Why does a sewer line keep backing up even after you've had it snaked twice? Usually the pipe itself has failed somewhere along its run, not a clog passing through again. Trenchless sewer repair fixes that failure point from the inside or by pulling new pipe through the old path, without trenching the whole yard open.
Erlanger Sewer Pros runs a camera first on every call. Some blocks here still have original clay or cast-iron laterals, others have newer PVC from later subdivisions, and the right fix depends on which one you've got. Once the footage shows the damage, we recommend lining, bursting, or a short dig, whichever actually matches the pipe condition.

How Our Trenchless Sewer Repair Process Works
Step 1Problem Assessment
We go over the symptoms, slow drains or backups, before scheduling the camera run.
Step 2Video Line Inspection
A camera survey shows exactly where the pipe has failed and how bad it is.
Step 3Method Selection
Lining or bursting gets picked based on the pipe's age and material, not a guess.
Step 4Access Point Setup
Small pits go in, not a trench across the whole yard.
Step 5Repair Execution
The chosen method gets installed with equipment sized for the job.
Step 6Post-Repair Testing
We flow-test and run the camera again before calling it done.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Trenchless Sewer Repair
Erlanger's mix of older in-city streets and newer subdivisions means the right material changes block to block. Here's what we actually use.
Cured-In-Place Liners
Resin-soaked liners cure inside the old pipe, which works well on the clay laterals still common in Erlanger's original neighborhoods.
Pulling Cables
Heavy cable guides new pipe into place when bursting is the better call for a severely damaged line.
Access Pit Covers
Small dig sites get covered between visits so driveways and walkways stay usable.
Flow Diversion Equipment
Bypass pumps keep water moving through the house while the repair happens.
Inspection Camera Heads
Compact heads get through tight bends that older, shifted pipe sections often have.
UV Curing Lights
UV sources speed liner cure time, useful when a repair needs to wrap up in one visit.

FAQs
Trenchless Sewer Repair FAQs
Is trenchless sewer repair cheaper than digging up the yard?
It's usually competitive on total cost once you add in landscaping, concrete, or driveway repair after an open trench. The savings show up more in the yard than the invoice.
Does trenchless sewer repair work on old clay pipe?
Yes. Clay laterals are common candidates for CIPP lining, which seals joints and cracks without replacing the whole run.
Can trenchless repair be done in winter?
As long as the ground isn't frozen too deep to open a small access pit. We check conditions on the estimate visit.
How long does trenchless sewer repair take?
A single-pipe repair, from camera inspection through cure, typically wraps in one to two days.
Do I need a permit?
Spot repairs and lining of an existing line usually don't require one. Full replacement or a new tie-in to the main usually does. We'll confirm with Kenton County before starting.
