What Des Moines property owners want to know about trenchless sewer repair — answered by our experts.
Trenchless sewer repair in Des Moines typically costs $4,000 to $12,000 depending on pipe length, diameter, and damage extent. While the repair itself may cost more than excavation, total project cost is often lower because you avoid landscaping, driveway, and hardscape restoration.
Most can, but not all. Severely collapsed pipes, pipes with multiple sharp bends, or undersized pipes may not be candidates. Scranton Sewer Authority always camera-inspects first and is honest about when trenchless is and is not the right choice for your Des Moines property.
Minimal. CIPP lining typically requires no excavation if a cleanout exists. Pipe bursting requires two small access pits at each end of the repair. Both methods avoid the full-length trench that traditional replacement requires.
Yes. Trenchless CIPP lining works well on clay pipes in Des Moines because it creates a new pipe inside the old one, sealing all cracks and joint separations. Pipe bursting also works on clay by fracturing the old pipe and pulling new HDPE through.

"The trenchless repair saved our front yard. We were dreading having to dig up the entire lawn but they pulled a liner through the existing pipe and it was done in one day. Could not even tell they were there."
"Our restaurant had a grease trap emergency right before a health inspection. They came out the same morning, pumped and cleaned the trap, and got us compliant. Lifesavers."
