Qualification work is part of the price
Camera inspection, locating, heavy cleaning, root cutting, scale removal, and pipe measurement may be required before lining or bursting. A severely offset, collapsed, or poorly sloped line can require excavation even when most of the project is trenchless.
- Lining versus pipe bursting
- Pipe diameter and total installed length
- Number of access pits and branch connections
- Curing, testing, and warranty requirements
Measure value by the disruption avoided
A trenchless proposal may be valuable because it avoids removing a driveway, patio, finished floor, or major landscaping. Compare the total project—including required pits and restoration—with a complete open-trench alternative.
