Understanding Trenchless Pipe Repair: Pros, Cons & Costs

If your home has old or damaged underground plumbing, you may dread the thought of torn-up yards and days of disruption. Thankfully, trenchless pipe repair offers a modern alternative that can fix pipes with minimal mess. At ASAP Plumbing, we’ve seen how this method can save homeowners both time and money—if it’s the right fit.

What Is Trenchless Pipe Repair?

Trenchless pipe repair allows plumbers to fix or replace underground pipes without major excavation. Instead of digging large trenches, small access points are used to insert specialized equipment that either relines or replaces the pipe.

Pros of Trenchless Pipe Repair

• Less Disruption: Your landscaping, driveway, and sidewalks stay largely intact.

• Faster Repairs: Most trenchless pipe repairs can be done in a day.

• Durable Results: The materials used are long-lasting and resistant to corrosion and tree root intrusion.

• Cost-Effective Over Time: Fewer hours of labor and no need for landscape restoration can reduce overall expenses.

Cons to Consider

• Upfront Costs: The initial price can be higher than traditional methods, especially if access is limited.

• Not Ideal for Every Pipe: Severely collapsed pipes or those with major misalignment may still require digging.

How Much Does It Cost?

Costs vary based on pipe length, depth, location, and the condition of your plumbing. On average, homeowners might expect to pay $150 to $300 per linear foot.
