Traditional Open-Trench Repair
Trenchless Repair
Sewer lines fail gradually. A camera inspection can confirm the cause, but these symptoms are usually the first clue.
Many homes in older London neighbourhoods still run on their original clay, Orangeburg, or cast iron sewer line, which makes them more likely to show these warning signs first.
Recurring Backups at Your Lowest Fixtures
A basement drain or toilet backing up repeatedly often points to a blockage or break further down the line.
Multiple Drains Gurgling at Once
When several fixtures gurgle together, it usually means the main line, not a single drain, is affected.
Soggy or Sunken Patches in the Yard
Unusually lush, wet, or sunken ground above the sewer line can mean it's leaking underground.
Older Clay, Orangeburg, or Cast Iron Piping
Homes with original piping from these eras are more prone to root intrusion, cracking, and collapse.
Which method fits your line depends on its condition, material, and depth. We'll recommend the right one after a camera inspection.
A bursting head is pulled through your old pipe, cracking it outward while simultaneously pulling a new seamless pipe into place behind it.
A resin-saturated liner is inserted into the existing pipe and cured in place, forming a smooth, jointless pipe within the old one.
Every property is different. These are the main factors we account for in a quote.
Line Length & Depth
Longer or deeper runs require more material and access work.
Pipe Material & Condition
Severity of damage determines whether bursting or lining is used.
Access Point Locations
Access through a driveway or hardscaping can add restoration work.
Permits & Municipal Requirements
City permits and inspections in London, Ontario are factored into your timeline and quote.
CCTV Camera Inspection
We run a camera through the line to locate cracks, breaks, or root intrusion and confirm the exact problem area.
Method Recommendation & Quote
Based on the inspection, we recommend pipe bursting or CIPP lining and provide a flat-rate quote before any digging.
Access Point Setup
We open one or two small access points, usually a cleanout or a small pit, instead of trenching the full line.
Pipe Bursting or CIPP Lining
Our crew installs the new pipe or liner from the access points, restoring full flow without disturbing your yard.
Final Camera Verification
We run the camera through the finished line to confirm full flow and proper installation before closing up.
Our front lawn had just been redone when the toilet started backing up, and I was dreading what a sewer repair would do to it. They used pipe bursting through two small holes near the curb and you honestly can't tell anything was ever done out there.
Grace T.
Byron, London, ON
Searched trenchless sewer repair near me after noticing a soggy patch by the fence. Quick, tidy, and barely touched the yard. Exactly what they quoted, no surprises.
Owen M.
Oakridge, London, ON
Was sure this meant ripping out part of our driveway to get at the old clay pipe. Looked up CIPP pipe lining near me and found this crew, who lined it from a single access point instead. Camera footage before and after made it easy to see exactly what was wrong and what got fixed. Driveway never got touched.
Sandra L.
Masonville, London, ON
Had been blaming the slow drains on grease for months. A camera inspection showed a collapsed section near the property line instead. The trenchless quote came in well under what I'd braced for after calling around, and the whole repair was done in a single day.

Common questions we hear from London, Ontario homeowners before booking a trenchless repair.
It depends on the job, but trenchless methods often come out even or ahead once you factor in restoring a driveway, deck, or landscaping after a traditional dig. We give you a flat-rate quote for both options so you can compare directly.
No. Both pipe bursting and CIPP lining only require one or two small access points, usually a cleanout or a small pit at each end of the affected section. Your landscaping stays intact.
Most residential jobs are completed in a single day, from setting up access points to the final camera verification. Longer or more complicated runs may take longer, which we'll flag during the quote.
We start every trenchless job with a camera inspection. A pipe that's cracked or root-intruded but still structurally round is usually a good candidate for CIPP lining. A collapsed or badly misaligned pipe typically calls for pipe bursting instead.
Both pipe bursting and CIPP lining are built to last several decades when installed correctly. We verify every job with a final camera pass before we consider it complete.
In most cases, yes. Our licensed team handles the permit application and inspection process as part of the job, so you don't have to deal with the city directly.
