Is trenchless sewer repair really better than digging?

Posted by Bibiter on October 23, 2025, 9:02 am

Our old clay pipes keep backing up, and one contractor suggested a trenchless method instead of digging the yard. It sounds convenient, but I’m not sure if it lasts as long.

We live in a tight neighborhood, so digging would destroy the driveway and garden. Still, I want to be sure the solution is durable enough to justify the cost.

We had our sewer line replaced using trenchless technology via https://bens.plumbing/services/sewer-line-repair-seattle/trenchless/ . It was honestly the best decision — the team replaced the entire section without touching our yard or driveway. The process took less than a day, and they used a resin liner that hardens inside the pipe, making it as strong as new. Two years later, it’s working flawlessly, no clogs or backups. The upfront cost was slightly higher, but the convenience and long-term reliability made it worth every penny.
