Trenchless Sewer Replacement in Wichita, Augusta & Andover

What Is Trenchless Sewer Replacement?

Trenchless sewer replacement lets us install a brand-new sewer line without digging a long open trench from your house to the street or septic tank. Instead, we use small access points and specialized equipment to replace the pipe underground.

• Pipe bursting – a new pipe is pulled through the old line while a bursting head breaks up the existing pipe underground.
• Minimal surface disruption – often just small pits at each end of the run instead of a full open trench.
• Less yard damage – driveways, sidewalks and landscaping can often be preserved, which can save thousands in restoration costs.
• Faster completion – many trenchless projects can be completed more quickly than full dig-and-replace jobs.

We'll review your camera inspection, property layout and city requirements to determine whether trenchless replacement is a good fit for your home in Wichita, Augusta, Andover or the surrounding area.

When Trenchless Sewer Replacement Works Best

Homes around Wichita, Augusta, Andover and El Dorado sit on a mix of older clay lines, newer PVC and everything in between. Trenchless sewer replacement often makes sense when:

• The line runs under driveways, patios or mature landscaping you want to protect.
• Camera inspection shows long stretches of damage where spot repairs are no longer practical.
• The route is fairly straight and accessible from reasonable entry and exit points.
• You want to minimize yard restoration costs and get the property back to normal quickly.

There are situations where traditional excavation is still the better choice—such as complex routes, shallow depths or major grade issues. If that's the case, we'll explain why and provide options for a full dig-and-replace instead.

Our Trenchless Replacement Process

Replacing a sewer line is a big decision. We make the process as clear and straightforward as possible from the first call to final inspection:

1. Sewer Camera Inspection & Locating – we run an HD camera through the line to document damage, measure distances and mark key points in your yard.
2. Trenchless Feasibility Check – we evaluate depth, route, utilities and city requirements to see if trenchless methods are safe and appropriate.
3. Written Options & Upfront Pricing – you'll see clear pricing for trenchless vs. traditional if both are possible, along with what's included in each.
4. Permits & City Coordination – we handle the paperwork, permit pulls and inspections so your new sewer line is fully code-compliant.
5. Trenchless Replacement Day – our crew sets up access pits, replaces the line, ties into the city sewer or septic and tests for proper flow at multiple fixtures.
6. Backfill & Clean-Up – we backfill the access points and clean up the jobsite as much as conditions allow, then walk you through what was done.

For many homeowners around Augusta, Andover and Wichita, trenchless replacement ends up being the least disruptive long-term fix when a sewer line has reached the end of its life.
