Trenchless Sewer Repair in Federal Way: what is different here

Federal Way has many homes from the 1960s to 1980s, and lots near Steel Lake and Twin Lakes often have big trees whose roots find sewer joints. We take I-5 north, about 25 minutes, run a camera, and explain whether lining or pipe bursting can fix the line without a trench through your yard.

How the job runs

  1. Camera the line

    We run a camera through your sewer line and show you the video. You see the roots, cracks or sags yourself.
  2. Choose the method

    We explain if lining, pipe bursting or a dig repair fits your pipe, and why. You get a flat-rate price first.
  3. Clean and prepare

    For lining, we clean the pipe wall. For pipe bursting, we dig a small access hole at each end.
  4. Repair and re-check

    We install the new pipe, reconnect it and run the camera again so you see the finished line.

Trenchless Sewer Repair questions in Federal Way

Lakehaven Water and Sewer District serves much of the city, so check with them, and with the City of Federal Way, about what the repair needs. In most cases you own the side sewer from the house to the public main. We camera the line first, then give you a flat-rate price before work begins.

Here is what is typical once we are on site. Camera inspection: typically 1 to 2 hours. Pipe lining: typically 1 to 2 days. Federal Way is about 25 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.
