Here is how we handle every trenchless sewer repair project in State College.
Our State College crew begins with an HD camera inspection to map the damage and confirm your sewer line is a good candidate for trenchless repair. Not every situation qualifies, and we are honest about that.
Scranton Sewer Authority prepares your State College sewer line for trenchless repair by thoroughly cleaning the interior. Roots, grease, and scale are removed with hydro jetting so the liner or burst head can do its job perfectly.
For CIPP lining, we pull a resin-saturated liner through the pipe and cure it in place with steam or UV light. For pipe bursting, we pull a new pipe through while simultaneously breaking the old one apart.
Our State College crew runs a final camera through the repaired line to confirm perfect installation. We show you the footage so you can see the smooth, jointless interior of your rehabilitated sewer pipe.
Common questions about trenchless sewer repair in State College.
Trenchless sewer repair in State College 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.
