What a Trenchless Job Includes
Every trenchless job follows a clear package of steps, from the first camera run to the small pit cleanup.
- A camera check. We check that the old pipe suits trenchless work before we promise anything.
- Pit layout. We choose where the launch and exit pits go to keep digging to a minimum.
- Bursting or lining. The method fits your pipe, as the next sections explain.
- Reconnection. The new line joins your house and the connection point.
- A second camera run. The footage shows the finished pipe from end to end.
- Small pit restoration. We backfill the pits and tidy the area.
Why Trenchless Suits Chester Rowhomes
Many Chester laterals sit under things that are costly to dig up.
- Front walks and porches. Chester rowhome front walks and porches often sit directly over the lateral. Tearing them out costs more than the pipe itself.
- Shared sidewalks. Sidewalks along numbered streets belong to a long chain of owners and rules. Keeping them intact avoids extra approvals.
- Lawns and trees. Ridley Park and Aston lawns with mature trees stay mostly untouched when the work happens through two small pits.
Our Trenchless Job in Six Moves
- Camera and measure. We record the old line, check its shape and measure the run.
- Pick bursting or lining. The pipe condition decides which method fits.
- Permits and PA811. Paperwork and utility marks come first.
- Dig small pits. One at each end of the run is usually enough.
- Replace the pipe. HDPE gets pulled through, or the liner is cured in place.
- Camera and close up. A final run proves the work, then we fill the pits.
Pipe Bursting vs Lining: Which Fits
Bursting gives you a brand new pipe, often the same size or larger. Lining is quicker when the old pipe is still in shape and you want minimal digging. If neither works, we say so.
| Point | Pipe Bursting | CIPP Lining |
|---|---|---|
| What goes in | New HDPE pipe | An epoxy liner in a felt tube |
| Best for | Cracked or broken pipe | A pipe that is still round |
| Digging | Launch and exit pits | Minimal digging |
| Speed | Takes about a day or two | Often faster |
| Limits | Tight bends can be an issue | Needs a pipe in good shape |
