If your sewer lines are leaking or cracked, excavating isn’t always necessary. Midwest Excavating, Inc offers trenchless sewer repair services to Daybreakhomeowners and businesses, including pipe lining and pipe bursting.
Traditional: Requires extensive excavation, disrupting landscaping and structures
Trenchless: Minimal digging, preserving your property
Pipe Lining: Inserts a resin-coated liner into the damaged pipe, which hardens to form a new pipe inside the old one
Pipe Bursting: Breaks the old pipe while pulling a new one into place
If you’re looking for a fast, low-impact solution to damaged sewer lines on your Daybreak residential or commercial property, our trenchless pipe relining service is an excellent option. Rather than replacing the entire line, we reinforce it from within using a durable epoxy liner—no digging required. This method extends the life of your sewer system while keeping your landscaping and hardscaping intact.
Here’s the process:
Sewer Camera Inspection – We begin with a high-resolution camera inspection to pinpoint the issue and determine whether repair or full replacement is needed.
Thorough Line Cleaning – The existing sewer line is cleaned to remove debris, mineral buildup, and invasive roots, ensuring a smooth surface for relining.
Epoxy Liner Installation – A seamless, high-strength epoxy liner is inserted into the pipe, inflated with a bladder, and left to cure—creating a new pipe inside the old one.
Bladder Removal Once – cured, the bladder is removed, leaving behind a solid, impenetrable “pipe within a pipe” that restores full functionality to your sewer line.
There’s another method we employ to repair sewer lines for Daybreak homeowners and businesses that also keeps properties mostly intact. Trenchless pipe bursting takes a different route to repairing sewer lines, also without digging up your yard. We use hydraulic equipment to break apart the old pipe while pulling a new pipe into place.
In simple terms, trenchless bursting is done by digging two pits, shoving a cone-shaped head down inside and exploding the existing pipe away from the new main sewer lines. It requires complex tech in the pneumatic rupturing system which can also be hydraulic. Our crew pushes the system from the receiving to the launching pits.
Pipe bursting has one decided advantage over pipe relining. During pipe relining, the diameter of your sewage line become smaller. In contrast, the pipe bursting methods typically results in a sewer line greater in diameter than the original pipe. The small amount of digging needed for trenchless pipe bursting makes this technique ideal for properties that have considerable concrete, hardscaping and other landscape features that run over sewer lines.
