Our Repair Options
1. Traditional Trench Repair
When trenching is required, we:
- Locate the damaged pipe with cameras and ground-penetrating tools
- Excavate carefully to expose the affected area
- Remove and replace damaged pipe with materials that meet Houston building codes* Backfill the site and restore concrete, landscaping, driveways or flooring
We work fast—often complete in just a day—while meeting all municipal regulations
2. Trenchless Repair & Replacement
For less invasive solutions we offer two advanced trenchless options:
- Pipe Bursting (PowerPipe Method): We fuse new pipe as we break the old one. This method installs durable polyethylene pipe, resistant to corrosion and root intrusion, with a lifespan of 50–100 years zoomdrain-integration.com.
- Pipe Relining (CIPP): We apply an epoxy liner cured inside the existing pipe, sealing cracks and preventing root entry. This creates a seamless, strong inner pipe without digging zoomdrain-integration.com.
These methods let homes keep driveways, lawns, sidewalks and patios intact—often saving on restoration costs and time.

FAQs
What is trenchless pipe repair?
Trenchless methods—pipe relining and pipe bursting—repair or replace pipe without digging. Good for landscaping, concrete or structures.
Trenchless or full excavation?
Trenchless is best when you want minimal disruption and the damage isn’t severe. Full excavation may be needed for badly crushed or inaccessible pipes. We’ll help you decide.
Is pipe relining strong?
Yes—CIPP forms a new pipe inside the old. It’s seamless, root-resistant and lasts 50+ years zoomdrain-integration.com.
How long does it take?
Trenchless jobs usually take a day. Full excavation can take 1-2 days depending on the job.
Does insurance cover drain repair?
Some policies have sewer or water backup coverage. Check your policy—coverage is location and issue specific.

- Persistent slow drains or backups.
- Unpleasant odors coming from your drains.
