Trenchless Sewer Repair in Des Moines: what is different here

Trenchless Sewer Repair questions in Des Moines
Check with the sewer district named on your utility bill, and with the City of Des Moines. In most cases you own the side sewer from your house to the public main, so the repair is yours to arrange. We camera the line first and tell you whether trenchless options fit your pipe.
Here is what is typical once we are on site. Camera inspection: typically 1 to 2 hours. Pipe lining: typically 1 to 2 days. Des Moines is about 35 minutes from our base via I-5 north. We confirm timing with you when you book.
A camera inspection tells us. Lining needs a pipe that still holds its shape, even if it is cracked or has roots in the joints. If the line has collapsed or sags badly, a liner may not work. We show you the video and explain your options.
