What's happening with your sewer line?
Start with the symptom you're seeing. Each option helps a contractor understand whether inspection, repair or replacement is likely.
How trenchless repair works
- 1
Inspect
A sewer camera inspection identifies the location, depth and condition of the problem in your lateral.
- 2
Choose the repair method
CIPP lining, pipe bursting, a point repair or another suitable method, based on what the camera shows.
- 3
Repair with less excavation
Restore the sewer line while minimizing disruption to the property where conditions allow.
Trenchless technologies used on residential sewers
Three of the most common elements of a residential trenchless project in Canada.
Pipe Bursting
The old pipe is broken outward and a new pipe is pulled through the same path, typically using an entry and exit pit.

Sewer Camera Inspection
CCTV inspection shows roots, cracks, offsets and collapses, and determines which repair method is realistic.
Learn about sewer camera inspectionWhy homeowners consider trenchless repair
- • Less excavation than a full-length open trench in many situations
- • Driveways, walkways and patios can often be protected
- • Reduced disruption to lawns, gardens and mature landscaping
- • Structural repair options rather than repeated drain cleaning
- • Suitable for many — though not all — residential sewer problems
Whether trenchless methods suit your property depends on the pipe, its depth and the available access. A camera inspection is what confirms it.
Repair or replace?
Lining may be suitable
Where the pipe is cracked, has root intrusion at joints, or shows minor structural damage but still holds its shape, CIPP lining can often rehabilitate the line.
How residential sewer repair worksReplacement may be required
Severely collapsed pipe, major misalignment or a line that cannot accept a liner generally needs pipe bursting or excavation of the affected section.

There is no single national price. Costs in Canadian dollars move with the length and diameter of the pipe, how deep it sits, the condition of the host pipe, how accessible the run is, the cleaning and preparation required, whether lining or bursting is used, the number of access points and any surface restoration.
