Trenchless Sewer Service in Rockwall Serving Dallas Fort-Worth
What Is Trenchless Sewer Repair?
Trenchless sewer repair revolutionizes how we fix underground pipes by eliminating the need for extensive excavation. Instead of digging up your entire yard, driveway, or foundation, our advanced techniques repair or replace sewer lines from the inside using specialized equipment and materials.
This innovative approach preserves your landscaping, hardscaping, and property value while providing a permanent solution that often outperforms traditional pipe replacement methods. Our professional plumbers use industry-leading Perma-Liner technology to create seamless, durable pipe systems.
Two Primary Trenchless Methods
Pipe Lining (Cured-in-Place Pipe – CIPP)
Our pipe lining process involves inserting a resin-saturated liner into the existing damaged pipe. Once positioned, the liner is inflated and cured, creating a new pipe within the old one. This method is ideal for pipes with cracks, small holes, or minor structural damage.
Pipe Bursting
For severely damaged pipes requiring complete replacement, pipe bursting breaks apart the old pipe while simultaneously pulling in new piping. This method provides brand-new pipes without excavation.

Rockwall-Specific Sewer Challenges
Rockwall’s unique geology and mature tree coverage create specific sewer line problems that trenchless repair addresses effectively:
- Clay Soil Movement: Expansive clay soils shift with moisture changes, cracking rigid pipes
- Tree Root Intrusion: Mature oak and elm trees seek moisture, infiltrating sewer lines
- Aging Infrastructure: Many Rockwall neighborhoods have older clay and cast iron pipes nearing end-of-life
- Weather Extremes: Texas heat and occasional freezes stress underground pipes
