't mean your yard, driveway, or landscaping has to get torn apart in the process. Trenchless repair lets us fix or replace the line from the inside, with minimal digging and a lot less disruption. Most jobs can be done in a single day.

Instead of digging a trench across your property to get to the damaged pipe, trenchless methods work through small access points at each end of the line. At Precision Sewer Line Repair CO, we either repair the pipe from the inside or pull a brand new one through the old one — without ripping up your yard.
There are two main approaches we use:
Both methods leave your property mostly untouched compared to a traditional dig.
This is one of the first questions Charlotte homeowners ask. Here's how they compare:
We'll always tell you which method makes the most sense for your situation. If trenchless isn't the right fit, we'll explain why and walk you through the alternatives. For traditional options, visit our sewer line repair page.
Trenchless works in most situations, but not all. Here's when it's a good fit:
Trenchless may not work if the pipe has completely collapsed, has a severe sag, or has lost its shape entirely. That's why we always start with a camera inspection — so we know exactly what we're working with before recommending anything.
Here are the general ranges we see:
| Method | Typical Cost |
|---|---|
| Pipe lining (per section) | $3,000 – $8,000 |
| Pipe bursting (full line) | $4,000 – $10,000 |
| Camera inspection (diagnostic) | $250 – $500 |
These ranges depend on the length and depth of the line, the condition of the pipe, and access. Trenchless is often comparable to traditional repair when you factor in the cost of restoring your yard or driveway afterward. We give you the full price before we start.
Most jobs are done in a single day. Larger or more complex projects may take two days.
In most cases, yes. Homes with clay, cast iron, or older PVC pipes are all candidates. We run a camera inspection first to confirm the pipe's condition and whether trenchless is the right approach.
Pipe lining and pipe bursting both create new pipes that are rated to last 50 years or more. They're also resistant to root intrusion, which is a big deal in Charlotte.
The repair itself can be similar in price. But with traditional repair, you also have to pay to restore your landscaping, driveway, or concrete. When you factor all of that in, trenchless often comes out ahead.
Usually two small access holes — one at each end of the repair section. That's it. No long trenches across your property.
Yes. That's actually one of the most common situations where homeowners choose trenchless — because the alternative is jackhammering through concrete.
