Trenchless

The process of sewer line replacement has benefitted in recent years by advancement in technology, and by the adaptation of existing technologies to this field. Trenchless sewer line replacement, or “pipebursting” has many benefits over conventional open trench replacement. Primary among these is a much lower impact on landscape, quicker turnaround times and, (at least as applied by Apex Plumbing) lower job cost.

The video on this page gives a good overview of the trenchless process.
