Trenchless Sewer Repair – Park Ridge
Trenchless Sewer Repair is a term with which all Park Ridge homeowners should become familiar. With some homes older than the Pickwick and an abundance of sewers made of clay pipe, most Park Ridge residents will at some point experience a problem with their sewer. If and when that time comes, Trenchless Sewer Repair can help.
Trenchless Sewer Repair Saves Your Lawn
Sewer repair done using conventional methods can be a messy project. It often involves excavation which means either digging up the yard or breaking up the basement floor. Sometimes the sewer is buried under a deck or stoop, flowerbed or bush, walkway or driveway, and all of these things have to be removed in order for the repair to proceed.
What’s worse, after the sewer has been repaired, the homeowner has to deal with the headaches and costs of restoration. This is where the Trenchless method comes in and completely eliminates the need for excavation.
Conventional sewer repair often requires a lot of digging as you can see in the photo above. It takes quite a bit of time and effort to restore your lawn to its original state.
Trenchless Sewer Repair Saves You Money
Trenchless Sewer Repair is also less expensive than conventional repair and that’s before you take the costs of landscape restoration, driveway repair, or deck reconstruction into account. It also comes with a 50-year warranty, which is about 5 to 10 times longer than the typical warranty on conventional sewer repair or replacement.

How Is Trenchless Sewer Repair Done?
There are two types of Trenchless Sewer Repair Park Ridge customers can take advantage of:
- Sewer Liner (also known as Trenchless Sewer Relining or Sewer Lining) – typically used to repair longer sections of pipe – usually 20 feet or longer. It can be also be used in place of conventional sewer replacement.
- Pipe Stent Trenchless Sewer Repair – typically used to repair shorter sections of pipe and for spot repairs.
Watch the Pipe Stent Trenchless Repair process in this short video:
With the Trenchless process, we’re able to install a new section of pipe inside of the damaged pipe using woven fiberglass and resins. The new pipe is not only stronger than any cast iron, clay, or PVC pipe (see video at bottom of page), but it is smooth and seamless to ensure proper drainage and flow.
Clay pipe, which is very common in Park Ridge sewer construction, is notorious for allowing roots to penetrate through the connections between sections of pipe. Trenchless Sewer Repair completely seals off these connections wherever it’s installed and is completely impervious to root penetration.
