Trenchless Pipe Repair on O'ahu
Traditional sewer repair means tearing up your yard, driveway, or landscaping. Trenchless pipe repair fixes the same problems — cracks, root damage, collapse — with minimal excavation. Your property stays intact.

What We Do
Trenchless Methods We Use
Two proven techniques cover almost every sewer and water line repair situation.
Cured-In-Place Pipe Lining (CIPP)
A flexible liner saturated with resin is inserted into the existing pipe and inflated against the walls. Once cured, it becomes a smooth, jointless new pipe inside the old one. No digging, no disruption.
Pipe Bursting
A bursting head is pulled through the old pipe, fracturing it outward while new pipe is simultaneously pulled in behind it. Full pipe replacement with only small entry and exit holes.
Pre-Repair Camera Inspection
Every trenchless job starts with a video camera inspection to confirm the pipe is a candidate for trenchless repair and to identify the exact location and extent of damage.
Post-Repair Camera Verification
After the liner or new pipe is in place, we run the camera again to verify complete coverage, smooth walls, and proper flow — before we leave your property.
Residential Sewer Lines
Replace or rehabilitate the sewer line from your home to the city main without destroying your lawn, garden beds, or concrete.
Commercial & Multi-Unit
Apartment buildings, commercial properties, and HOAs get the fastest, lowest-disruption repair option available for their underground pipe infrastructure.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does trenchless pipe repair last?
CIPP pipe liners are designed with a 50-year service life and often last longer. New HDPE pipe installed via pipe bursting is rated for 100+ years. In most cases, a trenchless repair will outlast the original pipe it replaced.
Is trenchless pipe repair more expensive than traditional digging?
The pipe repair itself is often comparable in cost, and trenchless is frequently cheaper when you factor in what you're not paying for: concrete breaking and patching, landscaping restoration, or structural repairs from excavation damage. Most homeowners on O'ahu save money overall with trenchless.
Can any pipe be repaired with trenchless methods?
Trenchless works on most pipes in good enough structural condition to support the liner or the bursting process. Completely collapsed sections, certain pipe configurations, and some older clay pipe situations may require traditional excavation. We assess every job individually with a camera inspection before recommending a method.
How long does the repair take?
A single-section CIPP lining job is typically done in one day. Pipe bursting jobs are similar. Traditional excavation repairs on the same section would usually take 2–4 days with additional time for concrete patching and landscaping. Trenchless is significantly faster.
Will my water or sewer be out during the repair?
There will be a period of a few hours when service is shut off while the liner cures or new pipe is set. We schedule this to minimize inconvenience and let you know the exact timeline in advance. Most homeowners have service restored the same day.
